Outbound SMS Messaging
Deliver messages at the
right time to customers with
outbound SMS.
Trusted by leading CX-obsessed brands.
One platform for all your outbound text messaging needs.
Quiq’s Outbound SMS Messaging brings all of your outbound messaging together into one intuitive platform—empowering your business to message customers about the things that matter most, and when they matter most. Whether you’re sending a single direct message to your customer or tens of thousands of messages at once, Quiq has you covered.
Proactivity leads to two-way
conversations.
One of the most effective ways to provide technical support, send shipping notifications, and create sales alerts is to use outbound messaging—a service-side feature in which a company representative contacts potential customers directly. And with Quiq, if customers have follow-up questions or want to place an order, they can reply to connect with a bot or one of your agents.
Send 1:1 or 1: many with confidence.
Today, customers have smartphones nearby nearly every minute of the day. Two-way outbound notifications empower your business to send information right to your customers’ mobile devices. In no time, send one, or one million, messages from short or long codes with Quiq’s high-capacity messaging platform.
Send customers a text message they’ll
happily read.
It’s a fact: Email open rates average 21.5%. And the next generation of consumers doesn’t email at all. You can replace any transactional email you send today with a text message notification. Unlike email, text messages have a nearly 100% read rate. Want to see a lift in engagement? Send an outbound SMS message!
Make an impression with rich
outbound messaging.
Go beyond plain text with rich notifications, including cards with images, links, and buttons, to help consumers respond easily. With Quiq’s unique multi-channel messaging platform, you can send a message, and Quiq will automatically transform it into its best form across channels—whether it’s Google Rich Business Messaging, Facebook Messenger, Apple Messages for Business, or just SMS.
