I’m sending bulk messages. How do I ensure I stand out from the crowd?
According to a Telefonica study, consumers receive an average of 63.5 notifications daily. This is overwhelming, so consumers naturally prioritise which notifications they want to receive and mute everything else. For businesses to be heard, messages must be authentic and personalised, encouraging two-way conversation. That’s what conversational messaging is all about.
