Text marketing with Twilio
How does SMS marketing work?
Deliver the right message on the right channel
SMS (or text message) marketing is a way to reach customers with messages that are tailored to them. It can be as targeted as 100 hyper-personalized messages to your most loyal customers or as expansive as millions of notifications about your annual sale.
With Twilio, you have unlimited flexibility to create the ideal text marketing experience on the channels your customers use: SMS, MMS, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, or Google’s Business Messages.
