Speaker 1: How can SMS help my business grow? Here’s an example. Suzy is a marketing director for a museum. She uses CallFire to send her members text reminders so that they never miss a great exhibit. She even includes a link so smart-phone users can get all the exhibit details. Now that members know to visit the museum, Suzy’s got another marketing magic trick up her sleeve once they get there. She posts signs inviting visitors to text, “I love art,” to her CallFire phone number. Once they text in, they automatically receive a discount to the museum gift shop.

Suzy loves how easy CallFire makes sending and receiving texts, and her members love the timeliness and convenience of getting reminders, promotions, and discounts right in their pocket. CallFire works with both long codes and short codes and provides opt in and opt out support, all for just pennies per message. Developers can even use CallFire APIs to program SMS apps of their own.

What Is Call Tracking?

Call tracking is a marketing and customer service tool that allows you to record and track inbound calls and measure the success of marketing campaigns.

Here’s how call tracking works.

  • Buy phone numbers. Purchase local or toll-free numbers (as many as you’d like).
  • Designate numbers to channels. Assign a unique phone number to each channel, location or medium you want to track.
  • Start tracking! With the unique phone numbers, you’ll get reports that show you where each call came from.

Integrate Call Tracking With Voice and Text

Tracking phone calls online provides value far beyond reporting. With a voice and text solution like CallFire, you can integrate voice broadcast, interactive voice response and SMS marketing to launch more effective multichannel marketing campaigns.

Combine one or all of these features to get even more out of your call tracking software:

  • SMS marketing to capture contacts who prefer texting over speaking on the phone.
  • Voice broadcast to deliver custom voice messages by phone.
  • Interactive voice response (IVR) to route inbound calls to the correct person, and capture keypress data so callers can request text messages.

Combining call tracking with SMS and voice communications allows you to communicate with your target market where and how they prefer, achieving enterprise-level reach with less manpower.
