22 Nov Beyond Marketing: How Enterprises Are Using SMS Creatively

Posted at 16:20h in Business SMS by

For years, SMS was seen primarily as a marketing tool: push a promotion, get a quick response, measure click-through. But in 2025, enterprises are using SMS for far more than sales. They’re turning to it as a flexible, enterprise-wide communication layer that touches everything from HR to operations.

Expanding Beyond Promotions

Here’s how enterprises are getting creative with SMS:

  • Human Resources
    • Interview reminders.
    • Onboarding checklists.
    • Policy updates for distributed staff.
  • Events
    • Ticket confirmations and QR codes.
    • Live event updates and session changes.
    • Post-event feedback surveys.
  • Customer Service
    • Two-way SMS for quick support without hold times.
    • Satisfaction surveys.
    • Automated updates (e.g. “Your case is now resolved”).
  • Operations
    • Equipment collection or delivery reminders.
    • Internal workflow notifications.
    • Field staff coordination.

Why This Matters for Enterprises

SMS is universal, reliable, and fast—making it a natural fit for processes where email or apps fall short. Unlike email, which is often ignored, SMS ensures time-sensitive communication lands where it matters most: the mobile device in everyone’s pocket.
