Introduction

In today's digital age, staying connected with your audience is crucial. While email marketing remains a mainstay, engagement rates continue to decline. However, one channel consistently shines: SMS text message broadcasts. With open rates exceeding 98% and response times significantly faster than other platforms, SMS broadcasts offer a direct, engaging, and impactful way to reach your target audience.

But let's face it, simply sending out mass texts isn't enough. LimeText empowers you to leverage the power of SMS strategically, crafting targeted broadcasts that amplify your reach, ignite engagement, and drive real results.

Group MMS vs. Broadcast: What's the Difference?

Before diving in, let's clarify the difference between two key terms: Group MMS and SMS broadcasts. Group MMS allows you to create a group chat with up to 250 people, while broadcasts send the same message to a larger audience, with recipients unable to see each other's replies. For one-way communication and maximum reach, SMS broadcasts are your go-to choice.
