Customer service messaging FAQs

Want to learn more about customer service text messaging and SMS customer support? We’ve answered some common questions below. Contact our team if you need any additional tips, best practices, or information.

Modern SMS software or SMS customer service software refers to cloud-based platforms that help businesses text with consumers, then receive and read texts. These platforms, Heymarket included, allow you to text-enable a business number or add a new number for texting, and are accessible via websites or as apps on your phone.

SMS for business customer service lets customers talk to your team by texting your business number or messaging your brand through channels like Facebook Messenger. To communicate with customers via SMS, you need SMS software like Heymarket. It will help you respond to and manage the many customer SMS messages you receive.

Yes, but before sending customer support text messages, customers must opt in to receive SMS from your business. Once they’ve opted in, you can send important customer service texts like account notifications, ticket follow-ups, return updates, and reminders.

Start by setting up your business SMS platform and uploading your contacts. Then, use your customer service messaging tool to compose and send SMS messages for customer support. Heymarket makes it easy to send and manage customer service texts with automation, templates, and shared inboxes.

For SMS customer support, you need to share your business’s number and let customers know they can text customer service team members. Publicize this information by including it on a Contact Us page, posting about your text customer support on social media platforms, and emailing customers who belong to your email newsletter list.

Some business texting platforms only allow one-way messaging. With one-way messaging, you can only message customers and they can’t reply. Conversational SMS refers to two-way text messaging between agents and customers. Conversational support—providing customer service through messaging conversation—is an effective tactic for helping, engaging, and forming relationships with customers.

Text etiquette is new territory for a lot of customer service teams. Use a casual yet polite tone, like you would with a new neighbor. However, with SMS for customer support, you should also add some personality. If your brand guide allows, use emojis and GIFs to liven up conversations and let customers know they’re texting with people, not bots.

Some customers will always prefer calls. However, once many customers find out that you offer texting, they’ll start sending their questions via message, empowering your team to answer more customers in less time. Promote your SMS number and opt-in process to encourage them to sign up. Share this information on your website, across your social media channels, and in your email newsletters. Include your response times so customers know they’ll receive faster replies through messaging.
