Personalised MMS

Campaigns at Scale

While smartphone users are well accustomed to sending photographs and other images, videos, audio clips and animations by MMS, many marketers overlook the added-value of MMS as a mass-communication channel.

MMS & Failover Planning

There are times when it’s virtually impossible for companies to send even essential MMS messages to customers, such as when the customer has failed to advise of a phone number change.

To cater for this, it can be helpful to ask customers to express their personal preferences for a “Plan B” or even “Plan C”. At iLiveIt, we call this Failover Planning, and it works like this:

In our experience, establishing Failover plans can play a significant role in ensuring that customers do not miss important updates, messages and calls-to-action.

All too often Failover Planning is over-looked entirely because the different channels involved are managed by different marketing service providers or other vendors (for example, one vendor providing email services, another giving SMS services, and no vendor appointed to deliver rich-media MMS campaigns). This makes it difficult, if not impossible, to set up an automated system of failovers at scale.
