SwiftConnect makes it easy for you to reach your customers via text messages. All you have to do is reserve a specific keyword, and then your customers can text that keyword to your number to subscribe to future updates.

What Is an SMS Keyword?
An SMS keyword is a word or phrase that your customers can text to a 10-digit number. When they do, they’re signing up for future SMS marketing campaigns. For example, if a restaurant asks you to text BURGER to  your toll-free number, BURGER is the keyword.

What Number Can I Use with Keywords?
By default, we set up every SwiftConnect account with a toll-free number and unlimited keywords. The benefit of using a toll-free number is that you don’t share it with anyone else. This means you’ll have all the keywords under the sun at your disposal It’s also possible to buy a vanity toll-free number. This would allow you to have an easy-to-remember number such as 1-800-PIZZA.

How to Use Keywords
You can use keywords in many different ways to communicate with customers. For instance, you can invite them to text a keyword to receive coupons, information about changes in business hours, or notifications of upcoming events. With unlimited keywords you can make very targeted keywords.
