What this service does for you
What it does
Builds SMS contests and campaigns, generates serial codes, checks incoming messages against your rules, replies automatically and runs prize draws.
What it solves
A seller rarely knows who ends up with their product; the code a buyer texts creates that connection and keeps it for later messages.
An example
A manufacturer that prints a code on every pack; the buyer texts it to activate the warranty and enters the monthly draw.
Uses
One code, five uses
Warranty sign-up
The buyer activates their warranty by texting the code on the product.
Code check
The buyer asks whether the code on the product was issued by you and has not been registered before.
Customer club
Each buyer who registers a code stays on your list of participants, ready for your next messages.
Points and repeat purchases
Each code is worth a set number of points, and the number of codes a buyer has registered shows their repeat purchases.

Draw winners from the participants, as many as you choose.

Knowing your buyers
Every entry, a sign of a sale
Reports are built from the codes registered; the more precisely you tie codes to products and sales channels, the clearer the picture of your buyers.
Product and dealer
Generate a separate series of codes for each product or dealer, so each entry shows where it came from.
Repeat purchases
The number of codes each number has registered shows how many purchases it has recorded.
Time of entry
The time each SMS arrives is recorded; it is when the buyer engaged, not necessarily when they bought.

Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions
- Does it show where the purchase was made?
- Not from the SMS itself. The region comes from the series of codes you generated for each dealer or region, or from what the buyer tells you.
- Does a valid code prove the product is genuine?
- No. The system tells you that you issued the code and how many times it has been registered; whether the physical product is genuine also depends on how the codes are printed and distributed.
- Which number does the buyer text?
- The SMS line you choose for each contest.
