Striata has a number of mobile solutions, all designed to enhance marketing efforts.

SMS messaging
Personalised and customised SMSes can be sent to a company’s database and can also be scheduled if there are recurring reminders that need to be sent.

Bulk SMSes can be personalised with a name or any other customer information. Striata consults on best practices with respect to sending out SMSes.

MMS messaging
Images tell the story and MMS is a perfect medium to reach a customer base directly, as it is an interactive mobile message, which can also include sound.

There are however a limited amount of people who can view MMSes, so sending must be targeted to customers who have opted to receive these marketing messages and who  have compatible phones.

Short-code campaigns
Short-code numbers can be set-up, enabling broader interactive marketing campaigns, or even in-store email acquisition campaigns. All incoming SMSes are captured in a database and Striata then manages the mobile campaign.

Striata consults on the legal requirements concerning short-code campaigns as well as best practices, when implementing a short-code campaign.

Text-4-email
The solution enables a company to grow its email database using SMS as a medium. A specially crafted SMS message is sent to customers without email addresses and the reply is captured into database. If the email address is a valid, formatted email address, then a confirmation email will be sent to the customer to confirm their email address and to obtain their permission for further communication.

Text-4-bounce
An SMS is sent to customers whose email addresses bounce, requesting that they update or confirm their email addresses - the new details are then captured on the relevant company’s database.  This solution can easily be used to reduce bounces, as it can be automated and integrated into email communications.

Text-2-rate
This is a customer service rating solution using SMS as a medium. The advantage of this system is the ability to capture the responses in real-time, automatically validate it, rate it and trigger a follow-up call-to-action. It provides an easy-to-implement dip-stick into your customer’s attitude towards you, and allows you to benchmark your business changes over time and other criteria.
