SMS Relay Service
Shopkeeper Solutions CC are proud to offer an economical and simple-to-use
email-to-SMS relay service that also relays SMS replies directly to the oiginal email sender's email address together with the text of the original SMS.
Unlike bulk SMS services, you do not need to open and manage your own pre-paid account or contract and each message can be uniquely compiled using a mail merge program or other CRM software. And most importantly, you can use the sms.shoso.com SMS Relay service for low volume and ad hoc messages because you only get charged at the end of the month for the SMSs that you sent.
Uses for this service include the following:
- Send emails instead of SMS's - requires no cellphone or GSM modem.
- Save time by using a full keyboard to write your SMS's.
- Hide your identity by using our cellphone number for outgoing messages.
- Keeps a log of every SMS. Request the reports by
auto-responding email. (Just click Send - subject is ignored.)
- Use simple email messages in your own software to notify your customers.
- Reminders for appointments
- Notification of repairs that are ready for collection
- Birthday wishes
- Have your computer send confirmations of programmed tasks.
Terms:
- Normal (currently R0.80 incl. VAT) SMS rates are charged for originated SMS messages. Discounts for volume.
- Replies relayed back to you are free
- Detailed log reports by auto-responding email are free.
- No minimum nor unexpected charges, only outgoing SMS messages to South African cellphone numbers are counted.

- No pre-payment required for users of The Jewellery Shopkeeper.

Advice for SMS messages
Good messages are personalised and tell the recipient something that is of interest to him/her.
Bad messages are not personalised or tell the recipient that you are trying to induce him/her to spend money.
Good messages are carefully targeted to people who you are sure are interested in what you are saying or are trying to sell.
Good example: "Attn: Mr Goodmine: Ref. 6023, Replace watch glass on Roldx, is now ready. Bling Bling Jewellers, 055-555-5555"
Bad example: "Summer sale now on at Bling Bling Jewellers. 25% discount on everything. Tel: 055-555-5555"
Good Example: "Hi Mr Jonesey. Exquisite coloured diamond jewellery just arrived. Call George at Bling Bling Jewellers, 055-555-5555, to arrange a private viewing."
Another good example: "Dear Mrs Finstones, it is over two years since your jewellery was appraised for insurance purposes. We'll clean your jewellery free of charge with valuation."
Please don't be guilty of sending out SMS spam.
Just keep in mind that only 160 characters can be sent in a single SMS.
