Ash Mackay from In Touch Health is a massage therapist. He broke his leg and was out of action for 2 months. After sending 140 SMS messages (at an investment of $25) to let all his clients know he was back, the response rate was 25%. By purchasing just $110 in texts (and only using $30) the resulting business was over $2046.00. That’s $68 back for every $1 outlayed.
Kevin Nestadt, is a manufacturer with a large workforce. He used to phone the workmen’s phones. But the factory floor is noisy, so they would never be able to hear the phones. And as a result, would not be able to communicate specific data to the workforce. Now, with the shift to SMS, the message can contain specific data which is easy to read on a noisy and busy factory floor. In Kevin’s own words “It saves heaps of time and we estimate it saves us at least $500.00 per month in reduced wastage and improved productivity.
Gersh Blackman owns high fashion retail stores in Melbourne. He has 1500 contacts on his database. As a result of a recent SMS promotion, he generated $200 per sale from 15% of the database – a total of $45,000 in sales. George says “I’m still getting guys responding to the SMS campaign we did 3 weeks ago, and it only cost me $200. How’s that for a return on investment.”

We like to stay in contact with our vendors and buyers and keep them as up to date as possible. By pre setting an alert SMS with Inspirus during the week it allows us to send an auction reminder SMS to the interested parties on the day of the auction, as a result, informing as many as 100 interested buyers at once. The system is very user friendly and the team at Inspirus is always so helpful. We are promptly informed with changes and new innovations that keep the program up to date. With the Optout feature we are able to ensure those who do not wish to be contacted are removed from the data base with ease and speed.

It's fantastic, it's cheap, and saves us a lot of time - we don't need to spend hours on the phone reminding patients each day as we SMS them directly to their mobiles - Thanks, Inspirus
