How the Right Texting Method Drives Customer Engagement

MEF Leadership Forum 2023 Panel Session with iconectiv’s Matt Lear Discusses How Short Codes, 10DLC and Toll-Free Messaging Help Businesses Better Connect with Customers

What: With 98% of all text messages opened, it’s not surprising that businesses rely on it to boost customer engagement. However, with multiple methods of mass text messaging available, it can be difficult for businesses – weighing cost, delivery and engagement rates – to decide which method is best for them.

During a Mobile Ecosystem Forum (MEF) and Canadian Telecommunications Association 2023 panel discussion, iconectiv’s Matt Lear will join other industry experts to lay out the differences between short codes, 10-digit long codes (10DLC) and toll-free messaging, highlighting the benefits of each method for businesses across all industries, referencing several case study examples.

  • Matt Lear, Senior Director of Product Management, iconectiv
