Short Codes Get New Lease with Redesigned Website

WASHINGTON – The Short Code Registry today announced the official relaunch of its website, USShortCodes.com.

Beyond the refreshed, modernized design, the Short Code Registry website’s enhanced navigation allows users to more easily access the information they need to execute a successful short code campaign:

      •    Find a Code: Search for available short codes or get one recommended for you.
      •    Campaign Types: Explore the full range of how short codes are used to engage audiences. 
      •    Case Studies: Read strategies and results of real-life campaigns.
      •    Partner Resources: View a directory of reputable agencies that can help bring short code campaigns to life. 

In addition to offering marketers a unique opportunity to engage their audiences via text messaging, short codes are the most universally trusted messaging option. Why?

Because customers opt-in to receive engagement from the five or six digit codes. They get what they expected — the interaction they asked for in a timely and convenient manner. The result? An open rate of 98%, versus 22% for email. 

Previously known as the Common Short Code Administration (CSCA), the Short Code Registry’s rebranding and website redesign go beyond aesthetic enhancements to reflect the evolution of mobile marketing and dynamic nature of digital campaigns. More tools, like case studies, have been added to make the site a true resource for those looking for a meaningful way to engage with consumers.

The Short Code Registry maintains a single database of available, reserved and registered codes. iconectiv became the official U.S. Short Code Registry service provider in January 2016, and the entire common short codes initiative is administered by CTIA.
