ABOUT THE COMPANY (Download PDF)
SUMOTEXT is short code application provider. Our clients leverage our SMS
gateway and campaign management tools to begin engaging their most
valued customers on their mobile device via text messaging.

Though we occasionally develop and host custom short code programs for select
clients, we remain dedicated to supporting and enhancing a self-service platform
that our clients access online to control text message marketing and alert
programs over short codes.

OUR SERVICE
Our online software service enables marketers to fully control keywords on short codes and configure highly interactive campaigns and message flows that identify, attract, profile, and reward their most valued customers.

Not just for marketers, organizational leaders also recognize that no other channel offers the immediate or ubiquitous reach of a text message alert. Our powerful keyword and group management controls streamline communications to increase attendance and participation while keeping dispersed groups of employees, stakeholders and volunteers organized, informed, and motivated.
