What is Inbox Messaging?

Inbox is a business messaging platform that enables SMBs to truly own their customers and manage all their customer conversations across platforms streamlined into one place at any time in their customer journey. With Inbox, your client’s customers message the business rather than its employees. Rather than employees owning the relationship with customers, the ownership is transferred to the business. This means if an employee leaves the business, they won’t be able to take your client’s customers with them to a competitor; because you have their data kept in your database so you don’t lose it.

Why provide Inbox Messaging to your Clients?

SMS is a top method of business-to-customer communication; in fact, 85% of customers prefer receiving text messages over a phone call or email. With this new feature, your clients can communicate with their customers in their preferred method – and save time calling or sending emails to customers. 

Our usage data shows that SMS messaging users come back to the business center over 4x more when compared to those that are yet to adopt it. 

SMS Messaging will increase the number of times your SMB clients log in to the Business Center – in other words, daily active users in your Business Center will increase. This is important to your business because it deepens your partner solution as a necessary infrastructure for a business to operate, increasing stickiness and retention. Increased engagement leads to more opportunities to strengthen relationships and upsell.
