Platform

Everything a targeted send needs

From building the list to reading the results, the whole campaign lives in one place.

Audience builder

Stack filters for location, age, spend and behaviour until you have exactly the list you want to pay for.

High-delivery routes

Direct carrier connections keep messages out of filters and land them in seconds, not hours.

Live campaign metrics

Watch matches and delivery update while the send is still running.

Delivery receipts

Carrier receipts confirm exactly which numbers received each message, per recipient.

Reach forecasting

See how many phones match your filters and the expected delivery before you commit a single credit.

Compliance built in

Consent records, quiet hours and STOP keywords are enforced before a campaign can go out.

How it works

Four steps from idea to inbox

No agency, no setup calls. A campaign goes out the same day you create it.

01

Describe your audience

Pick the region, age band, interests and purchase behaviour you want to reach.

02

Write the message

Draft one SMS, personalise it with merge fields, and preview it exactly as it arrives.

03

Set the budget

See the matched audience size and the exact cost before you commit a single credit.

04

Send and measure

Launch the ad, follow delivery in real time, and export the results when it ends.

Audiences

Pay for the phones that will actually buy

Layer filters until the matched count and the price both make sense. Save the audience and reuse it for the next promotion.

  • Live audience size as you edit filters
  • Exclude anyone who bought in the last 7 days
  • Split an audience to test two messages
  • Save and reuse segments across campaigns

Case study · Lumo Boutique

One targeted send replaced four full-list blasts

Lumo used to text its entire 40,000-contact list every Friday. After moving to audience-based sends, it messaged 9,100 people who had bought fashion in the last 90 days — and made more money doing it.

Businesses sending smarter

We stopped blasting our whole list. One targeted send now brings more revenue than four generic ones did.

Setting the audience takes two minutes and I can see the cost before I spend anything. That changed how we plan promos.

Delivery is the part nobody talks about. Ours went from patchy to near perfect after we moved over.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Where does the audience data come from?

Audiences are built from consented subscriber data and your own uploaded lists. Every recipient has an opt-in record you can inspect.

How is pricing calculated?

Your plan covers a monthly message allowance. Anything above it is billed per delivered message, so undelivered sends never cost you.

Can I use my own sender name?

Yes. You can register a branded sender ID or a dedicated short code, and we handle the carrier approval for you.

Do you handle opt-outs?

STOP replies are processed instantly and removed from every audience across your account, permanently.
