Messaging Types

In the previous article on Viber, we talked briefly about one-way and two-way messaging.

One-way messaging means businesses deliver direct messages to customers without having the ability to reply. This is great for:

  • Flight updates

  • Shipping status

  • Payment confirmations

  • Security alerts

  • Payment notifications

  • Promotional offers

Two-way messaging offers a dialogue with customers. Businesses can send messages to them or have them initiate a conversation with the business. Some examples of this include:

  • Customer service

  • Promotional offers and coupons

  • Respond to inquiry about promotion

  • Answer questions about ticket

  • NPS and customer satisfaction surveys
