This article outlines tips and guidelines on how to create a successful campaign
Call to Action
Call to Action (CTA) informs the customers how to opt-in or give their consent
Example CTA
Below is an example CTA with all the complete information to get verified
Customers can opt-in by visiting www.examplewebsite.com and adding their phone number.
They then check a box agreeing to receive text messages from the Example Company.
Also, consumers can opt-in by replying START to 9xx-xxx-xxxx.
Things to take note of
- If the company has placed an option requesting for the customer's phone number, a disclosure should be made on the website.
- Example disclosure: By entering your phone number and submitting this form, you agree to receive SMS text messages from us. Standard message and data rates may apply. To stop receiving messages, reply with STOP.
- The website link should be included in the CTA if the phone numbers are collected over the website
- Opt-in keywords should follow what is stated in the campaign
- Example: OPTIN, START, YES
Sole Proprietor Campaign
Since not all carriers accept these campaign types, they will be automatically rejected. This will result in a fee being charged, and you’ll need to resubmit them later. Therefore, please refrain from submitting any new Sole Proprietor campaigns until further notice.
Lack of a Website or Online Presence
Ensure you include any website or online presence the customer has, such as a social media page, provided our aggregator can access it and verify the business’s identity. If their website contains prohibited content, the campaign will be rejected.
Privacy Policy
All message senders must have an acceptable Privacy Policy when registering for 10DLC campaigns. The Privacy Policy must clearly explain how consumer data will be used and shared (if applicable) and provide information on how consumers can contact the message sender.
Consent: Privacy Policies are reviewed during vetting to ensure consumer data is not transferred between various organizations. To meet these requirements, we recommend including a process in the Privacy Policy that shows senders will refrain from sharing consumer data.
Example: "Mobile information will not be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties."
Opt-out instructions: The Privacy Policy must also include instructions on how to opt out of future communications.
Example: “If you wish to be removed from receiving future communications, you can opt-out by texting STOP, QUIT, END, REVOKE, OPT-OUT, CANCEL, or UNSUBSCRIBE.”
SHAFT-C Content
The following types of content are prohibited on 10DLC: CBD, Cannabis, Sex, Hate, Alcohol*, Firearms, and Tobacco*. It’s also not allowed to be on the customer's website at all.
