A more engaging way to connect

Boost your response rate by sending feedback requests to your customer's phone. What’s more personal than a direct SMS? A well-time notification could be all the nudge they need.

What is SMS?


It’s a high-impact feature that delivers your review invitations directly to your customers' mobile phones via text message. With short, direct messaging and quick mobile-optimised links, customers can rate their experience in just a few taps while their purchase is fresh in their minds. 

Leverage the instant nature of text messaging to capture feedback while the experience is still fresh in the customer's mind. SMS messages are typically read within minutes of delivery, providing your business with a stream of immediate feedback and faster insight capture that allows you to react to customer sentiment in real-time.
SMS 1
Maximise the likelihood of a response by timing your messages to arrive when customers are most active and attentive. By scheduling personalised requests for optimal windows, such as shortly after delivery or during peak leisure hours, you meet customers where they are, resulting in a measurable uplift in total feedback volume and a more representative data set.
SMS 3
Deliver a tailored, one-to-one communication experience that feels more like a personal check-in than a generic survey. By customising text content to reflect the individual’s journey, you foster a sense of brand proximity that encourages higher participation, leading to improved insights and a 360-degree understanding of your diverse customer segments.

FAQs

In which countries does Feefo SMS work?

Feefo SMS is available for the UK, Ireland, USA, South Africa, and Australia. Note that the USA and Australia have specific registration and sender ID requirements to ensure messages are delivered successfully.

Is SMS GDPR-compliant?

Yes. Feefo SMS includes mandatory opt-out functionality and is designed as a transactional service. However, as the Data Controller, the merchant must ensure their Privacy Policy covers this and that they have a lawful basis for contacting the customer via their mobile number.

Can I use my own Sender ID?

Yes, in most regions you can set an 11-character name (e.g., "YourBrand"). However, the USA requires a specific fixed number (18889390796), and Australia requires manual registration of your ID with Feefo before use. Custom short codes are not supported.

How are SMS opt-outs handled?

Opt-outs are automated. Every SMS includes an opt-out link/instruction. Once a customer opts out, Feefo adds them to a suppression list and automatically blocks all future SMS requests to that number for that merchant.

What is the character limit for an SMS review request?

The limit is 160 characters. This includes your text, any personalisation tags, and the link to the feedback form. Exceeding this limit will result in the message being split and using more of your SMS allowance.
