A classic SMS campaign is activated by sending thousands of messages to let customers (or a target of people selected from a database) know that there is an ongoing promotion or special event. If the promotion is interesting and the target is the right one, there will probably be many phone calls and/or emails from customers interested in finding out more, so it would not be easy to manage the situation. We will simply have to wait to understand how many people will purchase the product or how many will participate in the event but, in any case, the doubt would remain as to how many customers arrived thanks to SMS or other promotional channels.
