You can create and send text messages within your FireText account from your company name, so customers will recognise you immediately. After all, that familiarity &#8211; mixed with the convenience and immediacy of a relevant message &#8211; is what keeps consumers engaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Key things to consider when sending texts from your company name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"pink\">There&#8217;s a word count<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Your name in the \u2018from\u2019 field must be 3-11 alphanumeric characters long. This is because your name replaces where a number would sit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can get creative here. For example, if your company name is \u2018Personal Computer Fixers Ltd&#8217;, you could change your sender ID to \u2018PCFixers\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"pink\">It&#8217;s perfect if you don&#8217;t need replies<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When sending from a name, you cannot receive replies, as there is no number for a recipient to reply to. If you did want to receive replies when sending from an SMS platform, you need to send from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/the-firetext-reply-number\/\">a reply number<\/a> to do this. To learn more about your different sender ID and call to action possibilities, head to our extensive blog about <a href=\"https:\/\/firetext.wpengine.com\/sms-sender-id\/\">SMS sender IDs.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something many companies do when sending from their name is <a href=\"https:\/\/help.firetext.co.uk\/hc\/en-gb\/articles\/360000060592-How-do-I-offer-an-opt-out-\">offer an opt-out<\/a> in the message. We can create an opt-out landing page, which you can include at the end of your message. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Opt-Out? www.sto.pm\/[Your Custom Opt-out]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"pink\">You have to send from your own company name<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Sounds a bit obvious, but it\u2019s important: Make sure you stick to sending from your company\u2019s name. If you\u2019re an agency working on behalf of a client, make sure you have permission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>It&#8217;s time to start texting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At FireText, we believe in supporting your SMS campaigns to help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/business-sms\">boost your business<\/a> &#8211; from giving you one-to-one advice to chatting through content ideas. <a href=\"https:\/\/app.firetext.co.uk\/signup\">Sign up here to get started<\/a> with the UK&#8217;s top-rated SMS platform and your account manager will be in touch!  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Use your company name in the \u2018from\u2019 field (AKA the sender ID) when texting your recipients from the FireText platform.
