In this newsletter, we will discuss how we have helped different businesses during COVID-19. If you would like to know how you can use Textlocal to connect with your customers, please reach out to us at sales@textlocal.in, and we’ll be happy to help. 

Tech Companies Share Critical Alerts
From SMBs to MNCs, a wide range of businesses such as Tech Mahindra, Intel, Schneider Electric and Nihilient depend on Textlocal to share OTPs (via Textlocal APIs) and authorize 2FA for VPNs, send forms and surveys to gather information about WFH options, and share critical system alerts. With the effect of COVID-19 waning, many businesses are also using Textlocal to promote their mobile apps & services, engage with their customers and foster new sales. 

Offline and Online Retailers Get Back to Business
To combat lean sales period and drive higher footfalls to in-person stores, retailers such as TTK Prestige, Furlenco, Happily Unmarried and Ruosh are using Textlocal to drive business by reconnecting with their customers, sharing back-to-business messages, sending safety measures and discount offers, and much more.

E-Commerce Businesses Expand their Customer Reach
With e-commerce experiencing a boom in business during COVID-19, businesses like Skechers, Cashify, Elle India and Meesho leveraged Textlocal to send login OTPs, order updates, abandoned cart notifications (via Textlocal APIs), and retarget lost customers by sharing price drop alerts, and upcoming sale/offers.

Hospitals & Diagnostic Labs Provide COVID-19 Related Information
Diagnostic labs and hospitals like Apollo, Yashoda Hospitals, Fernandez Hospitals, and DoctorC are actively promoting and offering their patients online consultations, informing them about COVID-19 test packages, and co-ordinating for their medical needs. Textlocal plays a key role here by helping them send appointment reminders timely, links to online consultations and webinars, and medical prescriptions (via attachments).
