Combining Voice Calls with SMS for Better Results

In a market where many of your potential customers may prefer voice communication over text, voice campaigns offer an opportunity to reach audiences that other channels miss. This is particularly true in Pakistan, where voice communication remains deeply ingrained in business culture.

Voice Campaign Scheduling

Timing is crucial for voice campaigns. Call during business hours when people are most likely to answer. Avoid early mornings, late evenings, and holidays. Connect Pulse allows you to schedule voice campaigns for optimal delivery times.

Combining Voice with SMS

A multi-channel approach that combines voice and SMS often delivers the best results. Send an SMS first, then follow up with a voice call for recipients who did not respond. This layered approach maximizes reach and engagement.

Text-to-Speech vs Pre-Recorded Audio

Modern voice platforms offer both text-to-speech (TTS) and pre-recorded audio options. TTS is faster to set up and easier to personalize — insert customer names, amounts, or dates dynamically. Pre-recorded audio, on the other hand, delivers a more natural and professional sound. For high-volume campaigns, consider recording the static parts professionally and using TTS only for dynamic data points.

Voice Campaign Compliance in Pakistan

Compliance with PTA guidelines is essential for voice campaigns. Respect quiet hours (avoid calling before 9 AM or after 9 PM), honor DND registrations, and always provide a clear opt-out mechanism like "Press 9 to stop receiving calls." Failure to comply can result in sender ID blacklisting and regulatory penalties.
