SMS Marketing Agency.
"No other channel reaches a customer as directly and immediately as SMS."
Your SMS marketing partner in Dubai.
SMS marketing delivers messages that are almost universally read within minutes of receipt. With a 98% open rate and no algorithm determining who sees your message, SMS is the most direct customer communication channel available to UAE businesses.
At Digital ROI, we manage SMS marketing campaigns for UAE businesses across promotional, transactional, and retention use cases. From bulk SMS broadcasts to personalised journey-based messaging, we build campaigns that drive measurable action at efficient cost per result.
SMS works best as part of an integrated marketing approach: reinforcing campaigns running on other channels, re-engaging lapsed customers, and delivering time-sensitive offers that need to be seen immediately.

Frequently
Asked Questions.
Your digital performance partner.
Yes, but it must comply with UAE Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) regulations and telecom operator policies. Key requirements include sending only to contacts who have given explicit consent, providing a clear opt-out mechanism in every message, and registering your sender ID. We manage compliance as a standard part of every SMS engagement.
A sender ID is the name or number that appears as the sender of your SMS messages. In the UAE, branded alpha sender IDs (e.g. your business name) must be registered with telecom operators. A registered sender ID increases message recognition and trust, improving open and response rates significantly versus an unregistered number.
Bulk SMS rates in the UAE typically range from AED 0.04 to AED 0.12 per message depending on volume and gateway provider. Campaign management fees vary based on campaign complexity and frequency. We provide transparent cost per send alongside expected response rates for each campaign type.
Consented lists are built through opt-in mechanisms on your website, at point of sale, through loyalty programmes, or via inbound leads who have indicated consent to receive marketing communications. We can advise on compliant list building strategies and help you grow a permission-based database.
Yes. SMS campaigns can be personalised with the recipient's name, relevant product references, account-specific information, or location-based offers using merge fields. Personalised messages consistently outperform generic broadcasts for engagement and conversion.
