For marketers who want results, not vanity metrics

The Kenyan SMS marketing channel still has the highest read rate of any digital medium.

Email gets filtered. Social feeds get scrolled past. SMS gets opened — almost always within five minutes. Sozuri gives you the tools to use that attention responsibly: segmentation, personalisation, opt-out compliance and per-campaign reporting.

The journey

Saturday Saver, from brief to data — three scenes

1 Segment & write

Upload the CSV. Pick the cohort. Write the message in 160.

Jamii Grocers tags their customer list (basket size, last-visit, branch). Marketing chooses "lapsed 30+ days, baskets > KSh 1,500" and writes a single line with a code. Sozuri inserts the first name, computes parts, estimates cost.

  • CSV import with custom tag columns
  • Personalisation tokens (name, balance, branch, last visit)
  • Cost preview before send — per network, per part

Jamii Grocers: Habari Alice, your Westlands cohort is invited. 20% off Saturday with code TANO. Show at till.Fri 09:14
2 Send & respond

120,000 SMS delivered in 20 minutes. Replies stream into the dashboard.

The campaign sends at the pre-set cadence. Customers reply TANO to claim a personalised code; STOP to opt out. Both are handled in real time — the customer never feels the difference.

  • 100 TPS per project; 400 TPS platform aggregate
  • Keyword routing (TANO claims, STOP unsubscribes)
  • Two-way replies arrive on your webhook in <1s

3 Measure & iterate

Live dashboard shows delivery, claim, redemption, opt-out.

Marketing watches the funnel in real time — SMS delivered, codes claimed, codes redeemed at till, opt-outs. The team kills underperforming cohorts mid-campaign and doubles down on the ones that work.

  • Live counts: delivered / claimed / redeemed / opt-out
  • Per-cohort drilldown by segmentation tag
  • Cost-per-redemption visible in the same view
