Create More Engaging Messages by Adding Images and Other Attachments

Whether you’re promoting a product or service, communicating with your staff, or any number of other text message use cases, texting is arguably the best way to engage with your audience. People read almost all of their text messages, typically within minutes of receiving them. Take advantage of that opportunity by sending more engaging messages. One way to send more engaging messages is to add images or other content to your text.

This article will focus on adding various types of attachments to your messages, such as images or video.

Adding Images, Video, and Other Attachment Types to Your Messages

You can add attachments to the text messages you send to your audience, including images, videos, documents, and vCards. While attachments consume more messaging credits, they can be worth it with the level of engagement you get from your audience. 

1. Follow the instructions to create and send a campaign.
2. When crafting your message, click the Paperclip icon at the bottom of the message field. Browse your computer for the file you want to attach, select it, and click Open. Or, you can drag and drop a file directly into the message field. A message can contain only one attachment at a time. SlickText supports many file types, including:
   • PNG
   • JPG
   • JPEG
   • GIF
   • PDF
   • VCF
   • MP3
   • MP4
3. When your message is ready, click the Review button in the lower right corner. You’ll notice that attachments consume more message credits.
4. Send or Save like you normally would.
