Promotional voice calls: your offer, in a human voice
A promotional voice call plays a recorded offer or announcement to thousands of phone numbers in one campaign. Listeners can press a key to show interest, ask for a callback or opt out, so the campaign produces leads as well as awareness. SMSNiti runs the campaign from a panel or API, retries unanswered calls and gives you a report on every number.
Our campaign panel operates from 10 AM to 9 PM.

Overview
What is a promotional voice call?
A promotional voice call is an automated outbound call that plays a recorded marketing message when the person answers. It can announce a sale, a launch, an event or a new service. Unlike SMS, it speaks to the listener, which suits audiences who prefer to listen, speak regional languages or rarely read text messages.
Short answer: A promotional voice call plays a recorded offer to many phone numbers at once. Listeners can press a key to respond, and you get a report of who answered and what they chose.
Why add a key press
A voice message without a response is only an announcement. Adding "Press 1 to get a callback" or "Press 2 to stop calls" turns it into lead capture and respects the listener's choice.
Consent and timing
Promotional calls follow Do Not Disturb and consent rules and are allowed only during permitted hours. We schedule campaigns inside the window and explain what applies before the first send.

-
Speak their language: Record in the language your audience uses at home.
-
Clear key press: Say the instruction slowly: "Press 1 to get a call back".
-
Offer an opt-out: Give a key to stop future calls and honour it.
