Application-to-Person (A2P) is any form of message traffic in which a person receives messages from an application rather than another individual. A2P SMS empowers brands to both single send and automate drip workflow text messages from a platform like Voyage SMS.
The Voyage SMS platform goes where other A2P SMS solutions can’t. The three core tenets of our best-in-class A2P Messaging solution are proven to deliver customer lifetime value (CLV). Here’s how great A2P works:

Person-to-Person messaging (P2P) is when two or more people communicate over text messaging. P2P SMS must be sent by humans. When done right, P2P SMS is all about converting opportunities. LiveRecover by Voyage is texting that comes from live agents who deliver meaningful conversations that delight and drive eCommerce customers to action and advocacy.
When looking for a P2P SMS solution, it’s important to keep your standards high and these questions in mind:
You’ll know when your customers feel like royalty because they’ll convert at scale. Making connections with live agents (aka your brand ambassadors) reduces support tickets, improves the customer experience, increases customer satisfaction, and drives engagement, which (you guessed it…) converts!
The hub for your live agents starts with the Knowledge Base. LiveRecover by Voyage gives your live agents a single place to know how to talk to your customers, without intervention from your team.
When you fill your Knowledge Base with product and company FAQs, live agents can easily relay company policy in brand voice – think: return policy or shipping questions, as well as deliver those intrinsic values – like the feel of a piece or how sizes will fit.
With LiveRecover by Voyage, you can create and launch custom automated workflows for your live agents. Perhaps you only want your brand ambassadors to reach out to first-time customers, or focus their time on carts that have more than $100 in value.
With workflows, LiveRecover gives you powerful segmentation tools that mean you can talk to specific customers and focus on the specific cart information that you know matter. These automated workflows guide the live agent with your goals and messaging along the path to conversion.

It’s no surprise that 74% of customers would rather interact with a person than a chatbot or automated text.
Customers want to feel heard and get fast, personalized help. Customer service and cart abandonment are two critical areas where P2P SMS can be extremely influential and improve CLV. But it’s also where brands can harm the customer experience with imitation P2P messaging.
Chatbots, SMS bots, and so-called “concierge” offerings try to claim P2P messaging offerings, however, not only do these imitation tools miss the mark, they also generate unnecessary revenue risk.
Chatbots, SMS bots, and concierge offerings have lax compliance. Whereas LiveRecover’s P2P SMS adheres to strict compliance to protect your brand from tarnishing its name. Additionally, other SMS providers that use human-in-the-loop communications only connect with customers who have opted into A2P messaging. Even with established chatbots and imitation P2P, LiveRecover by Voyage can help with incremental coverage because of its full P2P compliance and capabilities.
