			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SMS GupShup is an excellent way to reach your friends, family or target audience. Yet, even with all of this power, SMS GupShup users still disliked the lack of interactivity of the medium. Today we take a step towards solving this issue.</p>
<h3>Introducing Reply</h3>
<p>Wouldn&#8217;t it be great if group owners and members could talk to each other?</p>
<p>How would it be if members could tell the group owners what the liked and what they did not?</p>
<p>What if group members could just reply to a post, and the response comes back to the group owner?</p>
<p>Now all of this is possible on SMS GupShup, with the new <strong>Reply</strong> feature.</p>
<p>Members can just reply to group posts, like they reply to other SMS, by hitting ‘Reply’ on their mobile phones, and SMS GupShup takes care of the rest and sends the reply to the group owner.</p>
<h3>How does Reply help you</h3>
<p>When we asked a few of our group owners what do they need most on SMS GupShup, most of their answers boiled down to more interaction with group members.</p>
<p>Interactivity between group authors and members is key to a group&#8217;s growth. GupShup group members can tell the authors what they like, and what they would want more. The authors can tailor the content of their posts accordingly.</p>
<p>All of this leads to happier members, who in turn help the group to grow.</p>
<p>Talk to your members, interact with them, ask them to <strong>Reply</strong>.<br />
