The Power of SMS: How to Drive More Sales with Text Messaging

Who knew the little texts we send could do so much for business? SMS has come a long way since its 80s debut and now it’s a total powerhouse for companies big and small to reach out to customers and rack up those sales. 

Ready to unlock its full potential? Here’s how.

Personalisation

SMS allows you to personalise your messages in a way that email and other forms of communication can’t match. You can use the recipient’s name, location, and other information to make the message more relevant and engaging. This can help increase the chances of the message being read and acted upon.

Timing

SMS allows you to send messages at the right time, when your customers are most likely to be available and engaged. For example, you might send a message during lunchtime to remind customers about a special offer, or send a message in the evening to remind them about an event.

Opt-in

SMS allows you to build a permission-based list of customers who have opted-in to receive messages from your business. This ensures that your messages are reaching people who are genuinely interested in your products or services, which increases the chances of them taking action.

Brevity

SMS messages are limited to 160 characters, so it’s important to keep your messages short and to the point. This can help increase the chances of your message being read and acted upon, as well as reducing the likelihood of it being ignored.

Automation

With SMS, you can automate your messages to be sent at specific times or in response to specific actions. For example, you can set up an automated message to be sent to customers who haven’t made a purchase in a while, or to those who have abandoned their shopping cart.

Integration

SMS can be integrated with other platforms, such as your CRM or e-commerce platform, to make it even more powerful. For example, you can use SMS to send personalised product recommendations to customers based on their purchase history, or to send them their tracking information after they have made a purchase.

Measure

SMS allows you to measure the effectiveness of your messages. You can track the open and click-through rates, as well as the conversion rates, to see how your messages are performing and make adjustments as needed.

SMS is the secret weapon for businesses to make a lasting connection with their customers! This nifty tool allows businesses to target when, what and how they communicate- making it as personalised or mass broadcasted as needed. And don’t forget automation can help keep everything running smoothly! 

Even more exciting? Tracking your success becomes easy with SMS integration into other platforms. So why not level up your marketing strategy today by adding SMS?
