SMS Marketing

SMS marketing adds another element of communication to your marketing strategy – and it’s highly effective. 

Customers opt-in to receive SMS marketing, so you have the opportunity to reach them in a direct, personal channel with an open rate of more than 90%.

However, because the channel is so direct, you don’t want to go overboard with sending messages to customers and abuse the privilege of SMS.  

We identify opportunities to run SMS campaigns, and implement these within your current marketing strategy to get the best results. 

Whether it’s using SMS campaigns alongside email campaigns, or adding SMS campaigns into automated email flows to increase conversion rates. 

SMS marketing is a great tool to foster customer loyalty – giving those who opt into SMS benefits that other customers don’t receive. For example, giving customers early access to sales events and new product launches. 

By using a mix of message types, from email to SMS, we’re able to strengthen the relationship between your brand and its customers. 

We also create strategies to collect customer’s mobile numbers, whether it’s through a pop-up, incorporated into the footer of your automated emails, or in a dedicated campaign. We tailor these to suit your brand and get results.

What is SMS Marketing?

SMS marketing is a strategy that uses text messaging to communicate with customers in order to drive traffic to a website or store to sell products.

SMS marketing messages consist of 1-2 short sentences (160 characters) or with an emoji or gif if you’re feeling fancy. These messages get straight to the point. 

For example, SMS marketing can be used to alert customers that a sale has started, a new collection has launched, or that their discount is about to expire. 

SMS messages are a highly targeted way of reaching customers directly on their mobile device and encouraging them to make a purchase. 

It’s a highly effective way of communicating with customers, building loyalty, and increasing sales.

We devise strategies to incorporate SMS marketing into your current strategy, so SMS campaigns are only sent when appropriate. 

Your customers want to hear from you – that’s why they opt-in. We create content to deliver to them that’s worth writing home about. 

There are strict anti-spam laws when it comes to businesses sending SMS to their customers.  Starting with consent from recipients, clearly identifying the sender, to having the option to unsubscribe.

SMS MARKETING FAQs

SMS messages have extremely high read rates (97% within 15 minutes of delivery, according to Smart Insights). In terms of cost per message, the ROI is much greater than other forms of marketing.

SMS messages are short and to the point, whereas emails have the opportunity to include more content – such as images and product feeds.

Email marketing is an effective way to build brand recognition and relationships with customers, and SMS marketing enhances this relationship

SMS marketing requires customers to opt-in. Customers will need to provide their mobile number, then tick a box or click a button to opt-in to receiving SMS messages.

SMS campaigns are a once-off send. These messages are sent to customers who have opted-in to receive SMS marketing. However, the offers within the SMS campaign can have a timeframe – for example, offering 20% off for the next 24 hours.
