Businesses need to connect with their customers across websites, emails, social media, in-person, and more. When presented with so many options, it\u2019s sometimes hard to know where to focus resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SMS marketing platforms offer businesses a direct line of communication to a massive number of customers. A brand can speak directly to its audience and enjoy open rates that outpace other marketing channels. It improves the customer experience, provides promotional marketing for better conversions, and drives revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article will review everything you need to know about SMS marketing. We\u2019ll examine what it is, how it benefits your business, and best practices you can use to develop your own SMS strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group table-of-contents is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Table of contents<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#what\">What is SMS marketing?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#sms\">SMS vs. MMS: what\u2019s the difference?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#main\">Main types of SMS campaigns<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#benefit\">Benefits of SMS marketing<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#popular\">Popular strategies for SMS marketing for your business<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#6\">6 SMS marketing best practices<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#enhancing\">Enhancing your reach (and your revenue) with SMS marketing<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what\"><strong>What is SMS marketing?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Text message marketing (SMS) is a type of mobile marketing where businesses send text-only messages to subscribers. Businesses can communicate directly with prospective and current customers on promotional offers, important reminders, and delivery updates. Subscribers usually open text messages quickly and often. This makes SMS a perfect marketing tool for time-sensitive announcements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sms\"><strong>SMS vs. MMS: what\u2019s the difference?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Short Message Service (SMS)<\/strong> is another name for texting. It involves sending text-only messages to a phone. Each SMS must be less than 160 characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS)<\/strong> is a text sent <em>with<\/em> an accompanying attachment. The attached file can be a photo, GIF, video, etc. Each MMS can be up to 1,600 characters long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"main\"><strong>Main types of SMS campaigns<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SMS marketing campaigns typically fall into one of four main categories: promotional, transactional, conversational, and reminder. Each category has its own marketing goal, audience, and messaging.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Promotional SMS marketing&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Promotional SMS marketing generates interest in a specific product, service, or event (like a new store opening or a new product launch.) The goal is to prompt subscribers to take an action such as visit a store or buy a product.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of promotional SMS marketing campaigns include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Promotion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discount code&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flash sale<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Giveaway<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Transactional SMS marketing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Brands use transactional SMS messages in response to a specific trigger like an upcoming event, recent sale, or customer action. They are designed to provide a seamless and positive customer experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of transactional SMS marketing campaigns include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Welcome message<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Appointment reminder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Order confirmation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delivery notification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reviews or feedback request<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Password reset<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conversational SMS marketing&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversational SMS messages use a combination of automated responses and human agents to deliver a chat-like customer service via text message. Conversational SMS marketing might be more accessible for some customers, offering service on their preferred channel. By providing customer service via text, brands can address customer needs immediately while streamlining operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reminder SMS marketing&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reminder SMS marketing involves sending helpful reminders about upcoming appointments or events. These messages improve the customer experience with timely prompts. They improve attendance, which can mean more participants or more sales. By reducing no-shows and late arrivals, SMS marketing also lowers operational strain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Benefits of SMS marketing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Marketers have continued to invest in SMS marketing \u2013 and for good reason. Benefits of SMS marketing include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Direct access to customers and leads<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SMS marketing provides a more direct way to reach potential and current customers. Businesses can communicate directly with subscribers without fighting through SERP rankings, social media algorithms, and external factors found in other marketing channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Higher open rate and click-through rate (CTR)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smscomparison.com\/sms-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">average open rate<\/a> for SMS marketing is 98% with a click-through rate (CTR) of 9.18%. For comparison, email marketing sees an average open rate of 20% and a CTR of 2.5%.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Improved customer response<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When receiving communications from a business, customers are 134% <a href=\"https:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/2019\/12\/text-message-marketing-statistics.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more likely to reply<\/a> to a text message than an email. SMS gives businesses a chance to improve customer engagement \u2013 leading to more conversion and retention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Better access to customers and leads<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>90 % of mobile customers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilesquared.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">report opening a text message<\/a> within three minutes of receipt. This instantaneous communication makes SMS marketing the perfect tool for delivering time-sensitive offers and promotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Increased revenue<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Better access to customers, higher campaign performance, and improved customer experience all lead to more conversions, repeat sales, and (you guessed it) higher revenue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"popular\"><strong>Popular strategies for SMS marketing for your business<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use SMS marketing to deliver any number of campaigns: abandoned cart, re-engagement, and more.

Get consent before sending<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u2019t send SMS marketing without first getting permission from your recipients. You can gather subscriber opt-in through forms on your website, in-store signup, or through SMS keyword campaigns.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a subscriber has signed up to receive messages, you should send a confirmation text. This step isn\u2019t required, but it helps you remain compliant with data laws. It also ensures you are only sending messages to interested parties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To send a confirmation SMS, introduce your brand and thank the user for signing up. Allow them to confirm their opt-in by replying \u201cYes\u201d or \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Note: the opt-in feature isn\u2019t only for promotional messaging. Remember to get consent for other SMS messages like order confirmations, delivery updates, or appointment reminders.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Make it easy to unsubscribe<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Subscribers should always have the option to easily remove themselves from your SMS marketing campaigns. Popular unsubscribe options include a recipient simply replying to a text with \u201cUnsubscribe\u201d or \u201cStop\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Announce your brand right away<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When a customer first receives an SMS text from your brand, it will come from an unrecognized number. To ensure they don\u2019t immediately delete the message (or worse, mark it as spam), identify your brand right away in the message. Then, highlight your offer and give them the chance to confirm or unsubscribe to receiving SMS messages from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Keep messages under 160 characters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SMS messages are limited to 160 characters, so each letter counts. Keep your messaging brief, to the point, and provide links to explain additional details or pertinent information. Don\u2019t forget to use link shorteners to cut down on lengthy URLs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Time your messages<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SMS messaging offers one of the most direct ways to connect with consumers \u2013 <em>when done at the right time. <\/em>Sending an SMS message at the <em>wrong <\/em>time risks waking up a subscriber with a 2AM notification, interrupting a family dinner or sending the message late at night when the subscriber has already turned off their notifications. Make sure you\u2019re sending SMS messages when customers are most likely to read them. Segmenting your audience based on time zones will help deliver messages at the right times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Test, analyze, and optimize<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Always monitor campaign performance and adjust as necessary. Open rates and unsubscribe rates for SMS are typically higher than other marketing channels. Are you starting a new SMS marketing campaign? Measure your unsubscribe rates for an initial period of time. Use that period as your starting baseline when measuring future campaign performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"enhancing\"><strong>Enhancing your reach (and your revenue) with SMS marketing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With a whopping <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/218984\/number-of-global-mobile-users-since-2010\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">7.49 billion cell phone users<\/a> projected in the world by 2025, SMS marketing is an opportunity you don\u2019t want to miss.
