SMS (or Short Message Service) marketing, is using text-messaging capabilities to promote your products to people who may be interested in what you’re selling, or who have previously expressed interest in buying from you in the past.
We’re all familiar with Email Marketing. Well, SMS marketing is quite similar, except that you are promoting directly to a user’s mobile phone via text-message, where they have a 98% chance of seeing your promotion! SMS Marketing has an unprecedented open rate, an unbeatable click-through rate (meaning more people who see your message actually click on the promotion), and an incredible ROI ranging on average between 20-40x your investment.
SMS Marketing allows you to collect phone numbers from a customer at some point in their journey on your shop. You can entice people to subscribe by giving them a coupon, or by effortlessly collecting their number at checkout and asking if they’d like to be opted in. Once a phone number is collected, you can send either promotional, or transactional text messages with that customer. You can even have a one-on-one chat with them.
With BlazeSMS we allow you to incentivize shoppers to opt-in, by offering them unique coupon-codes which can be texted directly to them upon subscribing. We allow you to create desktop and mobile popups to prompt a shopper to subscribe, and we give a shopper the option to subscribe after checking out. The more people who are given a chance to subscribe, the larger your list of phone numbers will be to which you can market!
