Other tips to for effective SMS marketing<\/strong><\/p>\nKeep the message simple: You have a limited number of characters in your message \u2013 160 to be exact. Don\u2019t confuse your customers by trying to convey more than one point. Focus on one message per SMS and make it compelling.<\/p>\n
Use action words and short sentences: A verb at the beginning of your message makes the copy lively and inspires action. Use words like: buy, save or spend. Also keep your sentences short so your readers can quickly grasp your message and respond. Don\u2019t lose your readers with highly descriptive copy.<\/p>\n
Link to your site: Use your space to direct customers back to a landing site that offers more information about your promotion or to content on your website. You also want to direct customers to your social media pages.<\/p>\n
Integrate with other marketing campaigns: Promote your SMS service on your social media sites and prominently on your website to alert visitors to sign up.<\/p>\n
Be mindful of when you text: Avoid sending messages late at night out of consideration to your customers. Mid to late afternoon is considered the most effective time to send SMS when folks are wrapping up their work for the day. And if your customers are in different time zones, be extra careful about your timing.<\/p>\n
Before you send out your message, send it to your mobile phone first to make sure how it comes across on the small screen. If you don\u2019t like what you see, revise and retest until you are satisfied.<\/p>\n
