A text-to-join keyword is an easy way to build your list. This is a word or phrase customers can text to your phone number to opt-in to messages. But here’s the thing — just having a keyword isn’t enough.

We often see businesses make these two mistakes:

  • Not showing off their keyword. (If customers never see it, they won’t text it in.)
  • Forgetting the legal stuff. (Yep, there’s some important compliance language you need.)

“If you build it, they will come,” doesn’t apply to SMS marketing. You need to advertise your text list. And you need to do it in compliance with TCPA regulations, which means including important disclaimers alongside your calls to action. 

To help you do this, we put together these easy-to-edit Canva templates designed for SMS marketing.

How to use these templates

All you need is a free Canva account. Once you’ve opened an account, click on a template below, and follow these steps to make these templates your own:

  • Adjust the look: Match the templates to your brand by tweaking the colors and photos. Use Unsplash.com for free stock photos.
  • Add on your logo: Plan to print the template? Make sure you use a high-res version of your logo.
  • Pop in your keyword: Need help creating one? Follow our guide to setting up a keyword. It takes 30 seconds.
  • Update your phone number: Swap out the template number with yours. It’s in the top-left corner of your SimpleTexting dashboard.
  • Swap the incentive: Decide your offering to subscribers in exchange for their opt-in. Not sure? Start with a discount.
  • Add your privacy policy link: Add the terms of your SMS program to your website and add the link to the template.

We put together 5 unique template sets, each including:

  1. A square post for social media
  2. A social story
  3. A cover photo for Facebook
  4. A printable poster
  5. A sticker
