What is a promotional text?
Promotional texts can include discounts, coupon codes, exclusive offers, personalized product recommendations, or simply an overview of your latest service or collection. Here are some examples of promotional texts to get your creative juices flowing.
There are a few things to bear in mind when sending promotional text campaigns. Firstly, you must be compliant — using a tool that ensures you’re on the right side of the law is critical. Secondly, promotional texts work best when they’re targeted to each customer. This involves segmenting your list based on their behavior, interests, and demographics so that you can send the right message at the right time.
Promotional texts are a great way to generate interest in your products and services, attract new customers with juicy deals, and increase your bottom line in the process. Adding SMS marketing to your existing strategy will help you reach new customers and add a new communication channel to your repertoire.
