Here are a few tips to make your SMS Messages work like a charm:
- Place the main subject of your SMS as near to the beginning of the message as you can. This way, the customer can see immediately what the message is about.
- Promote the benefits of your product or service as opposed to highlighting the features.
- Grab the customers’ attention by using the right adjectives e.g. "romantic", "adventurous", “smouldering” or "exciting".
- Provide an additional incentive to your customers for spending their hard earned money with you such as “Extra 5% discount with every €50 spent in store today”
- Don't forget to include a clear call to action and keep it simple e.g. “Get your copy in store today while stocks last” or “Avail of 10% discount today (by text only)”. Make sure it is clear to your customers what you want them to do.
- If you can, you should include a timeframe in the message to create a sense of urgency.
