Focus Your Message With Mobile Marketing
Using SMS text messaging for Mobile Marketing is an increasingly popular way for retailers to target a campaign, but it takes skill to keep your message focused and effective. Because text messages are limited, people are accustomed to seeing at a glance what is being said, so your message needs to be clear and concise. Here are some quick tips to keep in mind when creating a mobile marketing strategy:
- Utilize your CRM data to personalize messages and send coupons, etc. you know they will want.
- Stick to the point — one point, clearly stated, will be more effective than a confusing mass of features presented in a pile of words.
- Encourage an immediate response by offering a benefit for replying to your text.
- Make sure your messages are welcomed by carefully researching the times your customers want to hear from you.
- Use short sentences and start your message with a reason to keep reading the rest of it.
- Make it easy to buy your offer by linking to your website.
- Don’t just do sales pitches; mix it up by adding seasonal greetings or links to your latest blog post.
- Add value by offering “texting only” benefits for those who sign up, providing things like advance notice of sales.
- Let customers update their preferences by category of product, types of messages, and more.
