So, you’ve got a great SMS marketing campaign idea, and you’re all set to hit send, but do you even know who your SMSes are going to? Is your database a list of interested customers, or are you taking a shot in the dark and hoping the right message gets to the right people—or even gets through at all?
To build an SMS database effectively, you must provide customers with a compelling reason to want to receive your messages. The key is to offer value through special offers, product updates, discount codes, event invitations, daily tips, or other relevant and engaging content.
Leverage your email marketing efforts to convert subscribers into SMS opt-ins. Include a shortcode with a unique keyword or a dedicated number in your email signature. Alternatively, run an email campaign encouraging customers to opt-in to receive SMS messages from you.
Promote your SMS database on your social media channels regularly. Share your dedicated number and encourage followers to opt in by sending a simple SMS.
Utilize your website as a platform to capture SMS subscribers. Consider using pop-ups or integrating an opt-in checkbox into the checkout process, especially if you run an e-commerce platform.
While traditional media advertising can be expensive, it can still be an effective way to gain subscribers. Include clear instructions on how and where customers can opt-in to your SMS database in your advertisements.
Regardless of the method you choose, always ensure you provide customers with a compelling reason to opt-in to receive your SMS messages. Once you have their mobile numbers, prioritize delivering valuable and relevant content while adhering to best practices for SMS communication.
