SMS marketing campaigns deliver impressive open rates. In fact, nearly every text message that brands send gets opened. And when companies collect customer preferences and use this to power segmentation and personalization, text campaigns can offer strong engagement rates as well.
To encourage dependable engagement on an ongoing basis across segments, there's one type of campaign brands need: Time-sensitive messaging. Here are the three steps to take to get started.
Time-sensitive campaigns—such as announcements about new products, services, or content—offer a great opportunity to connect with your customers and foster regular activity. When the new products, services, or content are relevant to a given individual's preferences, interests, and behaviors, that is.
If you know someone loves classic rock, but hits skip every time today's pop hits come on, then it might actually hurt your efforts to send that individual an update about an upcoming pop album release. Pop fans, especially those who are subscribers of a given artist's station, on the other hand, will be thrilled to be among the first to know about this kind of information.
Deep links can further engagement by helping text subscribers navigate directly to the relevant section or page of your app, supporting a more seamless, impactful experience.
