How Can Text Blasts Help You?
Send out Special Offers to Your Subscribers
75% of consumers want to receive texts with special offers. That means that 3 out of 4 of all consumers would like to see special offers, discounts, and coupons delivered to their smartphones via SMS! One strategy we recommend to take advantage of this trend is to use an urgent call-to-action such as a listing price alert.
Inform Subscribers About Important Dates or Events
Overall, text messages enjoy an open rate of well over 98%, so even if they don’t reply, you can be sure that your messages will be received and opened. In contrast, email is the next best marketing channel and it has an average open rate of just 20% overall. There really is no better way to keep people informed about your business!
Grow Your Audience
If you need helping creating a subscriber list to blast, don’t worry! With Texting.io, growing your subscribers has never been easier. You can embed our custom form on your website to collect customer data, as well as use our keyword autoresponders to get them to text you first.
