SMS is a powerful tool if you know what you’re doing. Here are a few tips on how to maximize your success:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Write A Clear Message<\/h3>\n

You only have 160 characters<\/a> to express yourself in a text. In other words, you want to keep your message short and concise.<\/p>\n

Do not use open-ended messages. For example, make sure to provide the reader with a specific date if you\u2019re inviting them to a sale. Customers are much more likely to act if you\u00a0give\u00a0them enough information.<\/p>\n

2. Include a Call to Action\u00a0<\/h3>\n

A call to action\u00a0is a prompt that persuades users to take a specified action. Put it this way, it\u2019s the thing that leads to conversions.<\/p>\n

3. Create A Sense of Urgency<\/h3>\n

Creating a sense of urgency can increase the odds that a recipient will react to your message. Offering a discount coupon?<\/p>\n

Make sure to include an expiration date. That will inspire your readers to take action in a timely manner.<\/p>\n

The more time you give them, the greater the chance that they\u2019ll talk themselves out of it. Just something to keep in mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n

4. Timing Matters\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Timing matters when it comes to text messages. Ask yourself\u2014\u201cwhen are people most likely to be on their phones?\u201d<\/p>\n
