Turn hesitant shoppers into raving fans
Getting shoppers to the first taste is the most important step. But after signing up to your SMS list, they might still need a bit of convincing.
Browse abandonment, cart abandonment, or welcome series automations are all opportunities to educate and nurture customers. To sweeten the deal, offer a sample box or a custom coupon.
Crush your product launch and sales targets
The almost-instantaneous open rates of SMS make it the perfect channel to announce your latest product launch or flash sale.
New flavor or seasonal item? Send a text to your most loyal customers first and give them exclusive early access.
