Event detail image

SMS is one of the most engaged and highest ROI channels available to marketers, and yet many marketing organizations have yet to embrace this powerful channel. Lack of customer mobile contact information and permission or simply uncertainty about how to best use this channel are typical reasons preventing brands from leveraging SMS. However, not using this channel - or not deploying SMS effectively - means you may not be reaching many customers who increasingly prefer to receive communications on their mobile devices.

In this webinar, we will share case studies and use cases to help marketers understand how to get started with SMS and where this channel may best fit into their overall communications and marketing strategy. You will learn best practices and tips in areas including:

  • Approaches to building your SMS permission database
  • Leveraging automation to deliver behavior- and event-based messages
  • Integrating SMS as part of a broader omni-channel strategy
  • Copywriting approaches that minimize opt outs while increasing engagement and conversion
  • Using CRM and customer behavioral data to deliver highly targeted messages at the right time
