Text Message Marketing Strategies to Boost Your Sales
In today’s fast-moving ecommerce world, text message marketing has become one of the most direct and effective ways to reach customers. With open rates north of 98% and response rates far above email, SMS campaigns can drive real, measurable revenue in hours rather than days. If you’re ready to make SMS your #1 revenue channel, Postscript provides the tools you need to grow your audience, automate personalized messages at scale, and unlock deep insights with AI—all in one specialized platform.
Why text message marketing Matters for Ecommerce
Consumers check their phones dozens of times each day, and a targeted SMS can cut through the noise and drive immediate action—whether it’s a flash sale announcement, a back-in-stock alert, or a post-purchase thank-you. Unlike email, SMS is conversational-first: your brand can reply in real time, answer questions, and build trust without ever leaving the thread.
Essential SMS Strategies to Boost Sales
1. Grow Your Subscriber List Rapidly
You can’t sell via SMS unless people opt in. Postscript’s suite of acquisition tools helps Shopify brands expand lists up to 3X faster:
- Desktop & mobile popups with on-site opt-in: Collect numbers without driving visitors off-site.
- Text-to-join keywords: Share unique keywords across emails, social posts, and ads to track campaign performance.
- Checkout collection: Seamlessly add SMS opt-ins at Shopify, Shopify Plus, Recharge, Carthook, or any integrated checkout.
- QR codes & landing pages: Turn physical packaging, signage, or email links into new subscribers.
2. Segment and Personalize for Maximum Impact
One-size-fits-all messages underperform. Postscript lets you segment subscribers using over 45 filters—Shopify purchase history, location, SMS activity, even specific products viewed. By targeting the right audience with tailored offers, you’ll see higher engagement and conversions.
3. Automate Triggered Campaigns
Automations free up time while capturing revenue around the clock. Postscript supports more than 65 trigger events, including:
- Welcome series for new subscribers
- Abandoned cart reminders
- Back-in-stock and price-drop alerts
- Post-purchase follow-ups and review requests
Combine these with over 85 filters—line items, order subtotals, discount levels, and more—to create highly contextual flows that feel one-to-one.
