SMS Marketing Guide to Boost Your Ecommerce Sales

The world of sms marketing is transforming how ecommerce brands connect with customers. Short, timely messages land directly in your audience’s hands, driving engagement, boosting conversions, and delivering an average 34x ROI. With Postscript, you can grow your list faster, send personalized messages at scale, and make SMS your #1 revenue channel.

Why SMS Marketing is the Key to Ecommerce Growth

sms marketing reaches shoppers with 98% open rates and immediate visibility. Unlike email, text messages cut through the noise—no spam folders, no lengthy subject lines. Promotional alerts, back-in-stock notices, and order updates keep customers engaged at every stage of their journey. When done right, these real-time interactions drive repeat purchases and create loyal brand advocates.

Acquiring subscribers is the foundation of successful sms marketing. Postscript offers world-class tools to triple your list growth:

  • Checkout Collection: Add SMS opt-ins on Shopify, Recharge, Carthook, or custom checkout pages to capture high-intent subscribers at the point of sale.
  • Landing Page & Opt-In Form: Create standalone pages optimized for mobile and desktop to drive sign-ups from emails, social posts, or ads.
