Why text message marketing matters for ecommerce

SMS open rates hover around 98%, dwarfing email’s single-digit averages. With most people reading texts within minutes, text message marketing gives you an unmatched edge in driving flash-sale urgency, sending back-in-stock alerts, or reengaging lapsed shoppers. The channel is inherently conversational, fostering loyalty and repeat purchases with direct one-to-one interactions.

Tip 1: Grow your subscriber list lightning fast

Building a robust SMS list is step one. Postscript’s acquisition toolkit supercharges growth:

• Desktop & mobile popups: Use customizable incentives to turn site visitors into subscribers without disrupting their browsing experience.
• Checkout collection: Seamlessly capture phone numbers on Shopify or any integrated checkout, adding high-intent shoppers to your list.
• Keywords & QR codes: Promote text-to-join keywords across ads and social, and place QR codes on packaging or signage to convert in-person interactions.

Tip 2: Segment & personalize for maximum engagement

Not every subscriber is the same. With Postscript’s advanced segmentation—45+ filters including purchase history, location, and activity—you can:

• Trigger cart-abandonment flows only for those who left items behind.
• Send VIP offers to customers who’ve spent over a certain threshold.
• Deliver regional promotions based on area codes.

Personalization prevents opt-outs and drives a typical 34× ROI on every campaign.

Tip 3: Automate timely, relevant messages

Automation is the engine of smart text message marketing. Choose from 65+ trigger events:

• Welcome series for new subscribers
• Abandoned cart reminders
• Back-in-stock alerts when inventory returns
• Shipping notifications and order updates

Each flow can branch based on subscriber replies or behaviors, creating a conversational journey that feels human yet runs on autopilot.

Tip 4: Harness AI to optimize campaigns

Postscript AI learns your brand voice and tests hundreds of message variants in seconds. The result? An average 20% revenue lift on your highest-impact flows. With AI-powered targeting, you can:

• Automatically surface the best subject lines and CTAs.
• Proactively reengage customers with relevant product recommendations.
• Continuously refine messaging based on real-time performance data.

Tip 5: Turn two-way conversations into sales

Unlike one-way blast tools, Postscript’s Flow Builder lets you set up interactive message sequences. When customers reply—whether asking a question, requesting returns info, or seeking upsells—you can:

• Send automated follow-ups based on sentiment and topic.
• Route complex inquiries to your support team via Slack, email, or help-desk integrations.
• Use AI to triage and prioritize high-value conversations.

Tip 6: Analyze and iterate for continuous improvement

Data drives growth. Postscript’s SMS-first analytics dashboard shows you:

• Subscriber growth trends
• Campaign performance and click-through rates
• Revenue attributed to every message

By reviewing these insights, you can refine your segmentation, messaging frequency, and incentive offers to skyrocket results.

Bonus Tip: Stay compliant and protected

SMS regulations are strict. Postscript sets the gold standard in compliance with built-in opt-in management, carrier-approved messaging, and legal expertise. That means you avoid costly fines while building subscriber trust.
