VIP/Loyalty

Drive SMS list growth through offers and incentives. You can use promotional and non-promotional offers to encourage consumers sign-up for your SMS marketing program. Offering discounts is the most effective way to encourage consumers to sign-up for texts from your brand. If you’re unable to offer discounts or similar incentives, consider highlighting a loyalty or rewards program, or hint at exclusive first access to content and products.

One crucial audience brands can’t afford to miss during the holiday season is brand loyalists. Rewarding brand loyalists is a great opportunity for brands to drive increased revenue during the holidays with exclusive “VIP” discounts and early access to new products. Loyalists have higher conversion rates and yield higher ROI.

Abandoned cart

During the holidays, as shoppers search for the best deals possible, they’ll inevitably leave items in their online shopping carts. Triggered abandoned cart reminders can help you recover otherwise lost revenue with a well-timed reminder, linking shoppers directly back to their carts to complete their purchase.

Non-Promotional

The holidays aren’t just about sales and discounts. Bring in-store and product discovery to your consumers mobile device with non-promotional holiday SMS campaigns such as gift guides, e-gift cards, and new product and back-in-stock announcements.

Conversational

Creating two-way conversational text messaging campaigns helps you drive engagement. You can use these automated interactions to learn more about your audience’s preferences, and give them personalized offers and recommendations in return. You can also use two-way triggered messaging to delight your customers with holiday-themed, gamified experiences.

Explore these 36 best-in-class text messaging examples, selected from 
Texts We Love, from leading retail and e-commerce brands to see how 
they use SMS marketing to boost engagement and drive revenue during the holiday season.

If you’re unable to offer discounts or similar incentives, consider highlighting a loyalty or rewards program, or hint at exclusive first access to content and products.

During the holiday season, many shoppers expect deals and discounts. Even if your brand doesn’t normally discount, the holidays are an opportunity to share special offers and perks without diluting your brand. One effective strategy is sending a “days of deals” campaign to your SMS subscribers, offering a new deal each day. Not only does this create excitement around each new deal, but it will also help drive repeat visits to your website or store.
