Every year, the holiday season (November 1 - December 31) sees shoppers spend billions of dollars on gifts and celebrations. Take advantage of the frenzy by engaging your customers and as a result, boosting your bottom line.
Keen shoppers start at the beginning of November. But for the majority, it doesn’t kick off until the Black Friday and Cyber Monday, which makes up a big chunk of sales and revenue every year.
Many shoppers use their mobile devices to look for and purchase gifts, so use e-commerce SMS marketing as your secret weapon against your competitors. It has a 98% open rate, and you can bet your customers are interested in the deals you have to offer during this time to the year.
Whether or not you’re an experienced SMS marketer or someone that wants to give SMS a try, jump right into it with these SMS templates.
