As a result, a text message will never look as elegant as an email.\n \nBut the interesting thing about SMS marketing is that people perceive a text message as being something important \u2013 at least as something more important than reading an email. Therefore, huge amounts of people open a text message within 5 minutes of receiving it.\n \nBut for this very reason, it is also extremely important to use SMS marketing wisely. Sending too many text messages, too often, will appear frivolous and very annoying to the recipient. Remember, you\u2019re taking up the recipient\u2019s valuable time with every message you send, so you have to consider very carefully both the frequency and the content of the messages, which must always be well-targeted and as relevant as possible.\n\nFor physical stores, SMS marketing also offers many exciting opportunities. For example, you can use text messages to send information about special events in local stores, and you can send behavioural texts that support email campaign send-outs. For example, if we assume that you have sent out a newsletter on a Thursday regarding a physical store\u2019s offer, you can follow up with a text message the following day. Furthermore, the content of the text message can be adapted to reflect the behaviour a contact has shown in their interaction with the newsletter of the previous day.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SMS Marketing At MarketingPlatform you have the opportunity to send messages to your customers, and via our SMS editor you can customize the content of the SMS messages in order to get the best possible response.Although many today think of SMS marketing as an outdated concept or an outdated channel, many studies actually show the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[12054,12040,12046,12038,12052,12047,1438,12045,12042,6299],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marketingplatform.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/87"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marketingplatform.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marketingplatform.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marketingplatform.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/50"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marketingplatform.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/marketingplatform.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/87\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":67996,"href":"https:\/\/marketingplatform.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/87\/revisions\/67996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marketingplatform.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marketingplatform.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marketingplatform.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marketingplatform.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=87"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
