why SMS is still the biggest lever you can pull
Hey!
Happy Tuesday back after Labour Day - Is anyone else feeling the fall weather coming?
2 things today
If you’re not on Tiktok shop and you want to be in time for Q4 and the holidays… I highly recommend booking a call with my team to see what it will take to get set-up (I would act sooner than later on this one)
SMS marketing…
I remember when SMS marketing hit the scene big in 2019 (maybe it was 2018 haha)
I wanted to try it out with our brand Little & Lively at the time but… our marketing team hated the idea of marketing texts being so intrusive…
We arm wrestled and I won.
It was huge for our brand!
We grew the list to 10’s of thousands and when we would run launches - it was obvious that SMS was a huge driver!
Fast forward to 2024 and I still don’t see that many brands leveraging SMS as a legitimate channel.
But here’s why you should…
