With the holiday season officially in full swing, it is time to start implementing your Christmas SMSÂ strategy. Â One of the most effective methods for getting clients in your door is by using Christmas SMS messages.
To this day, SMS has been the go-to tactic for small business owners during high volume market seasons. This is due to the instant & personalised method of message delivery that comes with text message marketing.
In comparison to all other forms of marketing, SMS has by far the most successful open rates of them all: in-or-around 99%! That kind of open rate hasn’t been achieved with email since about 1990…
It’s a fact that the vast majority of your clients are going to open your Christmas SMS messages. But what are they going to read? What will drive them through your business doors over the next crucial weeks?
Well, our SMS experts here on the Phorest Grow Team have come up with the very best Christmas templates (including some golden-oldies) that you can use for a variety of different objectives. Whether it’s up-selling holiday gift cards or rewarding client loyalty, you will find your next Christmas SMS below:
