Why Does My eCommerce Stores Need SMS marketing?







SMS marketing, also known as text message marketing, is a highly effective way for businesses to reach and engage with their customers. One of the key benefits of SMS marketing is its high open rate, with an estimated 90-95% of text messages being opened by recipients. Additionally, most text messages are opened within just five minutes of being received, making SMS an excellent way to quickly deliver time-sensitive information.

SMS marketing also has a high click-through rate, with an estimated 20-30% of recipients clicking through to a business's website. This makes it an effective way to drive website traffic and increase conversions.

When it comes to return on investment (ROI), SMS marketing can be incredibly profitable for businesses. While the average ROI for SMS marketing can vary depending on a variety of factors, some businesses have reported returns of 100X or even 150X. Many business owners report that SMS marketing is their highest ROI channel. This is not just restricted to big brands, but also on 6-8 figure small businesses as well.

In general, it's quite common to achieve at least 50X ROI, which makes SMS marketing a highly cost-effective marketing channel.

Overall, SMS marketing is a powerful tool that can help businesses reach and engage with their customers, drive website traffic and conversions, and achieve a high return on investment.
