SMS marketing FAQ
What teams ask before they text.
How should SMS work with our email program?
Email can carry depth and visual storytelling; SMS is best for concise, timely action. We map both channels together to avoid collisions and unnecessary repetition.
Can you help with consent and compliance?
We design permission and messaging practices around applicable requirements, but legal counsel should review your final compliance program and jurisdiction-specific obligations.
What SMS journeys can you build?
Typical programs include welcome, cart recovery, post-purchase updates, replenishment, appointment reminders, rebooking, loyalty, reactivation, and win-back.
How do you measure SMS performance?
We look beyond clicks to conversion, repeat purchase, revenue per recipient, opt-out rate, customer experience, and incremental contribution where measurement permits.
