SMS in marketing campaigns can be used to send whatever message intended for conversions. Whether you send some special offers and deals, coupons, loyalty program invitations, or notifications, you can use SMS to deliver these messages in a more direct way.
The advantages of using SMS for your campaigns
Using templates for your email campaigns is a good idea for the simple reason that they save you time. Using a template will speed up the process of sending your campaigns as you won’t have to design and compose the content of your emails over and over again. They also will help your brand to keep consistent as all of your emails will have the same design and structure. You can also categorize and segment your templates so you have a template for frequent use cases. Here are some frequent use cases your templates for:
Personalization
You can use a template to welcome your contacts when they subscribe to your lists. You only need to change the content a little to fit the style and category of each list on your database.
Real-time
A templated notification email will make that all of your notification emails remain with the same structure and design. You can use them for sending subscription notifications, password changes, purchase notifications, status of orders, among others.
Cost-effectiveness
You may host events very often in your business. Using a template for sending invitations will streamline the process of sending emails for each one. You can also categorize your event emails so each category would have a different look.
Fast response
You can send a templated email for each time you publish a new article or blog post. You can use multiple templates for each topic or category you have on your website. In this way, your newsletter will be consistent, and when recipients see the preview will recognize immediately what the email is about.
