The countdown for Black Friday is on. Are you ready to elevate your communications?
In a world where everyone is competing for customer attention, standing out is becoming more challenging than ever. At TextAnywhere we are aiming to provide you with ammunition to boost sales over the peak trading period.
In the run up to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, consumers get bombarded with emails and ads about Black Friday deals. Most of these will be ignored or unopened, leaving the revenue they could generate disregarded.
SMS marketing is the way for your business to cut through the noise. SMS has an 97% open rate, compared to 21% for emails, meaning SMS are hardly ever ignored. Using SMS this Black Friday will enable you to reach your customers effectively, quickly and directly, leaving all your competitors’ deals ignored in the email inbox.
