1. Text marketing messages are personal
As a small business, your greatest strength is the personal communication you have with your customers. When customers come to your store, you smile and help them find what they are looking for, and you start to form an emotional connection with them. SMS marketing helps you sustain and strengthen this emotional bond.
Unlike other marketing tools like emails or social media, you send your messages directly to the customers' personal devices. Moreover, you can personalize your marketing messages by using customers’ names in your message. So, SMS marketing is the most personal way to stay connected with your customers after they leave your store.
