Automated Text (SMS) Marketing
Text messaging is one of the fastest ways to reach someone, and speed matters. Automated SMS marketing sends the right text at the right moment: right after an inquiry, before an appointment, when someone abandons a form, or when it’s time to follow up. Every message goes to people who’ve given you permission to text them.
Good opportunities have a short shelf life. In one study of online leads, companies that contacted a lead within an hour were nearly seven times more likely to have a real conversation with a decision maker than companies that waited longer. Nearly a quarter of the companies studied never responded at all (Harvard Business Review, 2011).
What does slow follow-up cost?
An illustration, not a promise: if you get 30 inquiries a month and lose 10 of them because nobody got back to them fast enough, at an average first sale of $500, that’s about $60,000 a year walking out the door.
What do we build?
Instant replies to new inquiries, appointment reminders, nudges for people who started a form and didn’t finish, follow-ups after a consultation, and timely offers for past clients. You reach people while they’re still interested, not after they’ve moved on to someone else.
