Solid video Steve. SMS is definitely effective and should be part of your 1st party data strategy. A direct channel to communicate with your customer is what gets you through bumps in the road like the iOS privacy updates.

[@restfulfaith6940]

Very thorough video!!

[@Retipster]

*Knowledge Bomb!* Great information, Steve. Thanks for putting this together!

[@LoveGuruGreg]

Love this! Thank you! Which platform/software do you use or recommend?

[@stevenbarrios805]

Thanks for the video, what are some apps for SMS messaging for Wix?

[@frankk3880]

Thanks for the video. With mobile provider becoming aware of spam, many are blocking SMS messages as spam so it goes to a spam folder. How do you combat that?

[@mywifequitherjob]

The solution is to segment your list so only interested parties receive the appropriate text.

@@mywifequitherjobHi can you please explain more

[@internetusers1]

I'm not sold on sms marketing just yet. I mean, the ROI mentioned in the video does not add the fact that a human has to respond/reply and nurture those on the SMS list. While email broadcasting... well, this takes zero additional effort or thinking required when adding a few more thousand emails (or tens of thousands) to the email list. Then again, each business is different and testing sms marketing is something I should consider anyway.

[@strausshou5372]

bro,sms messaging can play a huge role in attracting customers while increasing your sales. With 90% of messages read within 3 minutes, there is no better marketing channel to communicate with customers instantly. Even if the economy is not developed, you can not have a smartphone to receive your marketing text messages

[@searchbug]

Hey, Steve! Just wanna share that there is another way to send SMS for free. Businesses just need to get the SMS email of phone number and send it as a regular email. It will still be received as a regular text message then. A lot of businesses don't have an idea about this yet. Hopefully this helps to lower budget cost!

[@Rerunification]

how do you get the sms email of a phone number?

[@searchbug]

Hi does Postcript works well with privy ?

[@mywifequitherjob]

Privy was acquired by attentive. So I'm going to guess that the two tools don't play well together

[@julissalebron4934]

@@mywifequitherjob Thank you so much for the answer. One last question so is better to have postscript because it is based on the text you send and not the subscriber? I was looking at Klaviyo since it has both service but I see is based on subscribers.

are you going to get to the point? you don't give enough info.
