In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, maintaining effective communication with customers is paramount. With the rise of mobile usage, SMS (Short Message Service) has emerged as a powerful tool for businesses aiming to connect with their audiences. Utilizing SMS through your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system can enhance customer engagement, streamline communication, and ultimately drive growth. Here, we’ll explore best practices for sending SMS via your CRM, and how Ancoia can elevate your communication strategy to new heights.

Understanding the Value of SMS in CRM

SMS marketing offers a direct and immediate way to reach customers, boasting a staggering open rate of approximately 98%. This level of engagement allows businesses to share important updates, promotional offers, and personalized messages effectively. Here’s how to make the most of SMS through your CRM:

1. Segment Your Audience

Before sending out messages, it’s crucial to segment your audience based on demographics, purchase history, and preferences. This ensures that your SMS campaigns are targeted and relevant. With Ancoia, you can effortlessly manage your customer segments, making it easy to tailor messages that resonate with different groups.

2. Personalization is Key

Personalized messages are more likely to engage customers. Use your CRM data to include the recipient’s name or their recent purchases in your messages. Ancoia’s advanced CRM features allow you to automate personalization at scale, ensuring that each SMS feels custom-tailored for the recipient.

3. Timing Matters

The timing of your messages can significantly impact engagement rates. Analyze customer behavior patterns within your CRM to identify the best times to send SMS. Ancoia can help you track and analyze customer interactions, enabling you to choose optimal sending times that increase the likelihood of your messages being opened.

4. Keep it Brief and Action-Oriented

SMS messages should be concise and straight to the point. Aim for clarity and include a clear call-to-action (CTA) that encourages recipients to take action right away. Whether it’s directing them to your website, promoting an event, or providing a discount code, Ancoia’s SMS tools can help you design effective CTAs.
