The Best Way to Send Holiday Messages to Customers
Holiday greeting cards are great. But for a lot of small businesses, it’s not very realistic. Sending a card to every customer would require searching through the database to find their name and address and then printing hundreds or even thousands of cards. It’s not only costly but a very time-consuming task at the busiest time of year for businesses. There is a better alternative.
Use text message marketing to send season’s greetings to your customers. Why?
Holiday Text Messages vs. Physical Greeting Cards
Firstly, text messaging is much quicker when you want to send a message to a lot of people. You don’t have to worry about buying enough cards, copying addresses, or stamping envelopes. You can make a base template of the message you want to share (we have 500 text templates for all occasions) and just switch out the name and any other relevant customer details. Plus, it sends the message instantly. You don’t have to worry about postage times!
Secondly, text marketing is the preferred communication channel for most customers. Text messages have a 98% open rate. So your effort will be rewarded because you know your customers are almost guaranteed to see your message of warm wishes.
Also, you can send more than one message very easily, reminding your customers that you exist and appreciate them multiple times throughout the holiday season which could very well lead to last-minute holiday purchases. You could send a holiday message for Thanksgiving, one for Christmas, and another for the new year.
Finally, don’t forget that text messaging is a two-way communication channel. So if they have any questions, they can text you back. You can deliver a high level of customer service even during the holidays, answering their questions about orders, holiday gift guides, and opening times.
There you have it. If you’re a small business or e-commerce company with a lot of customers you want to thank but not enough resources to send individual cards, try sending a text message. It will be a lot easier for you and just as impactful for them.
