How to combine sms marketing and email campaigns for maximum engagement?

When used together, SMS and email marketing can create a dynamic duo that supercharges your marketing efforts and maximises customer engagement. Here's how to combine these channels for optimal results:

• Start with SMS: SMS boasts phenomenal open rates, making it ideal for grabbing immediate attention and driving action.
• Follow up with Email: After an initial SMS notification, send a more detailed email with additional information, images, or CTAs.
  
• Segment Your Audience: Don't blast the same message to everyone. This personalisation ensures your messages are relevant and resonate with each recipient.
  
• Offer Exclusive Deals: Create a sense of exclusivity by providing early access to promotions through SMS. This incentivises users to opt-in for SMS updates.
  
• Track and Analyse Results: Monitor the performance of both your campaigns to see what works best for your audience and refine your strategy accordingly.
