Lost carts are one of the major lost opportunities for any online business. Get buyers to come back by sending a text message. You know they are already interested, so it is one of the easiest sales you will ever make.

"Hi, Javi87. We want to let you know that you have not completed your purchase of the BDD98. We just wanted to remind you that you can still place the same order within 48 hours, or ask us any questions you have using this link. See you soon!"

  • Manage repeating orders.

The possibility of automated SMS message mailings makes it a convenient, simple, very powerful tool. You can also insert custom fields (date, customer name, shipping number, etc.), so they are perfect for repeat orders.

"Hi, Alejandra. Do you still have water left in your office? You usually place an order every 15 days, so we'll send you the next one on May 3 unless you tell us otherwise. Have a good day!"

  • Send temporary promotions.

The immediacy of text messaging makes it great for sending out temporary promotions. Only your segmented audience will receive the offer, which may last days, hours or minutes.

"We are celebrating Monday with free coffee! Head over to one of our stores, and start the week with lots of energy. But the offer only lasts till noon!"

In short, the SMS text message is a versatile tool of great interest to online stores. You can automate customized, segmented, very friendly-sounding messages. Would you like to know more about how to use this tool?
