πŸ“² Best Practices When Sending an SMS Blast

Sending an SMS blast is a powerful way to instantly reach your audience. Follow these best practices to maximize engagement while staying compliant.

⏰ Respect Sending Hours

Send messages between 900 AM and 9:00 PM (local time) to comply with carrier and legal guidelines and improve response rates.

πŸ” Manage Frequency & Expectations

Set clear expectations for how often subscribers will hear from you and avoid over-messaging (for example, up to 5 messages per month).

✍️ Keep It Short with a Clear Call to Action

SMS performs best when messages are concise (under 160 characters). Use personalization, short links, and a clear action, such as Shop Now or Claim Offer.

βœ… Ensure Compliance

Always use double opt-in and include opt-out instructions in every message (e.g., Reply STOP to unsubscribe).

πŸ“Š Measure & Improve

Track delivery rates, link clicks, and redemptions. Test different messages, offers, timing, and audience segments to continuously improve results.
