Make Sure all offers are High Value

The first and the most important golden rule which you should follow is making sure that all the offers which you send to the customers are of high value. If customers will find their profit in the offers then only there are chances that you get a good response from them.

Your offer should be Irresistible

Give offers to the customers which they cannot resist. You can take the example of the Flipkart which follows this golden rule to make customers purchase the product from their app even if you don’t have need for this product.

Create a sense of Urgency

You must have seen the Xiaomi following this golden rule to sell their mobiles just in seconds after the availability. They simply tell people that only limited stocks is available for their product and they also show the countdowns through the help of banners in Flipkart and when the time comes people rush to buy their mobile and in seconds they are out of stock.

Get to the Point

Whenever you send an SMS to your customers always try to clear your subject of the message as soon as possible. If you will send the unnecessary messages then the customers will backout with reading the message which you want to convey to them. So, always try to be on point.

Engage on Multiple Platforms

Whenever you send a message always give links to your social media pages and tell your customers that they can connect with you on social media also. This will increase the trust of the customers.

Always give exclusive offers to your customers. Giving the same offers after and after will not benefit your business and with time customers will lost their interest on you and will ignore your messages.
