When will text to buy be available in Australia?
What ideas/campaigns do you use for SMS marketing? I usually just include bigger discounts for flash sales, but I wanted to see what other ideas would be good to try.
My ROI on Flows is pretty good 20x
but the Campaigns are barely even making even. Can you give me tips optimizing one off promotions, who to send it, how often, what converts well?

Hi Sziszi! Thanks for sending over this question.
To improve SMS Campaign performance, there are three factors at play: Audience, Send Time, and Content.
For audience, we recommend trying out new segments such as Engaged Segments based on recently clicking or subscribing to SMS, VIP segments, and interest-specific segments (such as people who recently viewed or started checkout on a collection that is now on sale).
For send times, try setting up an A/B test by send time to see if you have better returns on an SMS sent in the morning vs the afternoon. If you are hosting a sale, try sending the SMS message out an hour before your email campaign to create a value prop for those who have signed up for SMS.
In terms of content, make sure that you are keeping your message short and sweet with a single CTA and be sure to use more of a conversational tone.

Hi Stacey! Thanks for sending over this question for today’s SMS AMA session.

Question from the Live Session:
Are the image-based SMS messages harder to upload on the customer's phone?
Not that we are aware of.
Question from the Live Session:
Any innovative ways to attract more new subscribers to your SMS list?
One example is using the Instagram swipe up feature: Help Article: IG SMS Consent Collection
Question from the Live Session:
What is the ideal content schedule for sending SMS messages?
AND
What is the difference in strategy & psychology of SMS vs Email, as email can be "quieter", and SMS can be more "annoying" if over used. (my opinion)
When just starting out, we recommend 2-4 messages a month. That isn’t to say EVERY subscribers should receive 2-4 messages, rather you should be Segmenting to target customers based on engagement, interests, and actions on site.
Once you have fully ramped up your SMS program, the best practice would be up to 7 Campaign messages a month.
In addition to this, having high traffic Flows like Abandon Cart and Winback live with SMS is recommended.
Question from the Live Session:
Do you have a link to the wording we need to use to notify our visitors of our sms use?
Here are a few links you can use to collect explicit consent :

Question from the Live Session:
