IQ Top Tips

When sending an SMS campaign please ensure you are aware of the length of the message and try to keep the message within 160 characters where you can.

Make full use of the merge fields available to you, these help to personalise your message to your clients. 

Have a second person read your message checking for spelling and grammar mistakes, you will be surprised what you miss by looking too much.

Send your SMS at around 8 am in the morning.

Ensure you include a call to action; this means that you are telling your clients what to do with the message. i.e. Call 01234 567890 to book now, click here to book (include your web URL or Book Now merge field)

Create some urgency behind the message to encourage your clients to take immediate action i.e. limited availability, only 10 bookings left, book before it’s too late, don’t miss out.
