    Send high-impact text messages

    Text messages can help you connect with customers quickly and effectively. That said, it can be tricky to craft the perfect copy for each text. Learn best practices for creating more engaging text message content.

    Write impactful text message copy

    When it comes to writing high-quality marketing text messages, there are 5 main rules to follow. In the video below, we will walk through each rule along with examples to help you craft more creative and personal texts.

    Add an SMS to an existing email campaign

    Using these SMS copywriting tips, let’s jump into how Klaviyo can help streamline this process even more for omnichannel campaign sends. If you have built an upcoming email campaign, you can create a complementary text message in minutes. Send this text to a relevant segment of SMS subscribers and send the original email to a relevant segment of email-only subscribers.

    Let’s walk through an example of how this works. SWAK is launching their premier Black Friday sale email campaign next week and they want to double down with a similar text, alerting top subscribers right away that it’s time to shop. When scheduling their email, they will:

    1. Click the option to Add an SMS.
    2. Select their target audience, in this case their SMS list.
    3. Edit the copy of their text message and schedule.
    Clicking the button Add SMS when sending a campaign.

    It’s that simple. Klaviyo even provides recommended copy based on the contents of their original email so they don’t need to come up with it themselves!

    After the campaign is sent, you will then be able to view analytics for both the SMS and email. This will help you to determine which channel performs best for the type of campaign content you've just sent so that you can learn and grow over time.
