Flash sales and promotions are the top reasons people opt in to text messages from businesses. If you’re running a promotion and want your customers to take action immediately, there’s hardly a more proven method of getting the word out than text. You’re almost guaranteed a sharp boost in revenue and quick returns on your investment.

Start by offering your customers a reward when they text in a keyword. This message can appear as a pop-up on your website with a widget that directly inputs the keyword on their text messaging app.

    Enjoy 10% off — text “CUPCAKE” to [Number] to unlock instant discounts.

Once they send the message, you can respond with:

    Hi there! Thanks for texting us. Use code ”WELCOME” to get 10% off your entire purchase when you order your favorite cupcake from cakes.com.

In addition to helping you earn more revenue, this strategy is an excellent way to build your contact list.

Below are other SMS templates you can modify to announce a sales promotion:

    HouseholdPro’s annual sale is just 12 hours away! Use the code “MEMBER” to enjoy exclusive early access as a text club member.
    We know you love to save big. That’s why we’re offering a 20% discount on all online orders for beef products. Valid thru 01/01
    Yay! It’s another Two for Tuesday. Order a box of candy today and get another one FREE. Hurry now and visit chocolates.com to order. Valid for orders above $20.

Order confirmation alerts

Many of the order confirmation alerts you send via email get lost in the flood of messages customers receive daily. If you really want your customers to see your confirmation messages, consider texting them. Here are a few text message templates you can use.
