EVERGREEN IDEA: THE 'SMS LIST GROWTH' CAMPAIGN
SMS marketing can go hand-in-hand with email, and is great for customers who would like an even more personal touch-point. Most people have their phone on them all day, and a text may come across as a more friendly, short, sharp and sweet form of communication for some, which means getting a good portion of your existing email subscribers to join your SMS list should be successful.
