Always have there been fast and simple ways in optimizing your ad spend – either by testing different ads and optimizing them or by finding alternative ways of growing your average cart value.
There have been various attempts to push your potential customers to complete their orders with the highest value possible. It started with exit-intent popups, and these days more and more mobile visitors have become completely obsolete.
Emails have been used in order to recover carts and send special offers, but emails get lost in spam or the promotions tab – and most people never actually read them because they get bombarded with other spam emails. In addition, a lot of people check their email every once in a while, not even on a daily basis.
But what every person does is they check their phone. Compared to emails, which on average are checked 14 times a day, phones are viewed for new notifications more than 200 times a day. The main benefit of this is, that when a text message is scheduled to arrive at the recipient’s phone, it will almost surely be opened within minutes of receiving it. 93% of text messages actually get read within the first 3 minutes of receiving them. This way you can reach your customers at exactly the time you want.
The solution to simply implement text messages in your marketing campaigns is called CartBoss. Read more about the simplicity of this solution here: CartBoss – Simple website text messaging integration.
Ways of optimizing your marketing with text messages
Automatically sending text message reminders and special offers to people who have abandoned their cart is the most effective way of recovering carts. Visitors can get notified or offered a special discount minutes after leaving the shop. Not only that but if the first text message didn’t work, you can always send them more with better offers.
Another way of optimizing marketing is by improving the average order value. This can be done by offering a special and limited offer. One of the best times of doing this is after a successful order has already been made. A person who has already bought something on your website is more likely to buy something again.

With the help of text messages, you can send your customers special offers either immediately after they have completed a purchase or days later. Text messages that are sent immediately after a purchase has been made are called Post-Purchase text messages. Usually, they offer a product that has a low price so that there is more chance that the recipient will buy it.
The text messages that are sent days or even weeks later are called Win-Back messages. These usually contain a promo code (or a link to a product page) offering a discount on all purchases on the store. In a way as a thank you for being our customer. This not only grows your sales but also your brand recognition.
Text messages are also effective in mass sending – just like email campaigns. But text message campaigns offer better results due to the high open and click-through rate.
