Should I use SMS for Cyber Monday?

As an e-commerce business owner preparing for Cyber Monday, I'm exploring different marketing channels to maximize my sales and engagement. SMS marketing seems promising, but I'm unsure about its effectiveness, potential costs, compliance requirements, and how it compares to other channels like email or social media. I want to understand the pros and cons of using SMS for Cyber Monday promotions, best practices for implementation, and whether it's worth the investment for my specific business model and target audience.

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Yes - SMS has the highest open rate of any Cyber Monday channel (95%+ open within 3 minutes). Send 2-3 texts: a 'sale is live' alert, a mid-day reminder, and a 'last 2 hours' urgency message. Keep them under 160 characters.

SMS Strategy for Cyber Monday

SMS is the most direct channel you have. On a day when inboxes are flooded, a text message cuts through. Used sparingly and strategically, it's your highest-converting Cyber Monday touchpoint. Used recklessly, it drives unsubscribes.

Cyber Monday SMS Sequence

Message Timing Content
Pre-sale teaserSunday night'Our biggest sale of the year starts tomorrow at 8am. First access for subscribers.'
Sale launchCM 8am'Cyber Monday is LIVE - up to 40% off. Shop before it ends: [link]'
Midday pushCM 1pm'[Product name] is almost gone - only 12 left. Shop now: [link]'

SMS Best Practices

  • - Always include your brand name in the first word - recipients don't always recognize numbers
  • - Keep under 160 characters to avoid splitting into multiple messages
  • - Include an opt-out reminder (legal requirement): 'Reply STOP to unsubscribe'
  • - Use a trackable shortened URL so you can measure SMS-driven revenue
