$5 Equal Over 380 Text Messages

Yes, that’s correct. With just $5 you can send around 384 plain text messages (160 characters or less) to US-based recipients. That means reaching over 380 SMS subscribers from your Shopify store with a deal or announcement.

Why are text messages so great? Not only do SMS score a 98% open rate (much greater than emails), but nowadays 66% of people prefer texting to communicate with family and friends. Also, text messages are hard to miss and normally customers take 90 seconds to respond to a text, as opposed to 90 minutes to answer back an email. 

In this blog article you can find lots of useful tips and great examples to help you launch a successful text marketing campaign.
