Summer, when every message sells: Why SMS marketing is the king of seasonal campaigns
Summer is the season of impulse purchases. The sun is shining, people are travelling, buying gifts, experiences, or summer gear. If you want to sell fast, easily, and exactly when your customer is on their phone, one tool wins, SMS marketing.
No other channel delivers your message as quickly, reliably, and effectively. In summer, when people are away from computers but never from their phones, it’s a must-have for smart marketers.
Customers are away from their computers. Why email isn’t enough?
In summer, people read emails less – they’re travelling, relaxing, offline. But they read SMS within 3 minutes on average. Fast. Simple. Direct.
What is SMS marketing and why now?
SMS marketing sends a message directly to the customer’s phone. In summer, it’s incredibly effective:
95% open rate within minutes
- Works offline
- Perfect for flash sales
- Simple format, clear call to action
