SMS marketing is a seriously underrated tool for boosting your business. Sure, social media is great and email is still king, but there's something about sending a quick, witty text message that can really capture your customers' attention. Here are some of our favorite SMS marketing strategies to get you started:

1. Keep it short and sweet: SMS messages have a character limit for a reason - people don't want to read a novel on their phone. Keep your messages short and to the point, and try to inject some humor into them if you can. A quick, witty message can go a long way in capturing your customers' attention and making them smile.

2. Use emojis to your advantage: Emojis are a fun and effective way to add some personality to your SMS messages. They can also help your messages stand out in a crowded inbox. Just be sure to use them sparingly and appropriately - you don't want to go overboard and come across as unprofessional.

3. Create a sense of urgency: One of the biggest advantages of SMS marketing is its immediacy. You can use this to your advantage by creating a sense of urgency in your messages. Whether it's a limited-time offer or a last-minute sale, let your customers know that they need to act fast to take advantage of it.

4. Offer exclusive discounts: People love feeling like they're getting a good deal, and offering exclusive discounts via SMS is a great way to make your customers feel special. Whether it's a percentage off their next purchase or a free gift with purchase, a little incentive can go a long way in encouraging customers to buy from you.

5. Be authentic and relatable: At the end of the day, people want to do business with people they like and trust. Inject some humor and personality into your SMS messages to show your customers that you're a real person (or team) behind the business. Share some behind-the-scenes glimpses of your business or make a joke that relates to a current event - just be sure to keep it appropriate and on-brand.
