For example, we all know that SMS is a great way to obtain new Leads, whether you work in the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/knowledge\/case-studies\"> Retail Industry, Events Management, Hospitality and so on<\/a>. <!--more-->However, what a lot of people don\u2019t consider is that SMS is also the perfect way to retain your current customers.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Retaining your clientele is just as, if not more important, than obtaining new Leads, due to the amount of time, money and effort put into building your customer base (that I&#8217;m sure everyone has experienced!). Therefore you want to make sure you are able to reach your customers so you don\u2019t lose them. With its sky-high open rate of 98% SMS has been proven to be the ideal way to touch base with your consumers and when you compare this to the 22% open rate that an email receives, it immediately seems like a no brainer to make the most of SMS within your business!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have provided some handy examples and guidance below, of how you can use SMS to retain your customers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Follow up with customer queries:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If someone has called in with a question, issue or is need of assistance, the perfect way to show them you value them as a customer, would be to follow up and make sure their problem has been resolved. A text message would be great for this, as it&#8217;s personal, impactful and short. This helps your customer build a strong positive relationship with your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The follow up can be sent from your own dedicated reply number, therefore giving them the option to respond. Little touches like this are a great way to please and therefore retain your current customers, as it is improving their customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Retain-your-customers-with-SMS-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3658\" width=\"589\" height=\"589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Retain-your-customers-with-SMS-1.png 506w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Retain-your-customers-with-SMS-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Retain-your-customers-with-SMS-1-300x300.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 589px) 100vw, 589px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Win back your customers:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a pool of customers that haven\u2019t purchased from you in a while you could fire out a quick text which gives them insensitive to buy again. For example, you could send out a \u2018One Time Offer\u2019 which is available for a limited period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key thing to remember is that SMS is still a personal point of contact, so by making use of our handy custom fields you are able to still efficiently send out a bulk campaign while maintaining a personal approach. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/docs\/sms-marketing-glossary\/custom-fields\">custom fields<\/a> allow you to write a generic message which will then auto-fill with the personal details attached to each number, such as their first name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could also include a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/sms-marketing-features\/sms-tracking\">trackable link<\/a> to your website, that not only makes it really easy for your customers to purchase straight from their phone but with our link tracker you can also see exactly who has clicked, at what time and on what device!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sms-box\"><strong>From: LolasBags<\/strong><br>\u201cHi Louise, ENJOY a 20% off discount on our new summer season of designer bags, using the code BAGDAY. Only available today, don\u2019t miss out www.lolasbags.co.uk &#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reward your customers:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If a customer stays with you for the first time, then you could thank them by following up with a text message, including a discount code for their next visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By sending them this right away, it means they already have a reason to shop with you again, while also showing them you are grateful for their purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of this instant act of gratitude, they have immediately received a good experience from your business, which will, therefore, build your customer loyalty. Also by having several loyal customers, you will find your business attracting new customers organically, due to word of mouth, which will help reduce your costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sms-box\"><strong>E.G From BeachHotel<\/strong><br>\u201cHi James, it was great having you stay with us this weekend, we hope you enjoyed your stay!

For example, by simply sending out a friendly reminder that you are there to help if they have any questions, you are improving the engagement you have with your customers. They won\u2019t feel pressured to answer a phone call, instead if they need anything, they could reply to arrange one that fits with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sms-box\"><strong>E.G From: FireText<\/strong><br>\u201cHi Jen, it\u2019s Lola from FireText.

The key point to retaining your customers is to make sure they have a great experience throughout their whole journey with you as a customer and to do that you need to communicate with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are just a few of the many ways you can use SMS to retain your customers.
