This can help break down the barrier between you and your recipient, like you&#8217;re talking to them directly. It makes it feel personal. It also creates a memorable experience for them, as you build rapport and stand out versus your robotic competitors out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"padtop60\">If it adds to the customer experience, upsell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This applies to any kind of message you might be sending: a booking reminder, a delivery update or a tax return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can stick to the essential info, such as the dates and times, or you can add a little extra. No matter your industry, there&#8217;s always an opportunity to upsell with an approachable, positive and empathetic tone. For example, if someone makes a spa booking, why not add to their chill, relaxing experience by highlighting the luxury fizz they could receive on arrival?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/firetext.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/spa-booking-sms-reminder-example-1024x384.png\" alt=\"spa booking SMS reminder\" class=\"wp-image-4158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/spa-booking-sms-reminder-example-1024x384.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/spa-booking-sms-reminder-example-300x113.png 300w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/spa-booking-sms-reminder-example-768x288.png 768w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/spa-booking-sms-reminder-example-1536x576.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/spa-booking-sms-reminder-example.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"padtop60\">Steer away from including \u2018do not reply to this message\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If a customer can&#8217;t reply to your message because you&#8217;re sending it from your brand name, you have lots of different options. We&#8217;d encourage you to include a call to action, such as a phone number, an email address or a relevant link, e.g. to a web form. We also offer the option for you to send messages from a <a href=\"https:\/\/help.firetext.co.uk\/hc\/en-gb\/articles\/115003598171--Receiving-Replies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reply number<\/a>, which allows your customers to respond to your message if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By adding a point of contact, you become approachable to the customer and save yourself more time in the long run, as they can easily contact you to action what you need, or to reschedule or cancel an appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s an example we created especially for our case study with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/ckw-accountants-case-study\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CKW Chartered Certified Accountants:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/firetext.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/accountant-sms-example-1024x384.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4154\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/accountant-sms-example-1024x384.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/accountant-sms-example-300x113.png 300w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/accountant-sms-example-768x288.png 768w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/accountant-sms-example-1536x576.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/accountant-sms-example.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"padtop60\">Be functional but fun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how &#8216;transactional&#8217; you consider the message to be, there&#8217;s also a chance to jazz up the experience.

It strikes the balance of being informative and  friendly (<em>&#8216;exciting news&#8217;<\/em>), and goes above and beyond to create a positive experience for the house viewers &#8211; including directions and contact details. Importantly, the message is coming straight from the agent who is going to greet you, making it feel extra exclusive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"padtop60\">Include a clear call to action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The vital part of any message. Whether you&#8217;re including a link or contact details, try and use action-based words, such as &#8216;call us&#8217;, &#8216;check it out&#8217; or &#8216;click here&#8217;. These create more urgency to act. There are also specific tools, like the option to include a branded URL, to help increase click-through rates by providing a trustworthy, branded link. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This tool transforms your link into something like: <strong>sms.yourbrand.com\/ABC123<\/strong>. See the example below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sms-box\">Check out awesome guide on how to transform your texts: sms.firetext.co.uk\/ABC123<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"padtop60\">Don\u2019t forget your brand\u2019s tone of voice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t want to go off-piste when it comes to how you usually talk to your customers. Only you know what your tone is, and what works for your audience. SMS is a personal and direct channel to get your message across, so it\u2019s great to bear this in mind too. Think of of it like chatting to your customer face to face: How would you greet them? What&#8217;s your tone of voice? Then apply this to your message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"padtop60\">Provide an opt-out option<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By providing an opt-out in your messages, you give people the option to unsubscribe from any further SMS communications from you. This means that while some recipients will opt-out, you&#8217;ll be sending SMS messages you know your recipients will want to engage with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can provide you with a URL opt-out to include in your messages. This is where we create you a branded landing page. Your recipients simply click on a link to go through to a page and from there, they can opt-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once set up, you would include it within your message content &#8211; like the example below \ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sms-box\">Opt-Out? www.sto.pm\/[Your Custom Opt-out]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"padtop40\">And transform your messages&#8230;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using everything we&#8217;ve learnt, here&#8217;s an example of how you can transform a message from blunt to brilliant. And remember, regardless of your industry, there&#8217;s also a chance to evolve your messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"pink\">Before<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/firetext.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/before-message-example-1024x384.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/before-message-example-1024x384.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/before-message-example-300x113.png 300w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/before-message-example-768x288.png 768w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/before-message-example-1536x576.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/before-message-example.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"pink\">After<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"449\" src=\"https:\/\/firetext.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/after-message-example-1024x449.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/after-message-example-1024x449.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/after-message-example-300x132.png 300w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/after-message-example-768x337.png 768w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/after-message-example-1536x674.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/after-message-example.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Voila!
