It would be unusual to receive a marketing email asking you to respond with a “1” for more information on a topic. The campaign probably wouldn’t yield the insights a brand is looking for.
But for SMS marketing, that’s exactly what’s happening … and it’s working. Texting is a marketing channel that uniquely blends personalization and data gathering. Its capabilities in getting prospects and customers to interact is changing the game for brands and marketers.
Joining us on the podcast for this episode is Sara Varni, CMO at Attentive — a comprehensive text marketing solution that drives an average of 20 and a half percent of online revenue for modern ecommerce brands. Sara is here to walk us through SMS marketing. She also explains why this mobile channel has found such success and why it’s so important to integrate the campaign for your brand.
Before her role at Attentive, Sara spent a decade at Salesforce, and four years as CMO at Twilio.
In this conversation she shares the importance of telling stories to create a more memorable marketing experience. She also talks about why knowing where each unique customer is in their journey is vital to conversion and why understanding intent through zero-party data capturing is critical to marketing success.
Sara and I also discussed:
• Why SMS texting is the personal and meaningful approach to marketing
• What the differences are in data capturing
• How marketing is a long game
• Why building a digital persona is so vital to marketing
• What roadblocks are in place for successful digital marketing
