The Channel Your Customers Actually Check

Your customers ignore your emails. They scroll past your social media posts. But they read your text messages.98% of text messages get opened.
Usually within three minutes. Compare that to email's 20% open rate, and you'll understand why smart businesses are texting their customers.

Why SMS Marketing Works When Everything Else Fails

Think about your own phone for a second. When you hear that notification sound, you check it. Maybe not immediately, but probably within the hour. Now think about your email inbox. How many unread messages are sitting there right now?

That's exactly how your customers behave too. SMS marketing works because it meets three critical criteria: It's immediate. No spam folders. No algorithmic feeds. Your message shows up right on their home screen. It's personal.

A text feels like communication between people, not another marketing blast. It demands attention. That little red notification badge practically forces people to look.

When Your Business Should Text Customers

SMS isn't right for every message. Nobody wants a text about your company newsletter or a minor product update. But for these situations?

SMS is unbeatable:

Time-sensitive offers – Flash sales, limited inventory, expiring discounts. When urgency matters, email is too slow.
Appointment reminders – Dentists, salons, consultants, and service providers reduce no-shows by 40% with simple text reminders.
Order updates – "Your package arrives today between 2-4pm" gets read. That same message in email gets buried.
Abandoned cart recovery – Someone was seconds away from buying. A well-timed text brings them back.
Customer service – "Your table is ready" or "Your prescription is filled" solves real problems instantly.
Event updates – Last-minute changes, important announcements, anything your audience needs to know right now.

Your List Deserves Better

Here's something nobody talks about: every invalid email on your list makes your valid subscribers see your emails less often.

When ISPs see high bounce rates, they don't just block the bad addresses. They start filtering all your emails more aggressively. Your best customers might never see your messages because you're trying to reach people who don't exist. Alert Messenger builds validation into everything we do. Before your campaign goes out, we automatically check every address, remove the risks, and make sure your message reaches the people who actually want to hear from you.

Because in marketing, reaching 1,000 real people beats sending to 10,000 fake ones. Every single time. Ready to see what your real list looks like?
Start with Alert Messenger and watch your deliverability and your results transform.

The Real Cost of Skipping Validation

Let's say you're sending to 50,000 contacts. If 15% of those are invalid (a conservative estimate), you're:

Paying to email 7,500 dead addresses every month
Damaging your sender reputation with unnecessary bounces
Losing revenue from poor deliverability to your real customers
Making decisions based on inflated list sizes and deflated engagement rates

One of our customers cleaned their 100,000-contact list and found 23,000 invalid addresses. After removing them, their open rates jumped from 12% to 18%, and their conversion rate increased by 31%. Same campaigns. Same offers. Just reaching real people.
