Best Practices for Retail SMS

Compliance First

Always obtain explicit consent before sending marketing messages and provide clear opt-out instructions. Stay compliant with TCPA and GDPR regulations.

Timing Is Everything

Send messages during business hours. For retail, consider sending promotional messages a few hours before peak shopping times or on weekends.

Keep It Concise

Get to the point quickly. Clearly state your offer, the value to the customer, and the call to action. Limit messages to 160 characters when possible.
