The GrowthTech Newsletter. By Sina Pahlevan. The Time Wizard.
I really need to work on the photos I generate in these emails. Lmao I choose whatever looks the coolest to me and I roll with it.
Whether you’re just posting content or you’re selling a product or a service… collecting emails is the BEST form of marketing your brand… SMS marketing has a 98% open rate and a 25% CTR rate…
You tell me of a marketing channel that has a 98% guarantee that a person will see your message.
A lot of people haven’t started an email newsletter yet… well take this as an opportunity to grow your SMS marketing channel instead.
The BEST App To Collect Phone Numbers For Your Brand/Business
This app is called OneText… their tagline is “Text to Buy for Shopify,” because they are primarily used by ecommerce experts. But anyone can use this product.
To access OneText, click here.
Here’s why its so revolutionary and what separates it from other SMS marketing platforms.
It’s very simple. They let users buy the product IN THE text messaging channel on your phone. You do NOT have to leave a conversation with your friend to buy a product.
How Does This Work?
When you’re selling a product, OneText will send your buyer a text asking them to press 1 to verify if they want to make a purchase.
If they press 1 and agree, they will be prompted to put in their payment information. The cool thing about this app is that once a buyer puts in their payment information, they never have to put it in again. No matter who the merchant they’re dealing with is.
So if I sell you a teddy bear and you put in your credit card and buy the teddy bear… if you use OneText next week to buy a shirt from another brand… your card will be on file and you won’t have to re-add payment information. That’s pretty cool tbh.
Why Should I Collect Phone Numbers Sina?
Besides the fact that OneText has documented a 16% in added revenue for their merchants, SMS marketing is the most genuine way to market your brand.
A lot of people don’t open emails… but most people open every text they get (unless you’re me and you get a lot of spam texts).
If you’re a creator…
Include a CTA at the end of your content to sign up to your SMS marketing channel and sell ebooks, courses, or any digital product.
If you’re a business…
The best way to make sales is SMS marketing. Convert your email subscribers to SMS subscribers & market really exclusive events to them.
Think outside the box. Break your routine, adjust your routine. Be uncomfortable. Truly do things differently this week.
I promise you… SOMETHING good will come of it.
