Your customers are glued to their phones—so why not use that to your advantage? SMS marketing lets you send messages in a channel they already use, check often, and trust. And since traditional advertising (and even social media ads) can add up fast, SMS is an affordable—but still highly effective—way to reach prospects, nurture leads, and build customer relationships. Burst SMS can help with that.
Burst SMS is an online text service that lets businesses send bulk text campaigns and manage every aspect of an SMS marketing strategy. Users can manage and segment contacts, trigger inbound SMS campaigns with keywords, and translate emails to SMS (and vice versa). And with white-label branding and dedicated virtual numbers, you can launch your professional online SMS hub in minutes.
One great way to use SMS is to reach out to customers who fell short of completing a purchase. Sometimes, a reminder text is all that's needed to nudge a customer into finalizing that sale. But it can be a pain to manually watch for abandoned sales in Shopify.
Fortunately, you can create a simple Zap (our word for automated workflows) that automatically sends abandoned cart reminders in Burst SMS whenever a customer leaves an incomplete purchase. That way, you can maximize sales and stay connected with shoppers—no busy work required.
The problem: You don't have time to monitor Shopify for abandoned carts. And even if you did, copying and pasting customer data between apps is both inefficient and unsustainable as your business grows.
The solution: Instead, use automation to send abandoned cart reminders from your Burst SMS account. Whenever a customer leaves an incomplete transaction in Shopify, they'll receive a gentle nudge (in the form of a friendly text) from your brand.
