ELEMIS launched a Halloween giveaway to convert their website visitors into SMS subscribers. The brand customized their sign-up unit to capture the attention of browsers, daring them to opt in to SMS for a chance to win. They also included a Text-to-Join keyword to make sure anyone who was already on their SMS list could get in on the fun, too. After someone entered the giveaway, they received a triggered text message with a discount code they could use to shop in the meantime.

Apparel retailer Venus sent a “special treat” to text messaging subscribers. They included an eye-catching animated GIF with “Secret Santa” in big text. Underneath, in small text, Venus wrote, “Surprise! We’ve got a special treat for you. Can you guess how much it is?” Venus played into the holiday spirit by positioning the “treat” as a gift from their “Secret Santa.” They also instilled a sense of urgency by including the expiration date in the message.

Audio retailer Skullcandy texted subscribers about a time-sensitive 30% off sitewide offer. The message included a link to their site, which allowed subscribers to take advantage of the promotion immediately. Shoppers are always looking for exclusive deals from their favorite brands. Offering a time-sensitive discount is a great way to excite and engage your customers. And, by calling out the sense of urgency of the deal (“4 hours remaining”), shoppers are likely to act quickly on the offer.

Luxury watch brand Seiko texted subscribers about an exclusive offer for a free gift with the purchase of any of its Prospex watches. The message included an image of a classic Prospex watch and a Prospex backpack to show subscribers what they would receive. Sending subscribers a “gift with purchase” offer is an effective way to drive brand loyalty. This type of incentive is also a great alternative for brands who don’t offer discounts.
