Color Wow rewarded their SMS community with early access to shop their collaboration with celebrity stylist, Chris Appleton. Since their audience of haircare enthusiasts likely associate the collaborator with the iconic glossy hairstyles he creates, they were excited to see what they teamed up to design. With the bonus best-selling comb, the brand made their subscribers feel special and in-the-know.

CALPAK customers were already primed for finding deals on Prime Day, but instead of directing customers to Amazon, the brand ran an exclusive sale on their website, enticing customers with a limited-time offer of $20 off a purchase of $150. Customers still got a prime discount but could shop exclusive items on CALPAK’s site. By purchasing directly from the site, CALPAK could then re-engage these customers later with post-purchase or customer loyalty campaigns.

Two weeks before Father's Day, CALPAK directed their subscribers to a curated page on their website with products “for every father figure” to help anyone who might be struggling to find the right gift. The brand also encouraged shoppers to text them back directly with any questions, and used Attentive Concierge™ to offer personalized assistance to anyone who needed it.

The official store of Bruce Lee texted subscribers about new limited edition stamp and postcard sets. They ended the message with a clear call to action to “Get yours here” and a direct link to the new product. They also included an image with the text message that gave a sneak peek of some of the new stamps, a great way to give subscribers a preview and drive more immediate action.

Brooks Brothers encouraged SMS subscribers to stock up on summer wardrobe essentials with their “3 for $169” shirt offer. They sent a series of text reminders leading up to Memorial Day, retargeting them to the subscriber segment that didn’t engage with the initial announcement. Since Memorial Day sales usually last just a few days, this flash sale and limited-time strategy tapped into the holiday’s shopping trends.

Boston Proper, a clothing retailer, enticed new subscribers with VIP access and 20% off their Memorial Day sale. With the countdown timer sign-up unit only having hours or minutes left, it created a sense of urgency for subscribers to enroll if they wanted the benefits of exclusive early access. They also used an element of social proof and scarcity by showing how many other people had already signed up for VIP access.

Blenders Eyewear surely made website visitors’ eyes widen with their countdown timer sign-up unit that was counting down to a new drop. New subscribers would get first access to the latest eyewear collection and they would get a discount code for 15% off their next order. Talk about a win-win. With the right tracking in place, Blenders Eyewear would be able to better personalize SMS messages with product recommendations or retargeting campaigns.

AfterShokz—a headphone and electronics brand—A/B tested their text message for a new product launch to understand what would resonate with subscribers. In this version, they described the mic as a “desk partner,” and included a GIF to showcase how the product fits customers’ common needs.
