Hot Topic uses Attentive Concierge™ powered by Attentive AI™ to make sure incoming messages are never left unread. When subscribers reply to campaigns or abandonment messages with comments like, "Yeah, but you don't have my size," conversational AI is there to help. It can recommend a nearby store or suggest other items available in the customer's size. AI-driven support via SMS not only extends the bandwidth of in-house CX teams, but it also improves response times and customer satisfaction rates.

Farmacy Beauty tapped into the spooky season spirit to promote their popular Green Clean cleansing balm—the perfect product for Halloween enthusiasts. They sent their customers a playful message touting the balm’s benefits, namely, its ability to effortlessly remove even the boldest of makeup looks. They also included a real customer review celebrating the product's effectiveness, showing why it’s worth buying for Halloween, but also for every other day of the year.

Cocofloss caught their customers' attention on April Fools’ Day with a "spicy" take on their beloved floss: instant noodles-flavored. The kicker? The limited-edition collection of savory flosses was actually real and only available for one day. The unexpected campaign created a sense of urgency for people to shop and be one of the lucky few to get their hands (or should we say teeth) on the rare item before it sold out.

Luxury fashion brand Coach alerted outlet shoppers of new items for spring by sending a timely and visually appealing text message. The pink graphic with the Coach logo, the new “Coach X Keith Haring” purse, and floral accents gives the message a spring feel. The warm tone of the message copy (“Baby, it’s NEW!”), combined with the mention that these items just arrived, is the perfect way to excite Coach shoppers about the new spring collection.
