How staying top of mind drove almost £5000 in sales for The Chesterford Group
The instant and direct nature of SMS makes it hard to miss.
The Chesterford Group generated £4,939 of additional revenue using SMS to re-engage with customers who had not ordered in over 5 weeks.
This campaign was purposely sent on a quiet Tuesday evening without an offer proving some customers only need to be reminded about a business to make a purchase. The short succinct message reminded customers about their “award-winning fish and chips” and included a link to order.
Example of The Chesterford Group’s SMS:
While SMS involves a small cost, the ROI on a well-crafted campaign can bring in significant revenue.
The Chesterford Group sent an SMS to 5119 of their contacts for the total cost of £148. This campaign helped to re-engage 208 customers and drive sales on what would usually be a quiet Tuesday evening.
Over a 5-week period (5 quiet Tuesdays), the Chesterford Group generated £4,939 of additional revenue using SMS from customers who had not visited in the 5 weeks prior to the SMS campaign.
