Yes, texting your leads, customers, and clients is legal. However, before sending them marketing content, you must ask them to opt into your texting list, share their phone numbers, and receive your texts. You must also tell them what kinds of text messages you plan to send, and how often.

There are two main types of text marketing: outbound and conversational. Companies use SMS marketing services to send one outbound message to many people at once. Conversational marketing focuses on marketing through one-on-one chats. Teams that use this method encourage leads and customers to reach out, send interactive content, and answer leads’ questions over chats.

The most common use case for outbound text marketing is to send one message, such as a promo code, to a list of customers. You can also create personalized SMS drip campaigns by enrolling customers in a series of text messages over time.

Brands use conversational marketing to make it easy for customers to learn about their products over two-way chats. You can do this by posting about your SMS and messaging channels on social media and making these contact points prominent on your website. You can also send polls asking for lead and customer opinions then share the results. Also, consider sharing product tips via text so customers can get the most out of their purchases.

Customers are most responsive to business texts at noon. Businesses send the most texts from 9-10am, so aim to send marketing texts between 11am and 12pm, so you’re not competing for their attention. Customers respond to the most messages on Tuesdays, and companies tend to send fewer messages on Wednesdays. April to June are the most responsive months of the year for business texting with customers, so plan your campaigns around spring re-engagement. Fortunately, text marketing platforms let you schedule your texts to deliver at any time.
