Here’s a few text messaging ideas for retail outlets:
- New shipment announcements
- Low inventory alerts
- Bargain hunter notifications
- Weekly/daily holiday gift ideas and promotions in the week prior to a holiday
- Holiday-themed item specials (beach gear for Memorial Day; red, white and blue items for Fourth of July; tableware for Thanksgiving)
- Discounts (percent off, dollar off)
- Buy one, get one…
- Limited time sales (eg., 3-4pm only)
- Deal of the day
- Slow day specials
- VIP programs
- Gift ideas
- Fill open employment
There’s really no more powerful way to reach the retail shop audience than by text message.
