Below, we’ve listed out our top 10 favorite business text message examples to send to your contacts to create the best customer experience.
This one is a no-brainer! If you get a new subscriber or customer coming your way, it’s always a pleasant notion to send them a welcome text message. Common scenarios could include someone becoming a new member of your organization (gym, nonprofit, etc.), signing up for a company newsletter, or registering for a software trial. Whatever the case may be, it’s always excellent business etiquette to acknowledge someone becoming a part of your customer base.
Whether you’re confirming a reservation, a delivery, or a subscription, there are endless ways to send a confirmation text message— no matter what industry you are in. Some of our favorite confirmation use cases include:
A quick confirmation text message can give your customers peace of mind that whatever they signed up for is verified.
