Email open rates matter—no doubt about it.
But do you know what grabs attention faster and boosts open rates instantly?
Text messages. 📱
Here’s why SMS marketing is completely transforming webinar attendance rates ⬇️:
🔥 The Hard Data – Text messages have a 98% open rate, with 90% read within 3 minutes
🔥 The Psychology – Your inbox feels like work, but your texts feel personal. Which one gets your immediate attention?
🔥 The Timing Advantage – People check texts within 3 minutes (vs. 24+ hours for many emails)
Want to implement this in your next webinar? Here’s a proven 3-message sequence that consistently boosts show-up rates by 40-50% ⬇️:
1️⃣ 24 Hours Before:“ Hey [Name]! Quick reminder about tomorrow’s [Webinar Title] at [Time]. Here’s your link: [URL]. Can’t wait to see you there!”
2️⃣ 1 Hour Before:“ Starting in 1 hour! Grab your notebook and find a quiet spot. Click here to join: [URL]”
3️⃣ 10 Minutes After Start:“ We’ve started, but don’t worry—we’re holding your spot for you! You’re missing some amazing insights. Jump in now: [URL]”
The best part? No fancy tech needed—your CRM might already have built-in SMS capabilities.
PS: Always get explicit permission before sending marketing texts—it’s not just legally required, it’s about respecting your audience’s boundaries. ✨
