What you'll need to send Valentine's Day SMS campaigns

Before sending Happy Valentine's Day messages to customers, you'll need to choose an SMS provider and start collecting a list of subscribers.

Choosing an SMS provider

An SMS provider is a text messaging service that acts as an intermediary between mobile networks and SMS service users. It offers an interface where users can send and receive texts and then routes these text messages to mobile operators and SMS subscribers through an SMS gateway.

You'll need an SMS provider if you want to send texts in bulk to hundreds or thousands of recipients simultaneously. An SMS provider also enables you to track campaign performance, manage subscribers and schedule texts in advance.

Collecting subscribers

Valentine's Day messages are classed as promotional material – and it's the law in most countries that you obtain 'opt-ins' for SMS marketing campaigns. That means subscribers must willingly sign up and give their consent to receive your marketing text messages.

Getting opt-ins is straightforward. You could have customers tick a checkbox on your website at the point of data capture, next to a statement such as:

'By ticking this box, you're opting in to receive SMS marketing text messages from [Company Name].'

Or you could display information at your premises, on your website, or on social media to encourage subscribers to opt-in to your SMS campaigns by texting a keyword (like OPTIN) to a shortcode number. E.g.

'Want to get special offers and the latest news from us at [Company Name]? Text 'OPTIN' to [Shortcode] to subscribe to our SMS marketing campaigns.'

Show customers you care with a Happy Valentine's Day text

Whether it's a token of appreciation, Valentine's Day gift inspiration or even tips on making the most of the celebration, a thoughtful text message to customers is a quick and effective way to show you care. It's a great alternative to the traditional Valentine's Day card (which is typically better suited to personal messages of love).

A word of advice – strike the right tone with your audience. This is one type of communication where you can often get away with being witty or informal. Feel free to use an emoji or two. But if you serve a professional, formal crowd, keep your message polite (but not stuffy). As long as your message is authentic and true to your brand’s tone of voice, you shouldn’t go far wrong.
