It’s easy to manage and can help gain quick sales before, during and after the holidays. Offer Prizes Early with a Text to Win Everyone loves to win and if you offer a fun prize (or two), you’ll motivate customers and prospects to enter. The key here is to run your text sweepstakes before the holiday to get their attention. Early bird shoppers start in September or October, so hook them in early and build the excitement. Build a List One of the reasons to run a text to win sweepstakes is to build a mobile subscriber list. Think of it as the email list gone mobile (with much stricter spam rules and a super high open rate). Make it clear when they enter that they’ll be receiving marketing texts after the sweepstakes and you’ll be set to send text promotions to a receptive audience. Keep in Touch & Draw Them in Most sweepstakes don’t communicate again until the sweeps is over, but don’t let that stop you from keeping in touch. Find reasons to message your entrants before the sweeps end with a promotional offer or two. Free shipping, discounts or invitations to exclusive sales events all work to bring in sales pre-holiday. Just don’t overdo it or they’ll unsubscribe!

It’ll give you another chance to promote the text sweepstakes and get attention. You can also send a thank you with a “consolation prize” of a text coupon or special offer to everyone else who participated and didn’t win. After your sweepstakes ends, you’ll be free to send promotional text messages as well.. Don't Forget Last-Minute Shoppers Don’t forget the procrastinators who wait until the last week (or last day) to buy. Some may be too busy to shop earlier and others may be waiting for last-minute deals. Appeal to both groups with offers as this period may turn out to be the peak opportunity for increasing your sales. After-Christmas Sales It doesn’t end Christmas day. This is another chance to send after-Christmas offers or New Year’s deals. Keep in mind, this is when the real deal hunters come out, so it’s best to focus on discounts and special pricing. Nurture Your List All Year Remember, your subscriber list is mobile gold, allowing you to send text messages that are often opened within minutes. If you nurture it carefully and use it consistently, it can become of one of the most important tools in your marketing toolbox. Follow the Rules In your quest to get more sales, understand that text message marketing is regulated and messages can only be sent to users who opt in. Also, you must include disclosures (“text and data rates may apply”) and avoid texting off hours. Your store may be open 24 hours, but you shouldn’t send text messages in the early morning or late at night. Ready to boost holiday sales with text? Check out the Sweeppea text to win platform.
