Personalized SMS Messages Turn Browsers into Buyers
Personalization was a key lever to success this holiday, as brands sought out relevant messages to break through the clutter of the busiest marketing season and reach shoppers where they are. By sending timely texts based on customer’s browsing behaviors and actions, brands saw up to 36.6% of behavior-based SMS messages convert into mobile purchases and recovered a total of $148 million from abandoned carts, converting browsers into buyers.
AI is a Force Multiplier in New Era of Marketing Intelligence
This year, brands heavily leaned into Attentive AI™ to drive 1:1 personalization at scale by sending 218 million AI-influenced messages. Tailored-made for marketers, Attentive AI is trained on the industry’s largest SMS marketing dataset—over 1.4 trillion data points from 40+ billion messages across 70+ verticals. 45% of Attentive Concierge™ conversations were powered by AI, and delivered a 2.4x higher CVR as AI features helped to make messages more engaging as CTRs were higher across AI-powered text messaging message features.
Additional findings include:
For the second year running, the top send time for texts was noon, followed by 11am as brands sought to get in front of shoppers by lunchtime
Email sends peaked earlier, at 10am, but noon was the second-highest time, reinforcing that brands want to get their message across earlier in the day
Top verticals by revenue for SMS and email for Cyber Week are Apparel, Health & Beauty, and Jewelry and Accessories
