02 Incorporate a call to action in your mailing - in order to get more responses to your mailings, be sure to include calls to action in the content, which encourage the customer to be active and respond to the mailing:
• Ask a relevant question about his buying habits
• Allow him to express his opinion by SMS or return mail
• Allow him to initiate a conversation with a professional advisor
• leave details
• to receive a family coupon to redeem at the checkout
• Give him a reason to share your campaign, give him a good reason to interact.
Calls to action increase customer engagement in your marketing texts and this is exactly what you are looking for: increase the amount of interactions, create a viral conversation, generate a better ROI (return on investment on the cost of advertising) reach as many people as possible...

03 Write content with a personal tone, use personalization - combine personal content as accurate as possible in mailings.
- The customer's name is an excellent start, but it is possible to reach a much higher level of personalization that includes consumption habits, demographic variables and more..
- Also, it is recommended to include in the mailing the name of a contact person in the business, preferably a character that the customers know, identify with and value.
- Incorporating the name in the message will give the mailing a personal touch and enhance the feeling of accessibility, with the goal that the mailing will not be perceived as a cold commercial message.

- Clear messages, underlines increase the reader's attention level, especially in the digital world.

Adding a link in SMS or email messages allows you to significantly enrich the content you send, however, remember that the opening percentage for links is still relatively low and that if your goal is to receive feedback from the customer, using links can be detrimental and sometimes it is better to use text-only tools such as regular SMS.

07 Verify the quality of the mailing before sending it to all customers
- Before sending, send the mailing to a number of recipients who are not involved in the process. Ask them to express their opinion on the level of writing, the content, its length, and complexity. It is recommended that you do not be your own critics.
A/B Testing Have you reached the final stage and are still undecided? "Cut" two experimental groups from the customer database with similar variables, and send each of them the two versions you are debating between.
- There is a very good chance that the results of the opening percentages of each of the campaigns will show you which version is the best to send, or you may discover that both versions are not good enough and do not achieve the goals.
