Best practices
One offer, one deadline, one action
SMS that convert hold three elements: what you offer, until when, and what the recipient should do. Everything else is noise inside 160 characters.
The legal framework is not optional
In France, SMS marketing requires prior consent from the recipient (GDPR), clear sender identification and a free opt-out ("STOP"). Sending is banned between 8pm and 8am, on Sundays and public holidays.
