Trumpia includes an AI text message generator that can provide you up to three different options on follow up messages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can simply set the tone, length, and topic that you need for your text message; get the samples, modify them if needed, and click send. You can also add images, links, videos, and other useful formatting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This covers the basics: the follow up messages format, tone, and content in general. The next step is to send the right messages to the right people. In order to do that, this is what you need to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Create Separate Distribution Lists&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sort contacts into separate distribution groups to send different types of reminders that suit your clients best. You can do this with Trumpia\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trumpia.com\/industry_solutions\/sms-smart-targeting-for-sales\">Smart Targeting feature<\/a>. Most of the texting platforms out there can only send indiscriminate, repetitive messages that you have to manually set or modify. Trumpia does that for you, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart targeting automatically filters subscribers and creates lists based on combinations of data that\u2019s collected in previous text message campaigns; like region, behaviors, interests, among others. You can also keep these distribution lists organized in real time with our Dynamic Targets feature.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dynamic targets also automatically update them when new subscribers opt-in; when contacts unsubscribe, or the profiles are updated. See how Dynamic targets work in this video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Setup Dynamic Targets | Organize &amp; Update Your SMS Marketing Distribution Lists Automatically\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f5rNcIJvUqs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>When to Send Your Follow Up Texts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve covered <a href=\"https:\/\/trumpia.com\/blog\/when-is-the-best-time-to-send-sms-marketing-messages\/\">when is the best time to send SMS marketing<\/a> in the past. As for sales in particular, one of the things you can do is to segment your distribution lists into time zones. So for example, let\u2019s say you want to send a text message campaign about a weekend promo. You can send the same message, on the same day to clients in the East Coast and the West Coast but targeting their specific morning time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Special Case: Abandoned Carts Follow Ups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a type of <strong>follow up text message for sales<\/strong> that doesn\u2019t follow any specific time and needs to be sent 24\/7. We\u2019re talking about eCommerce abandoned carts. Keep in mind that for these follow up messages, you\u2019re allowed to send one follow-up message within the 48 hours of abandonment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In these follow ups, it\u2019s also important that you notify who you are. Otherwise, you risk clients on believing the reminder you\u2019re sending is spam or phishing. Even though abandoned carts follow-up texts have the time rule explained before, they need to be sent randomly, at multiple different times and massively. An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trumpia.com\/api\/sms-api-overview\">SMS API<\/a> or a direct integration (Trumpia has both!) is necessary for these efforts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Team Up with the Ultimate Texting Software<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Trumpia can cover all your needs when it comes to text messaging for sales.
