SMS & Text Marketing
Email open rates hover around 20-30%. SMS open rates are routinely above 90%, most within minutes of sending. We build and manage SMS campaigns and automated flows - appointment reminders, booking confirmations, promotions and win-back messages - a channel almost no Irish SME is using properly yet, despite how well it performs in the US and UK markets.

SMS & Text Marketing - frequently asked questions
Is SMS marketing legal in Ireland?
Yes, with proper opt-in consent and clear opt-out options - the same ePrivacy rules that apply to email marketing. We build every campaign and sign-up flow to be compliant from the start.
Won't customers find text messages annoying?
Not when used well - appointment reminders and genuinely useful updates are consistently rated as welcome by recipients, which is why open rates stay so high. Frequency and relevance are managed carefully as part of the service.
Can this reduce no-shows for my business?
Yes - automated appointment reminders are one of the most effective, lowest-effort uses of SMS, and pair naturally with the Appointments & Booking pages already built for businesses like yours.
