SMS campaign best practices

Write short texts that get a response and stay within the rules.

Table of Contents
  • Say who you are at the start, because patients may not have your number saved.

  • Keep to one segment where you can. Emoji shorten it to 70 characters.

  • Make one clear offer with one link.

  • Send only to people who agreed to marketing, and offer a way to opt out.

  • Send at sensible hours, and avoid early mornings and late evenings.

  • Check the results, then try something different next time.
