If you’re not using text marketing in your business…
You’re leaving money on the table.
In this episode, we’re diving into how to use SMS marketing, I interview CO Founder Jake Dempsey, to build a powerful list, increase engagement, and turn conversations into conversions.
Because here’s the truth:
Social media gives you visibility.
But text message marketing gives you ownership.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
🔥 What text marketing is and why it works better than email
🔥 How SMS marketing creates higher open rates and faster responses
🔥 Why you need to build your own text message list (not rely on social media)
🔥 The biggest mistakes people make with SMS marketing campaigns
🔥 How to write text messages that actually get replies
🔥 The difference between email marketing vs text marketing
🔥 How to use SMS to increase conversions, sales, and engagement
🔥 Real strategies to scale your business using text message marketing tools
Why text marketing works:
- 98% of text messages are read
- Most are opened within minutes
- It creates direct, personal communication
That means:
👉 More conversations
👉 More connection
👉 More sales
The biggest mistake in SMS marketing:
Most people treat text messages like ads.
Instead of using text marketing to build relationships, they only send promotions.
And that’s why their audience stops responding.
The shift:
Stop using SMS to sell.
Start using SMS to:
- connect
- engage
- and build trust
Because the real money isn’t in the message…
It’s in the conversation.
If you want to grow with text marketing, you need:
✔ A strategy to build your SMS list
✔ A system to nurture your audience
✔ A way to turn replies into revenue
