Keep in Mind

Best Practices for Text Message Scheduling

You must schedule text messages during business hours for higher engagement, and keep the content short and clear for easy readability.

Do’s

Keep messages concise and clear as customers engage better with short, straightforward texts.

Schedule SMS during active hours to send messages when your audience is most likely to read and respond.

Use names or contextual details to personalize messages and make communication relevant.

Review content, links, and timing before scheduling SMS, and avoid errors at scale.

Align scheduled SMS with your set office hours for professional communication.

Use analytics to track delivery, open rates, and responses for continuous improvement.

Dont’s

Avoid sending too many scheduled messages in a short time.

Don’t send after-hours unless necessary, as late-night texts may cause frustration.

Don’t use generic templates only – Rotate and customize messages to keep them engaging.

Don’t schedule without follow-up planning – Ensure your team is ready to respond when customers engage.
