Connect marketing channels to sales closing

High ticket sales mostly happens when a client speaks to a sales representative on the phone. Hence, closing the gap between the marketing campaign channel and the main closing communication channel makes more sense. In other words, cross-channel retargeting is important but it should not be the core strategy whenever possible, to avoid leaking leads out of the funnels.

Evidently SMS text message is a shorter 1-on-1 genre leveraging existing informal communication styles*. Keep in mind that a corporate style of communication might not work best for this channel and put off the end receiver.

Conversely personalized message, with personal triggers will always achieve better reply and clickthrough rates compared to SMS mass broadcasts. The latter does not depend on audience segment retargeting as the first one which makes it a more appropriate and specialized form of communication for ACTION BASED call to action as oppose to brand awareness campaigns often used by U.S. political candidates.
