Your New Secret Weapon to Sell More in BigCommerce


SMSBump is your new best friend for growth hacking your way up to more sales and conversion.
 

While E-Commerce businesses are struggling to leverage social media advertising, email marketing campaigns, video ads and more, we decided to take a different path.

We wanted to get away from the noise and clutter of mainstream marketing solutions and give entrepreneurs a more direct and effective tool to grow and succeed.
 

Text marketing is all about the ability to use texting (SMS) to reach your customers.

It lets you reach them straight to their mobile phones ensuring they will see your message and will have a one-click way to complete the action you want.
 

Friendly UI: Simple, Fast, Optimised for Productivity


Your main navigation includes shortcuts to everything you need to tell SMSBump what to do.

  • Your account balance & credits
     

But enough with that, let's get into the good stuff!
 

Ready to Activate Your First Marketing Automation?


You have much more options to choose from for increasing your sales with the new SMSBump.

You want to set an automation that sends text messages to customers whenever they complete a certain action?

Easy.

SMSBump Automations in BigCommerce.
 

We have a few automations ready for you to start with.

Customise and activate them to begin.

You can use the built-in customer actions to select what triggers your BigCommerce store to send a text message.

A customer has abandoned a cart without purchasing? Very likely, since this happens to nearly 80% of all shopping carts around the world.

No worries, we got you covered.

Abandoned checkout recovery automation


Set an automation that reminds your customers of their forgotten products at the right time and sit back as you watch those carts roll back through your checkout.

...successfully!

Meanwhile, other transactional SMS notifications such as a new purchase or shipping updates are conventional for the E-Commerce industry and help build more trust and show customer appreciation.

Marketing Automations
 

Activate the automations for Order Created, Order Updated and New Customer Registration to automatically notify customers with concise and straight-to-the-point text messages.

This helps customers to be certain that all their account information is confirmed and their goods are safely on their way.
 

Ready to Launch Your First Text Marketing Campaign?


Running a sale and want to promote products with a text marketing campaign?

Easy.

We have prepared custom targeting filters to help you reach the exact customers you want.

Text Marketing Campaign in BigCommerce


You can target all the customers in your BigCommerce store, or you can craft targeted text marketing campaigns for…

  • Specific customers

  • Customers who spent more or less than $X.xx

  • Customers who ordered products in a specified period (Example: Last week)

  • Customers who have made an order and might need a shipping update

    Customers with more or less than a specific number of orders

  • Customers who registered in a specified period (Example: In the last 3 months)

  • Customer groups

  • Customers who accept marketing


You can surely imagine unlimited possibilities and scenarios already.
 

Personalize Text Messages with One Click


Increase conversion even more with personalized text marketing messages.

Personal texts are much more powerful than messages that are obviously sent by a robot.

Start with the customer’s name and talk about their individual actions. It feels much more like a personal conversation and it’s easier to appeal to customers and make them feel special.

You have short codes for all the important customer details, links and names you want to enter in your text message.

Text message field.


For example, this is the Abandoned Cart Automation template where you have predefined short codes for:

  • Abandoned Checkout URL

  • Cart Total

  • Cart Product Count

  • Cart Currency

These short codes will automatically get the specific data for each customer and their cart.

This way, you will be sending personalized messages starting with the customer’s name and including all the information from their abandoned cart.

Same goes for all other Automations and Text Marketing Campaigns.
 

Make Sales, Not Angry Customers


Text messaging is powerful, but if you cross the line and make a customer unhappy with unwanted messages, they will want to unsubscribe.

That’s why we have this small checkbox available:

Add STOP to marketing messages.


Always add the STOP unsubscribe option with a single click to let customers easily opt-out of your messages in case they want to.

If we follow this example, all customers will have to do here is text back STOP11964 (the numbers after STOP are unique for your account and will be different). That way, they won’t receive any more messages.

Imagine getting aggressive advertising texts you don’t want and you have no way to stop receiving them. It can drive you insane, right?

Don’t do that to your customers.

They will appreciate it.
 

How Much to Spend? When to Send? You Decide.


It’s easy to get carried away when you see how good SMSBump is in bringing your BigCommerce store more sales.

However, there are a couple of things you shouldn’t let go out of hand.
 

Quiet Hours

Don’t bother your customers during specific times of day, especially at night. Nobody likes to get bumped at 2AM with a shopping cart reminder.

Enabling the Quiet hours option in the SMSBump Settings lets you prevent the app from sending any text messages within a specified time of the day.

Please mind that this setting is triggered based on the Timezone of the store owner.

The recommended time to stop sending texts is at night between 10PM and 9AM.

DND & Max SMS Price
 

Max SMS Price

Sometimes texts can be more costly than you might expect.

For instance if you’re sending messages to countries where the SMS price is high or you’ve send a message that counts as more than 1 SMS.

This helpful option lets you safeguard against such accidents. Enable it and set the Max Price you don’t want to go over with your text messages.

This should be an estimate you make after you send a few messages and establish your own preferences for the approximate price you consider normal for your BigCommerce store.
 

Track and Optimize. Always.


Always keep an eye on your Analytics. SMSBump comes with data tracking for all the important metrics your text marketing campaigns need.

  • Budget Spent for Automations & Text Marketing

  • Orders Made via Automations & Text Marketing

That’s great, you know how much you’re spending and how much you’re gaining.

But how do you get more in-depth knowledge on how the campaigns are performing and how users are interacting with your messages?

To go even deeper into your SMSBump data, there are individual Campaign Analytics for each text marketing campaign or automation you’re running.

Campaign Analytics
 

Use the Campaign Summary to keep an eye on:

  • Campaign Revenue & Campaign Cost

  • Total Orders

  • AOV (Average Order Size)

  • Total Link Clicks

  • CTR (Click Through Rate)

  • Total Messages

  • Sent / Failed / Unsubscribed
     

You can use this data to decide whether you need to switch up the tactics, make a change in timing, optimize your texts, audience or budget.

You can even connect SMSBump with Google Analytics - Watch Video Tutorial.
