Why Your Marketing Isn't Working Anymore (And It's Not Your Fault)
Your email list has thousands of customers who bought from you, loved your boutique, and gave you their contact info. But here's what actually happens:
The Email Graveyard
15-20% open your emails (if you're lucky). Gmail's 'Promotions' tab buries your flash sale announcement. 80% of your customers never see your new arrival alerts. You're sending messages into a void. Your best customers want to hear from you. They just never see your emails.
The Algorithm Hostage Situation
Remember when you could post on Instagram and your followers actually saw it? Now you're lucky if 5% of your audience sees your organic posts. The rest? Hidden by the algorithm unless you pay. So you spend $500 on Facebook ads. You get 47 clicks. Maybe 3 sales. That's $166 per customer acquisition for a $65 average sale. The math doesn't work. And it's getting worse every year.
The 'We Miss You' Problem
You know those customers who shopped with you once, loved your boutique, then disappeared? They're not gone because they don't like you. They're gone because your emails went to spam, your social posts never appeared in their feed, and they forgot about you (not intentionally, just life). There's thousands of dollars of dormant revenue sitting in your customer database. You just can't reach them.
Urgency That Doesn't Work
Flash sales need URGENCY. New arrivals need IMMEDIATE awareness. But when your message arrives 3 days late (or never), the moment is gone. That limited-edition dress? Sold out to customers who happened to check your website. The 40% off flash sale? Only 12 people showed up because only 12 people knew.
The problem isn't your offers. The problem isn't your products. The problem is the CHANNEL. Email open rates: 15-20%. Social media reach: 2-5% (organic). Text message open rates: 98%. Same message. Same offer. Completely different results.
What If 98% of Your Customers Actually READ Your Messages?
Text messages aren't filtered. They aren't algorithmically suppressed. They don't land in spam folders. When you text your customers: 98% read the message, a significant percentage respond or take action, within 3 minutes of receiving it. This is how retail boutiques are competing with Amazon Prime and big-box stores. Not by outspending them on ads. By out-connecting them with their best customers.

The Numbers Don't Lie
Before SMS Marketing
- ✗Email blast to 2,000 customers
- ✗20% open rate = 400 people see your message
- ✗2% click rate = 8 people click through
- ✗Maybe 2-3 actually visit
- ✗Flash sale feels like a failure
After SMS Marketing
- ✓Text message to 2,000 customers
- ✓98% read rate = 1,960 people see your message
- ✓Significantly higher engagement rate
- ✓Dozens walk in during flash sale hours
- ✓Same offer. Different channel. Different results.
1 SMS campaign to 500 VIP customers at $0.05/message = $25. Average boutique sale: $65.
If 15 customers show up (3% conversion): $975 in sales. ROI: 39X on a single campaign.

What You Get:
Questions Boutique Owners Ask
How long until I can start texting customers?
A2P carrier verification (required for business SMS) takes 2-3 weeks. This is a federal compliance requirement, not something any SMS platform can skip. We start the verification process immediately during your setup, so you'll be ready to send as soon as it's approved. During the verification period, we're building your campaigns and organizing your contacts so you're ready to launch the moment you're verified.
Will my customers find SMS messages annoying?
The opposite, actually. Your best customers WANT to hear from you about flash sales, new arrivals, and VIP offers. They're annoyed when they miss these things because your email got buried. SMS has a 98% open rate because people actually want to read their texts. And with proper opt-out language (which we include in every template), customers who don't want messages can easily unsubscribe.
I already collect emails. Why do I need phone numbers too?
Because 80% of your customers never see your emails. Email has a 15-20% open rate. SMS has a 98% open rate. Same message, same offer, completely different results. You can (and should) use both, but SMS will dramatically improve how many customers actually hear about your flash sales and new arrivals.
How is this different from just texting from my personal phone?
Three big differences: (1) Compliance: Business texting requires A2P 10DLC registration. Without it, carriers will block your messages. We handle all compliance for you. (2) Scale: You can't text 500 customers from your iPhone. Our platform lets you reach your entire customer list with one click. (3) Professional: Customers expect business texts to come from a business number with proper opt-out language. Personal texts feel unprofessional and can create legal liability.
What if I don't have a big customer list yet?
Even a small list can generate significant revenue. 100 customers at 98% open rate = 98 people who see your message. If 10% respond (very conservative) = nearly 10 potential sales. Average boutique sale of $65 = $650 from one campaign. Plus, we help you build your list with strategies like checkout collection, signage, and website opt-ins.
What happens after 90 days?
Your choice: (1) Continue at our monthly rate with 3,000 messages included. No contract, cancel anytime. (2) Cancel with no questions asked. Keep everything we built: your campaigns, your organized contact list, everything. There's no pressure and no tricks. After 90 days, you'll know if SMS works for your boutique. Most owners see results within 30 days and can't imagine going back to email-only.
Your Customers Are Waiting to Hear From You
Right now, your best customers are missing your flash sale announcements (buried in email), not seeing your new arrival posts (hidden by algorithms), and shopping elsewhere (because they forgot about you). SMS changes that. 98% of messages get read (industry average). We write your campaigns. We handle compliance. You click send.
