Flash sales and limited time offers<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Text messages are very personal<\/strong>\u00a0and give recipients an<strong>\u00a0additional feeling of urgency<\/strong>. When seeing an email after a few days where it says that there is a limited amount of products left, most people do not bother as they suspect that they are too late.<\/p>\n<p>But with<strong>\u00a0text messages<\/strong>, the\u00a0<strong>results are almost instantaneous<\/strong>\u00a0as they get opened almost immediately after receiving them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<h3>2.

Last chance reminders<\/h3>\n<p>The<strong>\u00a0fear of missing out<\/strong>\u00a0is a sales tactic that works all the time. And with text messages, this is even more effective.
