Drive More Sales with Promotional SMS Campaigns
CartBoss handles your recovery and lifecycle SMS — abandoned carts, order updates, and post-purchase flows. For bulk promotional blasts (flash sales, seasonal offers) to your whole list, its sister product BuzzBlaster is purpose-built. Here's how promotional SMS works and which tool fits.
Two jobs, two tools. CartBoss is built for triggered, one-to-one SMS — abandoned-cart recovery and lifecycle messages that fire automatically off store events. Bulk promotional campaigns — a discount code sent to your entire subscriber list at 9am — are a different job, and that's exactly what BuzzBlaster does, to 30+ countries for about half what Klaviyo charges.
Promotions via Email vs SMS
Email promotions get buried in cluttered inboxes. SMS promotions get read within minutes. That holds whether it's a triggered cart-recovery text from CartBoss or a bulk campaign sent through BuzzBlaster.
You've planned a limited-time promotion with great discounts. The clock is ticking — you need customers to see the offer fast.
Your email competes with dozens of other promotional emails. Only 20% get opened — most after the sale is already over.
The blast goes out through BuzzBlaster — CartBoss's sister product — with a unique discount code. 98% of customers open it within 3 minutes, while the sale is still live.
With a 45% coupon redemption rate, SMS promotions drive immediate revenue. Customers tap the link, the discount is auto-applied, and they complete the purchase. Shoppers who click but abandon checkout get a CartBoss recovery text before the sale ends.
Everything You Need for SMS Promotions
Effective promotional SMS campaigns don't need complexity. CartBoss handles the triggered side — discount codes, tracking, and post-purchase follow-ups — while BuzzBlaster creates, sends, and tracks the bulk campaigns.
Automatic Discount Codes
CartBoss generates unique discount codes for each message and each customer. Codes are auto-applied when customers click through, removing friction from the purchase process.
Scheduled Campaigns
Plan your promotions ahead. Schedule bulk SMS campaigns for Black Friday, holiday sales, or any occasion through BuzzBlaster — while CartBoss keeps your triggered messages firing automatically off store events.
