As someone who’s a big fan of SMS, saying that SMS marketing works better than emails is like flogging a dead horse. SMS is perhaps the best way any brand can reach their customers directly and get instant response.
Don’t get me wrong, I love emails and Facebook ads, but compared to emails getting an average open rate of 30%, SMSes get an average open rate of 98%, and almost all of them are read within the first three minutes. That’s incredibly high.
And with how competitive the market has become, integrating SMS into your WooCommerce store is an option you cannot afford to ignore.
WooCommerce supports some of the best SMS marketing tools out there, and today, we’d be taking a look at some of the best ones for your store.

AutomateWoo is a powerful software that goes beyond just sending SMS notifications to customers. One of the best features of AutomateWoo is that it allows users to set trigger messages that are sent out once a customer performs or completes an action.
Triggers are excellent when it comes to cart abandonment and sending customer rewards for leaving reviews on your site. AutomateWoo would set you back $99 per year. It might seem like a lot for a new store, but the benefits of having a robust marketing toolkit are worth it.
