What problem does it solve? Launching SMS marketing without expert guidance leads to TCPA violations, carrier filtering from missing A2P 10DLC registration, and burned-out subscriber lists from over-sending. This Skill provides the compliance rules, sequence templates, platform comparisons, and measurement benchmarks needed to run a profitable SMS program. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Compliance-First Planning: Covers TCPA express written consent, A2P 10DLC registration, GDPR, CASL, quiet hours, and STOP/HELP handling with audit-ready checklists. - Sequence Templates: Ready-to-use copy with character counts for abandoned cart, welcome, post-purchase, win-back, replenishment, and promotional flows. - Platform Selection: Compares Klaviyo SMS, Postscript, Attentive, Twilio, Plivo, Brevo, and Customer.io by use case, pricing, and integration depth. - Use Case: A Shopify skincare brand with 80K email subscribers asks where to start with SMS. The Skill runs a compliance readiness check, recommends Klaviyo SMS or Postscript, and prioritizes abandoned cart and replenishment flows by ROI. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to design an abandoned cart SMS sequence for your store with compliant opt-in language and per-message timing.

Frequently Asked Questions about sms

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start an SMS marketing program for my e-commerce store?▼

Start with a compliance check: complete A2P 10DLC registration for US sends and set up a compliant opt-in flow with proper disclosure language. Then build flows by ROI priority, starting with abandoned cart, followed by post-purchase and welcome sequences.

What is the best SMS platform for Shopify stores?▼

Klaviyo SMS works best if you already use Klaviyo for email since it shares one subscriber profile. Postscript offers the deepest Shopify integration for SMS-first brands, while Attentive suits mid-market stores wanting full-service support.

Can I send marketing SMS to customers who gave their phone number at checkout?▼

No, checkout phone capture only permits transactional messages about that specific order. Marketing SMS requires TCPA express written consent with clear disclosure, frequency expectations, and STOP/HELP instructions captured with a timestamp.

Why are my SMS messages costing twice as much as expected?▼

Emojis, curly quotes, and accented characters force UCS-2 encoding, cutting segment size from 160 to 70 characters and doubling billed segments. Preview segment count in your platform before scheduling and limit messages to one emoji.

What is a healthy SMS opt-out rate per send?▼

Healthy opt-out rates stay under 2% per send and under 0.5% for promotional messages. Higher rates signal over-sending or poor segmentation; reduce frequency to 1-2 promotional sends weekly and segment by engagement level.

When should I use a short code instead of 10DLC for SMS?▼

Use 10DLC for lists under 10K, toll-free for 10K-100K, and short codes for lists over 100K subscribers. Short codes cost $500-$1,000 monthly but deliver 100+ messages per second with the highest carrier trust.
