Frequently asked questions
-
How many of my email subscribers will actually convert?
Based on grocery retail data, expect 18-25% conversion with the right incentive. Stores offering $10+ welcome bonuses see the higher end. Those with loyalty program tie-ins often exceed 30%.
-
What if customers get too many messages?
Start with 2-3 texts weekly, focusing on high-value content: Tuesday specials preview, Thursday flash sale, Saturday weekend deals. Our most successful grocery partners maintain under 1% weekly opt-out rates with this frequency.
-
Do I need different content for texts vs emails?
Absolutely. Texts should be 160 characters max, action-oriented, and time-sensitive. Save recipes, store news, and seasonal content for email. Think of texts as your "act now" channel and email as your "plan ahead" channel.
