What is an SMS drip campaign?

An SMS drip campaign is a series of text messages sent one by one to contacts at strategic intervals. Messages within a drip campaign are often triggered by a time delay or a customer action. Drip campaigns are a popular email marketing strategy, but given the rise of SMS marketing, businesses are now sending drip campaigns via text.

The goal of drip messages, whether sent via email or text, is to reach contacts with tailored content at the right time to encourage a purchase, boost engagement, or move them through the sales funnel.

6 common text message drip campaign ideas

There are many use cases for SMS drip campaigns. Let’s look at a few commonly used by Textline customers.

Appointment scheduling drip

Do you want to encourage customers to schedule an annual or recurring appointment? Use a drip campaign to set reminders at various intervals.

Welcome series drip

Customers are often most engaged with your text program when they first subscribe. Use this to your advantage to offer a strategically timed welcome discount or pre-planned message series.

Re-engagement drip

If you notice a customer hasn’t used their membership or subscription in a few weeks, encourage them to reengage with your brand with a text message drip campaign.

Lead nurturing drip

Most leads aren’t ready to buy your product or service immediately. Instead of letting leads go cold, provide a strategic drizzle of content to keep them engaged.

Review request drip

You can use a drip campaign to request reviews from your happy customers or send them a survey to collect more information.

Free trial conversion drip

Do you offer your leads a free trial of your product or service? Do you offer existing customers access to premium features for a limited time? In these scenarios, you could set up a text message drip campaign to remind them about their expiring free trial and encourage them to become paying customers.
