How to improve your eCommerce MMS marketing in 2021
MMS marketing is an eCommerce must
MMS marketing continues to play a significant role for eCommerce. No one could have predicted 2020, but when it comes to 2021, the continued growth of eCommerce is undeniable. MMS marketing is now critical for online businesses.
Online shopping has been expanding rapidly, with a year-on-year growth of 23%, and 2021 sales projected to reach $4.5 trillion.
Using our MMS platform, our clients have achieved click-through rates as high as 11% and opt-out rates as low as 0.1% – and for a good reason.
An MMS is a visual version of an SMS. By using images, videos, audio, or GIFs, MMS makes for a compelling multimedia piece of content that is invaluable for eCommerce MMS marketing.
Use these templates together with our bulk MMS software to improve your marketing strategy.

Customers love a personal touch after they’ve placed an order. Send them a thank you message, so they feel appreciated.
