Your 5-Step Launch Checklist
Follow these five simple steps to create and launch your first SMS outreach campaign.
Step 1: Choose Your Target Industry
Log in to your B2BSMSMail dashboard and click New Campaign. Select the industry that best matches your target customers. You can choose from industries such as Healthcare, SaaS, Real Estate, Finance, Manufacturing, Logistics, Marketing, Education, and many more.
Selecting the right industry helps improve message relevance and increases reply rates.
Checklist
- Log in to your B2BSMSMail account.
- Click New Campaign.
- Select your target industry.
- Continue to the next step.
Pro Tip: Start with an industry you’re already familiar with. It makes writing personalized messages much easier.
Step 2: Define Your Audience
Now it’s time to narrow down who you want to contact. Filter businesses based on job title, company size, location, revenue, and other available criteria.
The more targeted your audience, the higher your chances of getting positive responses.
Checklist
- Select decision-maker job titles.
- Choose company size.
- Select your preferred locations.
- Review the estimated number of contacts.
Pro Tip: For your first campaign, keep your audience between 50–100 contacts to test your messaging before scaling.
Step 3: Write Your Message
Create a short and personalized SMS. Keep your message under 160 characters whenever possible and focus on providing value instead of making a sales pitch.
Use personalization tokens like:
- {first_name}
- {company}
- {industry}
to increase engagement.
Checklist
- Write a concise message.
- Personalize with dynamic fields.
- Include a clear call-to-action.
