Improve customer service & notify customers via SMS to establish greater levels of trust. Deepen the relationship with your customers and build a stronger customer loyalty with the help of SMS marketing. Loyal customers tend to buy more & more regularly. And they will frequently recommend your e-shop to others. More customers = higher sales...!
