SMS Marketing (Dental) in practice
Text tends to be read sooner than email, and the open-rate figures that circulate for both have no traceable source. Best practices: TCPA-compliant consent collection, STOP keyword on every message, send between 9am-9pm local time, two-way replies enabled. SMS marketing is commonly used to reduce no-shows and grow Google reviews.
