SMS for Retail & Ecommerce Businesses
Run storewide sale campaigns, send personalised discount codes and text customers the moment their order is ready, with every reply landing in one shared inbox.
How Australian retail and ecommerce businesses use SMS
Retail runs on timing and stock. A sale that customers don't see before it ends is wasted margin, and an order sitting behind the counter for a week is a phone call nobody has time to make. Australian retailers, from furniture and appliance stores to grocers, butchers, nurseries and specialty online shops selling everything from golf gear to supplements, lean on SMS for exactly this, blasting storewide and seasonal sales to their customer list and texting the moment a held or backordered item is ready to collect.
Mobile Message sends at 1.6¢ per message on your first purchase with no monthly fees or contracts, so a sale blast or a pickup alert costs a few cents a customer rather than a subscription. Connect your Shopify store or import a customer list as a CSV, send under your store's name, and let customers reply straight back with a stock question or a pickup time, all landing in one shared inbox your team can work from the counter or the warehouse.
Storewide and seasonal sale campaigns
Blast an EOFY clearance, a weekend flash sale or a new product catalogue to your whole customer list with a discount code and a clear opt out, whether you're a furniture retailer or a corner grocer.
Order ready for pickup and delivery updates
Text a customer the moment their online order, held item or backordered appliance is ready to collect, or let them know a large item is delayed, without tying up staff on the phone.
VIP and personalised offers
Send a loyal customer a personalised discount code or an in-store only offer with their first name attached, so it reads like a perk and not a mail out.

Connect Shopify so order confirmations and product promotions send automatically as stock and orders update, no manual exporting of customer lists.

Let a customer reply to ask if an item's back in stock or to confirm a pickup time, with every reply landing in a shared inbox instead of ringing the store.
