Our take
SMS marketing can be an extremely effective tool for eCommerce businesses, but it can often be invasive and irritating to consumers. Postscript solves this problem by offering personalized and optimized SMS advertising.
SMS marketing is nothing new, but Postscript has set itself apart by maintaining a laser-sharp focus on Shopify stores. As a result, the company has tapped into a previously underserved market that has seen rapid, continuous growth in recent years.
As eCommerce sales via SMS continue to rise in the US, Postscript is well-positioned to lead the market, helping more merchants develop personalized, effective communication strategies that drive customer loyalty and revenue.
