Top message templates for christmas to boost sales this holiday season

During this time of the year, it goes without saying that everyone will be offering the best deals to boost their sales. That means that you need to have a solid messaging marketing plan in place —and well in advance. Be sure to enable your customers to reply to your messages or reach out to you should they have any queries. Considering that 75% of consumers prefer to engage with businesses over chat channels, you’ll be setting yourself up for success. Ultimately, this will nurture sales—ah, the power of two-way communication.

Planning in advance and enabling two-way communication will allow you to do the following things.

• Create hype around your campaign
• Respond to customer queries in real-time
• Help customers make purchase decisions
• Measure purchase intent
• Secure early sales

Check out these templates you can use to mentally prepare your customers for the coming Christmas sales.
