94% Opt-in Rate With Infusionsoft & SMS
I just read a highly impressive post over at Infusionsoft’s Official Blog. The author of the post – Tyler Garns, Infusionsoft’s own VP of Marketing. Tyler shares his recent experience (yesterday) of capturing leads via SMS at Ramon Ray’s 12 Hours of Tech conference in New York.
Now if you were with us at InfusionCon this last March, you probably already saw Tyler use the InfusionSMS platform to drive opt-ins. Seeing that the audience there was comprised of Infusionsoft Users, dying to know how the integration worked, he had a huge number of people bite. No surprise.
So how did Tyler achieve a 94% opt-in rate? Here’s his story, “At the end of my presentation, I told the audience how to get a free copy of the book and request more information about Infusionsoft. All they had to do was text the word “chaos” followed by their email address to 411247. Of the approximate 51 people in the room, 48 of them texted in. They were automatically tagged (segmented) in Infusionsoft, received an email, immediate text response, and they were started on a follow-up sequence.”
If you haven’t checked out InfusionSMS yet, I recommend you do so now. You can even watch the demo here below to see it in action. I probably don’t need to state this, but just in case anyone is uncertain, you’ll need to have Infusionsoft for this to work 
Tyler goes on to say: “Once people are in your Infusionsoft CRM, you can send broadcast texts from Infusionsoft or even use text messages as part of follow-up sequence. It’s great for appointment and event reminders and just about anything else that could be accomplished with a text message.”
“This example is among many that shows how you can take Email Marketing 2.0 to the next level in your business. It’s not just emails … it’s not just texting … it’s leveraging both platforms to accomplish the need to send the right message at the right time to the right people. When you think of Infusionsoft, think of it as the engine to your marketing machine – it can really do anything.”
Hi guys,
All this and more can be had at a fraction of the price.
Perhaps the most important feature for all those who use webinars as part of their marketing efforts, our SMS platform gives you **scheduled** SMS as well.
Imagine sending an automatically scheduled SMS as a reminder 10 minutes before the start of your webinar? Or during the webinar, texting the attendees? Create a WOW effect that is certain to increase your conversions.
You guys know infusionWP – so you know this one’s the real deal, too.
Best,
Bob
