• “Getting started with Attentive was so easy. Their customer success team supported us every step of the way, ensuring a smooth migration and providing strategic guidance and hands-on support to make our SMS program as unique as each customer. One of our first projects was a 10-part EOFY campaign, segmented and personalised for multiple audiences, which resulted in an overall conversion rate of 8.6%, with our high-intent shopper segment achieving a 16.9% conversion rate.” – Lachi Agnew, Head of Technology, July
• “What sets Attentive apart from other vendors is their exceptional service, which has significantly enhanced our SMS program, boosted revenue, and fostered customer loyalty. The Attentive sign-up unit and welcome journey alone have driven a remarkable increase in revenue and SMS conversion rates. With SMS, we’ve become more responsive to customer behaviour. For example, our FOMO campaign targeting recent purchasers achieved a 36% revenue increase compared to campaigns sent through our previous SMS provider.” – Ollie Watts, Co-Founder, Hey Bud
• “When done right, SMS allows us to engage with our customers in a friendlier, more conversational way, almost like chatting with old friends and something we weren’t able to achieve as effectively before. We’re excited to experiment with Attentive’s AI-powered tools to boost our efficiency and create highly personalised experiences for our customers.” – Matthew Harrison, Content and Campaigns Specialist, Designstuff
• “SMS allows us to have a more immediate and targeted relationship with our customers. For example, when we wanted to significantly increase our sofa sales during the last End of Financial Year Sales, we used SMS to target high-potential customers within our CRM program, resulting in more than 700 sofa sales attributed to SMS. Our Attentive subscribers have responded very well to the program, which has driven 55x ROI in the past year.” – Sven Lindell, Head of Marketing & Digital Trade, Lounge Lovers
