What Are Holiday Campaigns?

Holiday campaigns are custom SMS campaigns tied to major events or long weekends. They are highly effective because they motivate shoppers to visit your store during peak times by leveraging a shared celebration.

  • They drive weekend or event-based sales.

  • They promote seasonal products (e.g., produce, gifts, party items).

  • They encourage shoppers to stock up before celebrations.


Best Practices for Sending Campaigns

Keep your messages short, friendly, and direct. Busy owners and shoppers want the offer up front.

  • Include your store’s name and a clear offer.

  • Use emojis sparingly to support the theme.

  • Limit frequency to 1 message per week max.

  • Send messages between 9 a.m.–12 p.m. or 5 p.m.–9 p.m. (weekdays), or 10 a.m.–12 p.m. (weekends).

  • Use short expiration windows (2–5 days) to create urgency.

⚠️Caution: Always include “Reply STOP to opt-out” in every message.


How to Choose Your Coupon Type

SMS campaigns work best with a clear, time-sensitive incentive. Use your average basket size (found under reporting in the Back Office) to guide your offer amount.

Coupon Type Best Use Case Suggested Offer to Start
Transaction Discount Drives traffic/increases basket size with a fixed dollar amount. $3 OFF $25 or $5 OFF $50
Transaction Percent Scales discount with spending; great for high-spend weekends. 5% OFF total purchase (with a set minimum)
Single Item Discount Clears inventory or promotes specific seasonal items. $2 OFF 1 specific SKU (must be selected in Back Office)
Single Item Percent Targets high-margin categories like produce or bakery. 10% OFF 1 specific SKU

✏️Note: Dollar-off offers are predictable. Percent-off discounts can encourage larger spending but require closer attention to margin.
