📊 ROI MATHS
Why SMS Marketing Pays for Itself
SMS consistently outperforms every other marketing channel. Here's why £35 on 500 texts beats £350 on social ads. Full comparison: SMS vs Email.
SMS vs Email Open Rates
SMS open rate: 98% (within 3 minutes)
Email open rate: 21% (within hours/days)
SMS response rate: 29%
Email response rate: 2.6%
SMS is 11x more likely to get a reply. For time-sensitive offers and appointments, nothing else comes close.
Worked Example: 500 Texts
500 texts sent: £35
Response rate: 29% = 145 responses
Conversion: 20% = 29 customers
Avg order value: £25
Revenue: £725
That's a 2,071% ROI on £35. Calculate yours: ROI Calculator
No-show calculation: A dental practice with 5 no-shows/week at £50 each loses £13,000/year. SMS reminders reduce no-shows by 60%. 500 texts at £35 saves £7,800 in recovered appointments — a 22,285% return.
Restaurant example: 200 texts Thursday offering 20% off Friday dinner. 47 bookings (23.5% response). Average £45/table. Revenue: £2,115 from £14 of texts. That's the power of direct mobile marketing vs hoping someone sees your Instagram post.
