Combine Email and SMS for Better Marketing
Email and SMS are not rivals - they are powerful allies. When used in coordination, they create a unified communication strategy that engages customers with the right message, on the right channel, at the right time. MyLINK MarketingPlatform from LINK Mobility makes it possible to orchestrate these channels in a single environment - making your campaigns smarter, faster, and more effective.
Why Combine Email and SMS in Marketing?
Your customers use both channels daily. While email is ideal for detailed storytelling and visual content, SMS is perfect for time-sensitive reminders and nudges that drive action.
Together, they offer:
Higher
Visibility across touchpoints.
Better
Personalization based on user behavior.
Improved
ROI with coordinated campaign flows.
Reduced
Message fatigue through smart sequencing.
This is not just theory - it is a data-backed strategy that drives engagement and conversions.

When to Use Email, When to Use SMS - and When to Use Both
Both Email and SMS have unique strengths, but the real power comes from using them together in a coordinated way. Understanding when to use each channel -or both - can help you deliver the right message at the right time for maximum impact.
Combining email and SMS allows you to lead customers through the funnel - from awareness to conversion - without missing a beat.
