SMS Marketing for Toy Brands — FAQ
How does SMS marketing actually work?
Customers opt in to your SMS list (usually at checkout or through a popup). You send time-sensitive promotional texts, automated flows like abandoned-cart and back-in-stock alerts, and exclusive subscriber offers. Open rates are typically 95%+ within minutes — far higher than email — which makes SMS uniquely powerful for launches and time-sensitive promotions.
Is SMS marketing legal? What about compliance?
Yes — when done correctly. SMS marketing in the US is governed by the TCPA, and we handle compliance: opt-in language, unsubscribe options, message frequency disclosure, and quiet-hours timing. Built into every Toy Marketing Hub campaign.
How do I build an SMS subscriber list?
We set up opt-in capture at checkout, on landing pages, and via popups — plus list-growth promotions and giveaways tied to SMS sign-up. List building is part of the engagement, not a separate project.
How is SMS different from email?
Email is for storytelling, longer-form content, and consistent engagement. SMS is for short, time-sensitive moments — launches, flash sales, back-in-stock alerts, and holiday pushes. Together they cover both ends of the engagement spectrum.
