14c SMS — Spread the love for less

February is the Month of Love, a time when retailers, restaurants, salons, gyms, and service brands compete for attention, loyalty, and hearts. Customers are flooded with promotions across email, social media, and apps, but one channel continues to cut through the noise with unmatched reach and speed: SMS. 

At SMSFlow, we believe meaningful communication does not have to come at a premium. That is why we are making it easier than ever to connect with your customers this February with SMS for just 14 cents each. Affordable, reliable, and powerful, because spreading the love should not break your marketing budget. 

Why SMS is perfect for the Month of Love 

Valentine’s promotions are all about timing and relevance. Whether you are promoting a limited-time offer, reminding customers about a booking, or sharing a heartfelt message, SMS delivers when it matters most. 

  • 98% open rates mean your message gets seen 
  • Instant delivery ensures perfect timing for flash deals 
  • No apps or data required, making it accessible to everyone 
  • Highly personal, ideal for relationship-driven campaigns 

In a season focused on connection, SMS is the most direct way to stay close to your customers. 

What can retailers do with 14c SMS? 

At just 14c per SMS, retailers and consumer-facing businesses can run impactful campaigns without overspending. Here are just a few ideas: 

Valentine’s promotions

Send exclusive discount codes, “2-for-1” offers, or limited-time Valentine’s deals directly to customers’ phones. 

Gift reminders 

Help customers avoid last-minute panic with friendly reminders about gift deadlines, reservations, or special offers. 

Loyalty and appreciation messages 

A simple “We appreciate you” message goes a long way. Thank loyal customers with personalised messages or early access to promotions. 

In-store and online traffic boosters 

Drive foot traffic or online visits with SMS links to landing pages, product collections, or booking systems. 

Post-Valentine’s sales 

Keep the momentum going with follow-up messages promoting clearance sales or self-love offers after the 14th. 

Big impact, small spend 

Marketing budgets are under constant pressure, especially for small and mid-sized businesses. SMSFlow’s 14c SMS pricing makes high-impact communication accessible to everyone, from independent retailers to national brands.
