Generic SMS messages can be easy to ignore, but personalized ones grab attention, drive engagement, and improve customer loyalty. With SMSLeopard, you can easily tailor your messages to different audiences using built-in tools that make personalization simple and impactful.
🔍 Why Personalization Matters
In the world of bulk SMS, relevance is everything. People are more likely to read and respond to messages that speak directly to them. Personalized messaging can:
Improve open and response rates
Boost trust and customer satisfaction
Drive higher conversion from campaigns
SMSLeopard helps you achieve this with tools that let you segment, customize, and automate your SMS marketing.
👤 Step 1: Use Contact Fields for Personalized Greetings
When you upload your contact list on SMSLeopard, you can include fields like First Name, Location, or Account ID. These fields can be inserted directly into your messages using variables.
Example:
Hi {FirstName}, your order #{OrderID} is ready for pickup!
SMSLeopard will replace {FirstName}
with "John" and {OrderID}
with "4567"—automatically, for each recipient.
📊 Step 2: Segment Your Contact Lists
Group your audience by behavior, location, age, gender, or past purchase history. SMSLeopard allows you to create different contact groups for targeted messaging.
Examples:
VIP customers vs. new signups
Nairobi customers vs. Mombasa customers
Customers who purchased Product A vs. Product B
📅 Step 3: Time & Trigger Your Messages
Send messages at the right time using the scheduling feature, or automate them based on user actions. For instance:
A birthday message on the customer's birthday
A thank-you note after a purchase
A follow-up survey 2 days after delivery
These can be set once and triggered automatically, giving you personalization without extra effort.
🤝 Combine SMS + WhatsApp for Richer Engagement
SMSLeopard allows you to pair SMS with WhatsApp messaging. You can:
Start with a short, personalized SMS
Then follow up with a longer message or file via WhatsApp
This is perfect for sending additional info, documents, or images without losing the personal touch.
🔄 Test and Optimize
Use A/B testing to see which messages perform better with your audience. Try different:
Greetings ("Hi John" vs. "Hello Customer")
Call-to-actions ("Reply YES" vs. "Tap the link")
Time slots (morning vs. evening)
SMSLeopard's reporting tools let you see open and response rates for each variation.
