Engage Customers Where They Actually LookB2C Marketing with iMessage.
Email open rates hover around 20%. SMS feels transactional. iMessage marketing delivers your promotions, cart reminders, and loyalty offers directly to the lock screen—where customers actually see them.
Highlight: B2C brands see 4x higher conversion rates on promotional campaigns when using iMessage vs email.
Your marketing emails are getting buried
Email visibility crisis
You're sending beautiful promotional emails, but they're landing in the promotions tab—or worse, spam. Open rates hover around 20%, click-through rates are even lower, and you're missing out on revenue from customers who would buy if they just saw your message.
Missed opportunities
Abandoned carts pile up, flash sales go unnoticed, and loyalty program benefits expire unused. Traditional SMS marketing feels impersonal and often gets filtered or ignored. You need a channel that cuts through the noise and reaches customers where they actually pay attention.
Common pain points for B2C marketing teams
Email campaigns with 15-25% open rates
Abandoned cart recovery emails that go unread
Flash sales and promotions that miss their audience
Low engagement on loyalty program communications
SMS campaigns that feel too transactional
Difficulty reaching customers in real-time
The cost of inaction: lost revenue from abandoned carts, missed promotional opportunities, and declining customer engagement.
