"Even though our SMS audience is a fraction of the size of our email audience, we see 10 cents more revenue per send and a 6x increase in engagement compared to email. But it's more than just numbers. Having SMS/MMS capabilities natively in Cordial provides us a seamless, direct, and efficient way to connect with our customers across channels that we didn’t have before. Leveraging SMS alongside email has not only enhanced our communication speed, but also has given us a new, creative channel to showcase our products in a vibrant and engaging way."
