Ninety-three percent of text messages get opened within the first three minutes of receiving them. That’s a nice statistic, especially when it comes to abandoned carts.” (05:46) (Tadej)“The results spoke for themselves because when you tell someone, ‘Hey, you’re gonna have at least a 2,400% return on investment. Just try it out,’ it’s not a problem.” (08:37) (Tadej)“In the EU, the click thru rate for the first text message that most of our clients use is usually around 40%, which is the same as the U.S. But the return on investment in the U.S. is lower by 20-30%. But, in the U.S. the second text message with the discount is 40-60% higher than in the EU because people in the EU don’t care as much about the discount. They do care about being notified or getting the feeling that the brand has some personal touch.” (17:52) (Tadej)“We just want our users to grow their businesses. That’s the only thing we’re trying to achieve. We’re just trying to learn how to make it easier for them. And, in the end, when they see it’s a plug-and-play solution and it brings them new orders on autopilot, they just put the account on auto-refill.” (23:38) (Tadej)“There’s a saying in web development. ‘Make everything possible in three clicks.’ The same goes for dashboards.” (27:47) (Tadej)“The future of eCommerce for businesses is optimization of costs.” (37:19) (Tadej)“It’s really easy to get caught up in ego thinking that your ideas are the best because you started the company, and you grew it this far.” (42:09) (Tadej)Guest ResourcesJeff’s LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/ Jeff’s Book –...
