Just like that, the year has flown by (again). Now more than ever is a great time to send a message to your loyal customers thanking them for their support throughout the year.
Or you might want to offer a deal or promotion to encourage more traffic, footfall, or patronage to your business in the low season.
We put together a few SMS templates for you to send to your customers this New Year. We hope you find them helpful.
