The Chat BubbleRCS, Facebook Messenger & SMS predictions and wishlist for 2020Predictions and wished for messaging channels in 2020. The biggest takeaways are: 1. Messaging is a digital marketing channel 2. The one most important thing an organization can do is build their mobile opt-in list. 3. There are special incentives behind RCS where if any vendor has success with the features, other incumbent vendors will be forced to release RCS offerings. So I think we will see significant adoption of RCS in messaging platforms and organizations. 2020-01-0400 min
The Chat BubbleText Messaging, Facebook Messenger and RCS in 2019Let's review the year 2019 in the messaging space. The one word that summarizes what's going on is "uncertainty". The biggest messaging platforms, Facebook Messenger and SMS/RCS, are undergoing big changes and nobody knows what's going to happen. Peer to peer SMS, the previous trend in the space from 2016 - 2018, seems to be slowing down. The one thing that's been true from 2010 - 2019 and will continue for the foreseeable future is that building an opt-in SMS list is the best thing to focus on.

The Chat BubbleWhy isn't SMS marketing bigger than email marketing?Anyone that's worked on SMS marketing campaigns has seen incredible response rates and conversion rates. It's extremely common for the SMS list to convert at 3x, 5x or even 10x the rate of the email list. We've all wondered, why is there so much more attention and resources paid to email campaigns, when the SMS campaigns are doing so much better. That's the question we pull apart in this episode of The Chat Bubble. After all this success, why isn't SMS the dominant & default digital marketing communications channel?2019-12-0700 min

The Chat BubbleWhat's still possible with Facebook MessengerFacebook announced big changes with the Messenger platform. These changes greatly affect how organizations can use Messenger in the future. This has created a lot of uncertainty in the space and frankly a lot of worry. The good times are definitely over. Facebook Messenger is no longer a channel where you can build and activate a subscriber list. But this doesn't mean that FB Messenger is dead. In this episode we talk through what's still possible with Facebook Messenger and the type of interactions that organizations should focus on in a post-broadcast world.2019-10-1900 min
The Chat BubbleFacebook crushes their Messenger ecosystem and may just reinvent mobile ads in the process Facebook announced that only verified news Pages can send broadcasts. I personally don't know what it takes to become a verified news Page, but I imagine that less than 1% of Pages doing Messenger can be verified. So any Page that has built a subscriber list on Messenger will be losing the ability to freely connect with those subscribers in January 2020. This is a big deal. There are organizations out there that have built lists of millions of subscribers and they are losing those subscribers because of this change. As an alternative to broadcasts, Facebook is...2019-09-2800 min

The Chat BubbleBest Practices for SMS KeywordsLast week's episode was about call to action best practices. This week we are going to focus on a specific piece of the call to action - they keyword. Here are keyword best practices. I like to capitalize the keyword. It highlights what the user should text in, but doesn’t confuse them with quotes. Any text message vendor should be able to handle capital or lowercase letters, just like a URL. Keep the keyword simple. Just use a word. Again, think like an ideal URL and focus on simple and understandable. Sometimes teams want to squeeze their br...2019-03-1600 min
The Chat BubbleSMS Call to Action Best PracticesTo review, a keyword call to action (or text call to action) is when a promotion tells the viewer to text in. This takes the form of “Text KEYWORD to SHORTCODE”, where the short code is a 5-6 digit number that is statice and the keyword can be chosen and tracked to the promotion. If I were a marketer with the Cleveland Browns I might have a call to action that reads. “To put your name down for 2019 season tickets, text BROWNS to 216216.” Let’s break down how all of this might work. “To put your...2019-03-1000 min

Quickly it became obvious to everyone that bots were the next huge trend, startups got funded, Medium posts were written and the space was officially hot. I’d been doing messaging for about 8 years at the time and the it wasn’t clear to me that bots would work. Other people that had experience with messaging didn’t jump on the bot bandwagon either. It’s safe to say, 3 years later, that the bot era hasn’t happened. I don’t think it’s coming soon...2019-02-2400 min
