Some brands use text messages to speak to their customers build better relationships. This shows to improve retention. The average lifetime value (LTV) rising by as much as 25% when SMS is used for two-way communication.

Days Brewing, makers of 0.0% alcohol free beer, even saw a 62% LTV increase from customers engaged via text.

In addition, amongst the participating merchants were refillable cleaning product brand Homethings and vegan protein store Misfits Health, which saw retention increases of 33% and 8% respectively.
