Email and SMS strategy for brands defining channel roles, journeys, and priorities
Clear channel roles stop retention work from becoming noisy
Email and SMS work best when each channel has a clear job. Email usually carries more depth and storytelling. SMS usually needs more urgency, precision, and restraint. When those roles blur, the retention programme becomes harder to manage and easier for customers to tune out.
The strategy work is there to define channel hierarchy, cadence, segmentation, and what good communication should feel like across the full lifecycle. That gives the team clearer rules for both automation and campaign planning.
Adding SMS to a weak email programme rarely fixes anything.
The better move is to define the role of each channel properly, decide where automation should sit, and build a retention structure that reflects the brand and customer behaviour.
