Why You Should Combine Email with Texting
The Benefits of Using Both
Texts Get the Emails Read
Emails are perfect for longer updates, contracts, case studies, and showing your professionalism. A follow-up text pulls the readers’ attention straight to your message.
Speed Up the Response Time
We’ve all sent emails that go unanswered. A short, friendly text helps cut through the noise and get a faster response. And when you’re locking up deals or coaching students through their first one, time matters.
It’s Personal
Email can feel formal, and texting adds that casual, human layer. It makes your outreach feel like a real conversation.
How to Use Email and Texting Together
Send the Email First
Start with a value-packed email. Introduce yourself, explain your offer, or share helpful info. Make it clear, concise, and include a CTA.
Follow Up with a Text
Wait a few hours or a day, and send a quick follow-up via text. This works whether you’re reaching to a motivated seller, cash buyer, or student lead.
Let Texting Prompt the Action
If your email includes a scheduling link or a landing page, remind them in a text. Keep the texts simple, friendly, and actionable.
Create a Light Drip Sequence
No responses? Space out a few follow-up emails, each paired with a friendly reminder text. Use the emails to continue educating or showcasing value.
