Navigating the competitive landscape of today’s market as a small or medium enterprise is no small feat. Having worked closely with numerous SMBs over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how innovative communication strategies can make or break customer relationships.

I recall a local bakery struggling to boost weekday sales. They had a loyal weekend crowd but wanted better traffic from Monday to Thursday. By shifting from generic bulk texting to personalized SMS campaigns using OpenVBX, we tailored messages based on customer purchase history and preferences. The results were striking: a 25% increase in weekday foot traffic within three months. Customers appreciated the relevance—a feeling that the bakery wasn’t just sending ads but genuinely connecting.
