What You Can Send

The right message. The right customer.
At the right moment.

RetailWings SMS is built into your business data β€” so every message you send is informed by real customer behaviour, purchase history and account activity.

πŸ“£ Promotions "Send a flash sale SMS to all customers who bought electronics in the last 6 months." Target by purchase history, product category, spending level or branch β€” send to exactly the right segment, not your entire database.
πŸ’° Payment Reminders "Auto-send a personalised SMS to every customer with an overdue invoice." Triggered automatically from your accounts module β€” each SMS includes the customer's name, amount owed and due date. No manual list required.
🧾 Transactional "Notify every customer the moment their order is confirmed or invoice is issued." Auto-triggered by business events β€” order placed, invoice sent, payment received, delivery dispatched. Keeps customers informed at every step.
πŸŽ‚ Loyalty & Retention "Send a birthday discount SMS to every customer on their birthday β€” automatically." Birthday, anniversary and win-back campaigns run automatically from your CRM. Set it once β€” RetailWings does the rest, every day.
πŸ“¦ Inventory Alerts "Alert customers when a product they wanted is back in stock." Link waitlist customers to inventory. When a product is restocked, RetailWings automatically sends an SMS to every interested customer β€” driving instant sales.
🏒 Branch Campaigns "Send a location-specific promo SMS to customers near our Abuja branch only." Target customers by the branch they shop at most β€” so your Abuja promotion reaches Abuja customers, not your entire Lagos database.
⚠️ Low Stock Alerts "Auto-SMS our procurement team when any product drops below reorder level." Internal SMS alerts for your team β€” low stock, overdue jobs, SLA breaches β€” keeping operations running without anyone needing to check a dashboard.
πŸ—“οΈ Scheduled Campaigns "Schedule our end-of-month sale SMS to go out at 7 AM on the 30th." Schedule campaigns days or weeks in advance. Set time, segment and message β€” RetailWings sends it automatically at the right moment.
