Email and SMS by SalesChef
Is SalesChef a marketing automation platform?
No. SalesChef does not send, segment or schedule. Your platform does that. SalesChef creates the emails, texts, pop-ups and product blocks that go inside it.
Email and SMS by SalesChef
Email and SMS that sell the product.
Email and SMS marketing for retail is a message sent to people who agreed to hear from you, built around one product or one moment. It works when each message leads with why that product suits the person reading, shows true facts, and arrives in the right flow. SalesChef is not a marketing automation platform. SalesChef creates every email, SMS, pop-up and message, from the product’s checked facts, and loads it into the platform you already use.

What is email and SMS marketing for retail?
Messages to people who opted in, about products they might want. Platforms decide who gets what and when. The words, facts and product blocks inside each message decide whether it sells.
Launch and campaign emails
One product or range, one moment, one clear next step.
Flows
Welcome, browse, cart and post-purchase messages that run on their own, each with product-specific words.
SMS
Short texts for a drop, a back-in-range moment or a seasonal push. Every character counts.
Pop-ups
The small message on the page that introduces a product or invites a sign-up.
What makes email and SMS work
One product, one moment
Open on the season, occasion or job the product does. A message about everything is read as about nothing.
Why this shopper buys
Lead with the reason this reader chooses this product. The spec backs it up further down.
Facts that match the page
The email, the text and the product page tell the same true story. A mismatch costs the sale at the click.
Fit the channel
Email can tell a story. SMS gets one idea and one link. A pop-up gets a line. Make each one for its own space.
Honor consent
Send only to people who opted in, and make opting out easy. US law requires honoring an opt-out within 10 business days.
Measure gross profit
Judge a send on the margin it added, not on opens and clicks alone.
SalesChef and your marketing platform do different jobs
Keep the platform. Add the product knowledge.

Questions about email and SMS
What is SMS marketing and how does it work?
Short text messages sent to people who opted in, usually through a platform that manages consent, timing and replies. Each message carries one idea and one link.
What is the best email and SMS marketing platform?
The one that fits your list, store and team. Klaviyo, Braze, Mailchimp, HubSpot, Attentive, Postscript and others all work with SalesChef, so you do not have to switch.
What should a retail email say?
One product, the moment it suits and the reason this reader would choose it, with true facts and one clear link. Anything else is a second email.
Are marketing texts and emails regulated?
Yes. In the US, CAN-SPAM applies to commercial email, including business-to-business, requires honoring an opt-out within 10 business days. Texts need consent too. Australia has the Spam Act. Your platform handles consent and unsubscribes.
