Email & SMS in One Place: How to Run Campaigns That Actually Convert

3 min read

Infinity3 Platform
Email is still one of the most effective ways to reach your audience — but only if your messages get opened, read, and acted on.

Text messages? Even better. Most people read them within minutes.

But for many small businesses, running campaigns means juggling tools: Mailchimp for email, a separate app for SMS, and nothing really talking to each other.

The Infinity3 Platform solves this by giving you one simple place to create, send, and manage both email and SMS campaigns — fully connected to your CRM, inbox, automations, and calendar.

Why Unified Messaging Matters

Here’s what happens when your systems aren’t connected:

  • You send an email, but can’t see if the contact replied via text
  • You want to send an SMS reminder, but don’t have an easy way to filter who needs it
  • Your CRM tags aren’t synced with your campaigns, so personalisation is patchy

The result? Messages feel impersonal, clunky, or just don’t get delivered.

When everything lives in the same platform — your contacts, tags, email templates, SMS settings — your communication becomes faster, smoother, and more effective.

What You Can Do with Email & SMS in Infinity3

✅ Send one-off broadcasts to your whole list or a specific group
✅ Automate nurture sequences after a form fill, booking, or trigger
✅ Remind clients about upcoming appointments or events
✅ Follow up after purchases or services
✅ Send internal alerts to your team via SMS or email

The Power of Personalisation

Because everything connects to your CRM, every message can be personalised using dynamic fields — like first name, appointment time, service type, or location.

Example:

Hi Sarah, just a quick reminder that your coaching session is tomorrow at 3pm. Click here if you need to reschedule.

It’s fast, friendly, and makes your clients feel like you’re speaking just to them — even when the message is automated.

Creating a Broadcast: Step-by-Step

1. Choose Email or SMS

You can run either channel independently, or combine both into a multi-touch campaign.

2. Select Your Audience

Use smart lists, tags, or filter rules to target exactly the right people.

Examples:

  • Everyone tagged “New Lead
  • Clients who haven’t booked in 60+ days
  • All contacts with a specific product or service interest

3. Write Your Message

For email: use the drag-and-drop builder or plain text editor
For SMS: keep it short, clear, and action-oriented

You can also add buttons, images, or personalisation tokens.

4. Send Now or Schedule

Choose to send immediately or set it for later (e.g. next morning, day before a holiday, etc.)

5. Track Results

See open rates, click-throughs, replies, and opt-outs directly in your dashboard.

Automation-Driven Messaging

You can also tie email and SMS into your workflows.

Examples:

  • New enquiry ➜ welcome email ➜ follow-up SMS 1 day later
  • Appointment booked ➜ confirmation email ➜ reminder SMS 24 hours before
  • Review request ➜ SMS with link to Google profile

Because the platform handles both channels, you’re always in sync — no matter where your contact replies.

Compliance Made Easy

Infinity3 includes tools to help you stay compliant:

  • Unsubscribe links for emails
  • Opt-out replies for SMS
  • Tracking logs of message delivery
  • Contact consent tracking in the CRM

This keeps you in line with GDPR and helps you build trust with your audience.

Pro Tips

  • Use short, helpful SMS for time-sensitive messages (reminders, alerts)
  • Use email for longer content (newsletters, offers, education)
  • Keep subject lines clear — avoid clickbait
  • Test send times to find your best response window
  • Always have one clear call-to-action per message

Wrapping Up

With the Infinity3 Platform, you no longer need to patch together tools just to send a few messages. Everything you need — contacts, segments, message templates, tracking — is all in one place.

That means less hassle for you, and a better, more consistent experience for your clients.

Whether you want to nurture leads, reduce no-shows, or just stay top of mind, combining email and SMS marketing under one roof makes it easy.
