I'm sure you've either sent or received a text today. Most of us can't even imagine a world without texting in it! So why not tap into one of the most used forms of communication for marketing purposes since most Americans (97%) have a mobile phone, 85% of which are smartphones, and (92%) are text messaging? So what is P2P messaging, and why should we care? This blog will explain P2P text messaging, how it works, and why you should take advantage of it!

P2P stands for Peer-to-Peer text messaging, which is personalized texting between individuals. So, how does this differ from other texts? Unlike the mass texts you may receive from shops you've purchased from, things you have subscribed to, or from a group or organization, P2P involves direct communication.

How does it work?

In Peer-to-Peer (P2P) messaging, the network directs data directly from one user to another, ensuring the conversation remains private. This method promotes personalized, one-on-one interactions, unlike traditional bulk texting. And yes, P2P mobile communications are entirely legal and compliant with all FCC regulations, provided they are used responsibly and not for commercial solicitation.

How and why to use it

Many organizations use P2P texting, including political parties, fundraisers, event organizers, nonprofits, and advocacy groups. However, this is not limited to these groups. One of the biggest strengths of P2P is the level of personalization it creates, allowing the recipient to feel more of an intimate connection. It allows for one-on-one interaction, creating more of a bond with the recipient and the brand or mission portrayed in these texts, making them highly more likely to contribute meaningfully. By customizing the content of the text message according to the recipient's preferences, demographics, or past interactions, the chances of their engagement and response are greatly improved.

By tailoring the content of the text message based on the recipient's preferences, demographics, or past interactions, the likelihood of their engagement and response significantly increases. This level of customization helps senders achieve their desired outcomes, whether it be increasing sales, driving website traffic, gathering feedback, or motivating a particular action. Critical practices for P2P texting campaigns should include establishing clear goals and objectives and Segmenting your audience.

As you can see, P2P texting offers many benefits, including personalized communication, high open and response rates, flexibility and scalability, cost-effectiveness, real-time feedback and insights, excellent deliverability, and increased conversion rates. Nucleus partners with top providers to give you and your team the best options for your operations. Now is the perfect time to leverage these tools and reach your target audience effectively with Nucleus!

Taking your unsubscribe to the next level

By Julia, Deliverability Expert

At Campaign Nucleus, we make it a point to never force industry-recommendations on to you while creating and sending your emails. We previously discussed the legal importance of including an unsubscribe link in every email we send. Since then, we have improved our system and now offer an optional one-click unsubscribe feature that you may choose to implement.

I’m sure you are wondering: What is the difference between this feature and the unsubscribe link we already use?

Well… currently, when a recipient clicks the unsubscribe link, they are redirected to a page where they may enter their email and they will be immediately unsubscribed. In the case of a one-click unsubscribe, a user may click the link and will be immediately unsubscribed without being redirected to another page to do so.

While this is not an industry standard or policy, it is highly recommended. This is dominantly because it is a simpler route of unsubscribing which ensures people who intended to be unsubscribed do so properly. In some cases of a double-opted unsubscribe link, some users may accidentally remain subscribed, and this can lead to an increase in user complaints which can affect your domain and IP reputation.

LET’S TALK ABOUT AUTOMATION

How to clean your recipient list without doing ANYTHING…

Have you ever wanted to send out routine emails without going through the trouble of setting up a whole new email and the appropriate recipient audience over & over & over again?

Well… you may have heard of Nucleus’ fun new automation series feature & this may just be the answer you’ve been looking for!

This feature allows you to select a trigger & design a whole series of emails that recipients who fall in that triggers category will receive.

Currently, some triggers we have available within Nucleus and their uses are:

• When a user subscribes
  • This trigger allows us to routinely email new subscribers to our lists

• When a user has opened an email
  • This trigger allows us to re-engage with users who have recently engaged with another email

Some more triggers include:

If a profile has a tag

Now, I want to take some time to discuss 2 automation series that can help to improve your deliverability if used properly.

Before we jump in, I want to reiterate the importance of QUALITY > QUANTITY when it comes to our recipient email lists. Automation series’ can help us to unsubscribe unengaged or expired emails & it is key to remember that this is an advantage and not a weakness; recipients who do not engage with your emails are a waste of money and can actually hurt your deliverability.

Anyways, the two most important series you can utilize within your email marketing techniques is:

1. Welcome Series
2. Re-engagement Series

These 2 types of series offer very different and irreplaceable value to your marketing endeavors. Let’s review some of the functionality that they provide.

A welcome series should be used to introduce “yourself” & your mission. This is a time for you to confirm that someone intended to subscribe to your list. If they didn’t mean to, this gives them time to unsubscribe rather than complain to email serves about your messages later. This is also a great time to locate recipient interests and pre-empt them on what type of content they will be receiving & how often.

A re-engagement series should be used to locate your disinterested and expired subscriber emails. People’s interests change & so do their emails. For these reasons, it is important to check in from time to time with your less engaged emails. In many cases, people will set a series of emails that recipients who have not opened or clicked an email in a certain amount of days will go through. I usually recommend 180 days, but that can be made a longer or shorter period of time, depending on what you and your marketing team think is best.

Segments & the importance of ALWAYS being selective

Nucleus has been uniquely designed to help you gather data that will specifically help you to best manage your campaign & affiliated goals. By utilizing our tools and features properly, you will be able to reach your most valuable supporters in the most efficient manner.

With that in mind, I would like to take some time to review the usefulness in one of CN’s oldest & most useful features: Segments.

Our system compiles the data you have provided upon initial setup of your account & any additional information we have been able to collect, through recipient engagement patterns & landing page responses. From here, you have the decision as to whether or not you’d like to apply this information. This is where segments come into play…

Segments allow us to reach our desired demographic, location, and biggest supporters with ease.

Let’s discuss how…

If you are planning on hosting an event in a specific region, does it make sense to send invitations to residents who live hours away? Not really.

If you are holding a public speech for a candidate in New Jersey, would you ask residents of California to attend? Definitely not.

Our segment feature allows you to create an audience of one (or more) select state(s) & it even allows you to limit your audience range to a specific zip code or radius. See below for some examples:

Building up your Email Subscribers Without Breaking Down your Domain

By Julia, Deliverability Expert

When it comes to expanding your email subscriber list for marketing content, remember that QUALITY OVER QUANTITY is not just a saying but a strategy that can empower your marketing efforts. By focusing on quality, you ensure that your messages reach the right audience, increasing the chances of engagement and conversion.

I understand the temptation to construct a list of millions of people to ensure your marketing success, BUT without the correct methods of email collection, you can actually hurt your success rather than help.

Let’s talk about why…

Recipients who do not wish to be emailed often respond negatively to emails, even when you are careful to avoid common spam triggers within your content. This can mean that they report you as spam or notify the server that they do not wish to receive your email; this can cause blocks & lower our domain/IP reputation. If they choose to delete without opening or refuse to engage (opening, clicking, saving in folders, etc.) with the email, it can also have poor consequences. That tells the server that they are not interested in your content, and it can hurt your inbox placement, even with previously engaging emails.

DO… subscribe users who have signed onto your email list on their own will

**feel free to even offer them the opportunity to confirm their subscription

​DON’T… offer incentives, such as prizes, for people to sign up

​​**Subscribers rarely engage long-term with this route of email collection

DO… regularly sort through and unsubscribe unengaged recipients 

**If they aren’t helping your cause, they are hurting it

​DON’T… purchase email lists

**These lists often include duplicate, invalid, expired, or foreign emails that likely have no interest in supporting your cause

If you’re ever wondering if someone would be a “good” subscriber or a “bad” subscriber, ask yourself this: Would this person bring valuable interactions to my email campaigns?
