This has been a long time in the making! Over the last year the Privy product team has been working with a small group of ecommerce businesses to figure out exactly what they needed in a text messaging product. Because honestly.... we once thought text messaging would be annoying. But our early customers proved us wrong. And that's when Privy Text was born. So today we're not just launching Privy Text but our **blueprint for getting started with text message marketing** (free when you purchase Privy Text). It has a ton of research and plays specifically designed for small or growing ecommerce brands. Pricing starts at just $10/month. Like I said, you get the guide too – which means Privy Text is the easiest way to start generating online sales with text message marketing. And that's something to get excited about :) Please let us know if you have any questions!

Super excited to be a part of this launch and seeing what Privy has become -- from a pop-up tool to now the most powerful growth platform for small & growing ecommerce brands with pop-ups + email + text. One way to think about it is this: Shopify = your store. Privy = how you get people there. Hope you give Privy Text a try for your Shopify store or side hustle today :)

Big day here at Privy. We started by helping merchants convert more site traffic into leads. The original channel was email. Over time, small ecom brands started asking us for more, and we answered by expanding the Privy suite with Privy email, and today, Privy text.

So cool to make this accessible to smaller brands, give them the power the big brands have to level the playing field

cool video. cool idea. wish you the best

Tobi Lutke, CEO of Shopify, once tweeted: "Email lists and website are the two only things you can own on the internet. Everything else is just rented." ☝️We liked that tweet so much we framed it and hung it up in our office. But, in 2020, there's one more channel we'd like to add to that list: text message marketing. Beyond excited to be a part of this launch, and to see what our customers do with this brand new channel! Hope you give it a try :)

Awesome work! The accessibility for small teams will make for tons of different use cases. Can't wait to see how this shakes out.

Awesome stuff, excited to try this out, and see it out in the market!

Congrats you guys! Making yet another channel accessible to entrepreneurs :)

Congratulations @d_j_murphy @davegerhardt @jabbawy @evelyn_hartz1 for this new product. Businesses forget one single fact about Text Messaging: You can potentially reach 5.9 Billion around the globe with it[1]. And 82% of consumers keep SMS notifications switched on[2]. So, texting can be a huge traffic driver for your ecommerce store, and with the powerful combination of Privy and Shopify, you can improve dramatically the shopping experience for your customers. Well done, Privy crew. [1] https://assets.ctfassets.net/2fc... [2] https://assets.ctfassets.net/2fc...

Congrats Privy team, this is an awesome tool! Loved being part of the beta and super pumped to keep using this going forward. Amazing work!

Congrats to the Privy team. Its been fun to watch the progression as Privy moved from just pop-ups into a full marketing sweet. SMS is HUGE!

Love this. Text messages (not SMS 👀).

This looks super interesting and exciting! I think it's the logical next step in communication for vendor and customer, especially with marketing becoming more and more conversational, in that one-way communication conversion points such as forms dying out. Great work!

2 way texting with customers?

80% of texts get opened. Suck it, email
