Steal Our Holiday and Boxing Day SMS Templates to Ramp Up Purchases

If you're not already thinking about your Boxing Day SMS campaigns, now's the time to start!

We've created Boxing Day and holiday SMS templates for your retail or eCommerce store. Copy and paste these custom texts for your holiday season campaigns, as well as other promotional offers throughout November and December.
