Back-in-stock notifications can be sent through different channels. One of the critical factors of an excellent back-in-stock notification app is the number of channels it provides. Having many options allows you to cater to different shopper preferences. Specific shoppers don't want to give personal details like phone numbers, while others have preferred channels they like to get updates on.

With multiple channels, you can let shoppers choose their preferences and deliver a positive experience, ensuring higher subscriptions. In Restockify, we have provided you with three different channels to help you decrease your lost sales. Let me quickly go over these three channels:

Email is one of eCommerce businesses' most personalized and common communication channels. Shoppers who subscribe to a store's emails are more engaged with the store, and the customized message makes it less likely to be ignored.

This is why emails are the perfect channel to let your shoppers know about in-stock updates. Personalized emails have a 39% higher average open rate than emails that aren't personalized. By using emails to send back-in-stock alerts, you can connect with your shoppers better and send a personalized message that will bring in purchases.

SMS is one of the oldest marketing channels, and unlike other channels, it doesn't need the internet to be sent. You can send an SMS to your shopper's mobile via their mobile carrier. With its mobile-specific platform and immediate delivery, SMS is a great platform to venture into, especially if your customer base is primarily local.

SMS produces engagement rates 6-8 times higher than retailers typically achieve via email marketing.
