The app is fantastic, and Joe has gone above and beyond over the last two years for us, with adding custom features we knew we were one of the only ones asking for it. SMS has amazing ROI, if you aren't already using it, don't wait. Specifically this app stands out because it imports all your shopify contacts automatically, while most of the larger more expensive apps do not. I only have amazing things to say about Winback SMS + the support team.

I actually really like this app and it has helped us with abandoned sales and as a great check-in with customers after they purchased....BUT you do need to check your responses and text people back. So it's great for customer interaction, but in turn, you also need/want to manually text/re-engage your customers. So it's a new task added to the daily customer service. I am not really sure how it stacks up to other text marketing options but I do know this one is very easy and straightforward. And mainly, I felt compelled to write this review because I was blown away when the developer sent a customized video on my account/sales performance and which settings I should change to make it better. That is something you don't see often. I followed his recommendations exactly and it's working. I added the app to all 3 of my stores (Canada, US, Europe), so I guess I am a mega user. Drawbacks: It would be nice for a little more customization. Right now on the abandoned sales capture, it shows a really distorted version of our logo which I really hate so I'm still working on fixing that. But the text function is a great funnel that works quite well. I would probably rate a 4/5 but with the customized service, It deserves a 5. And who knows, maybe the developer will even read this and help me fix my distorted logo!

I love this app, it has really helped my business to grow. I love how it wins the customers back! I was afraid to use the app at first, but I'm glad I did. The customer support is amazing!

Thanks for your review! I took a look at your messages and have a couple suggestions/comments: 1) First, great job replying to your responses. Most merchants just ignore the SMS responses. But I see you're going the extra mile by replying and giving advice to your customers on how to use the products. If you're not already, you can just email-reply to the email notification about the response, and that will get sent off as a text to the customer 2) You're already getting a great ROI, but if you wanted to save some money, you don't need to have product images in all 3 of your abandoned cart messages. The reason for this is that your shopper gets texted from the same number each time. And so they'll see the abandoned product image on the 1st message, and then the subsequent messages can just be text since they'll be in the same thread as the 1st message on their phone. Each product image counts as 2 message credits, so you can save yourself 4 credits if you disable the product image on the 2nd and 3rd abandoned cart message. 3) I took the liberty of cutting down your 1st abandoned cart message, so that it fits within 160 characters. This will save you a message credit :) Hi {FIRST_NAME}, it's Ebony's Beauty Hair&Skin. Still want {PRODUCT}? Get it here {CHECKOUT_LINK} Reply STOP to unsubscribe 4) Finally you're including a discount code in your abandoned cart messages, which is great. It gets automatically populated at checkout for your shoppers that click on the link. However you're not mentioning it in your message. Your shoppers are more likely to click the link if they know a coupon is waiting for them at that link :)

Thanks so much for your review. I hope you don't mind me sharing that the app made $60K for you in the 2 months that you've had it! I wish we can make a case study of how you're using the app because you're obviously killing it with SMS! Regardless I do have a couple suggestions for you to optimize it even further... In addition to what I told you about the product images in your abandoned cart messages, let me also suggest turning on abandoned browsers. Right now you're just messaging people who abandoned a checkout. But the majority of your visitors won't even add to their carts. You can reach these visitors with a mobile popup. It can get triggered after 60 seconds of looking at a product. With 2 quick taps, the shopper can get a discount code texted to them to buy the product they’re browsing. The message is fully customized, so the shopper thinks this you're giving him a discount for this exact product he was considering. And if they don't buy, the abandoned cart message sequence kicks in to remind him of the precise product he was looking at! It's super-effective in getting visitors at the top of the funnel. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you start getting more sales from abandoned browsers than from abandoned checkouts.

Thank you for your kind review. I just looked at your stats and messages, and sent you the following suggestions to optimize your account: 1) You don't need to have product images in both of your abandoned cart messages. The reason for this is that your shopper gets texted from the same number each time. And so they'll see the abandoned product image on the 1st message, and then the subsequent messages can just be text since they'll be in the same thread as the 1st message on their phone. Turning off the product image for your 2nd message will save you some money :) 2) To save additional money, see if you can keep your 2nd message below 160 chars. For example, if you replaced "Please use code "15OFF" for 15% Off today if you're still interested." with more concise text like "15% off at this link", you'll be under 160 chars 3) I recommend turning on a 2nd winback message. The subsequent winback messages (ex 30 days later) can be used for selling since you're already using the 1st message 1 day after delivery for a followup.

Thanks for your review. We only have 1 negative review (from the person below you) who hacked our system to use the app for free for 5 months and is now upset because they're being asked to pay $14/month lol In regards to our conversations, hope your broadcasts with textmagic go well. It's good you were able to find a cheaper alternative for SMS blasts to the UK. We charge $0.08/message for the UK which should get you a very positive ROI if you just used our app for abandoned cart and winback messages. But broadcasts to your entire subscriber list can be tricky when you have tens of thousands of subscribers. Let me know if you have any trouble exporting your subscribers

Thanks for mentioning your ROI. What's great is that you're only sending SMS messages to abandoned checkouts. If you sent out other messages like abandoned browsers, winbacks, etc, you'll get even more sales. Lots of upside for you!

This app is a game changer. 6 days of having the app installed I have already made an extra 600. I love the winback feature my customers love that I follow up with their purchase. I was not having much success with opening rate with email but with text im getting very positive responses. This app is so easy to install and Joe is there giving pointers on how to make my store even better. I would highly recommend

I have used this company's other app for Facebook Messenger and really liked the increase in sales from that. I have only had the Winback app for a few days and already have seen a huge jump in income. Not to mention, Joe is great! He is always there to help and will jump on a Zoom call to go over everything you might need. I'm looking forward to what we do after 30 days.

Thanks John :) So pleased to see the app make almost 50 sales for you in just a couple weeks! That's as good as the FB Messenger app when everyone had prechecked status. Thanks for all the great feedback and suggestions (ex being able to segment based on collections... we are still working on that one)

I was paying $50 a month plus commission on another app before. I am glad to find this one because its much cheaper and does so much more. And you are in control. Already made an extra $600 from using it in few days. Going to add to my 2nd webstore too. Highly recommend it.

Thank you so much for your review! There are plenty of other good SMS apps out there as you've seen. I think what really sets us apart is our abandoned browser feature which no one else has. Capturing abandoned browsers (people who never added-to-cart) make up 38% of the sales that SMS has made for you! As a thank-you for posting a review, I'm happy to give you a custom phone number for your abandoned browser messages. Let me know what area code you'd like and I'll try to procure it :)

I just started using Winback and I have already had several conversions in the first 2 days, wow what a start to my SMS strategy. I also was able to fully customize and get the app going in less than an hour so it is really easy to get started. Joe the developer offered to do a call with me to go over both my Facebook and Windback apps by the same developer and he always helps with any issues. Highly recommended :-)

Support from this app has been amazing. Took the time to hop on a Zoom call and answer some setup questions and got me squared away. More importantly are the sales this app has generated, over $250 so far in the free trial period. The best SMS app I have tried hands down.

I like how you're using every one of our features (abandoned carts, abandoned browsers, winback, campaigns), and that each of them is making sales! From one small business owner to another, thank you. I'm glad we can partner to make a positive impact on each other's businesses during these uncertain times :)

So glad to see you getting hundreds of sales through the app! And you're accomplishing this without even using the Abandoned Browser feature. Feel free to try it. A mobile popup gets triggered after 10 seconds of looking at a product. With 2 taps, the shopper can get a discount code texted to them to buy the product they’re browsing. And if they don't buy, your abandoned cart sequence kicks in. You should get another instant boost by turning this on :)

This is the second app I have used from Joe and it doesn't disappoint. The headaches of abandoned carts are in the past!! Super customizable, sends photos of items left behind and everything. This app has been a life saver and I'm so glad I decided to install it. Get to installing y'all!

Thanks for your kind review! I hope you don't mind me sharing that the app has generated 300+ sales for you already from both abandoned cart recoveries and post-purchase winback messages! Would love to see you send a campaign to a segment like customers. You can use one of our prebuilt segments like customers who bought without using a discount code. Happy to walk you through it over a zoom call sometime if you'd like

Thank you for your kind review! You have some interesting segments that you can send campaigns to (ex customers who spent between $100 and $500 with you). I put 100 message credits in your account to help you get started with campaigns if you'd like. Or you can just use them towards the automated abandoned cart and winback messages which are both converting very well for you currently! :)

I was nervous about using an app like this because I did not want to wear my customers down with text on top of other communication. But it works really well. Joe has been fantastic in his support and responsiveness as well. I actually ended up trying another app by another company a few months after I installed this one, as they had big promises on features. But once I installed it, there was 0 support and the features did not work as well as the demo showed. I contacted Joe and he actually added the features to his app for me and I moved back to his app. Highly recommend.
