- 0:44messages through Odo you'll need IAP
- 0:46credits or in other terms Ina purchase
- 0:48credits there's another tutorial and a
- 0:50documentation article Linked In the

- 0:53credits so be sure to check that out
- 0:55before you continue now as you can

- 0:58locked in for this database so let's
- 1:00jump over to the SMS marketing
- 1:02application and create a new SMS message
- 1:05so from this dashboard here all we need
- 1:06to do is click new in the upper left
- 1:08corner to create that new message and
- 1:10let's go ahead and say we have a big
- 1:12sale coming up but it's only for
- 1:13American customers because we have to
- 1:15cut back on our international shipping
- 1:17so let me show you how I can add and
- 1:19tell all my American customers about
- 1:21this sale with a text so we'll start by
- 1:23giving this SMS a title which will be
- 1:25for internal reference only the
- 1:27recipient won't see it so how about we
- 1:29go with some something like Black
- 1:32Friday sale and let's also go ahead and
- 1:35keep note that this is
- 1:37for us
- 1:41only next is the recipients field here
- 1:44here we can create rules that ODU uses
- 1:46as a guide to determine which of our
- 1:48contacts will be sent this message these
- 1:50rules can be as detailed or as simple as
- 1:53you'd like really depends on your target
- 1:54audience for the campaign now to learn
- 1:56more about these recipient rules and how
- 1:58to customize them to fit any check out
- 2:00our documentation in the link below if
- 2:03we click on the recipients field here
- 2:05which is currently set to mailing list
- 2:07by default we'll see a drop down of all
- 2:10the other options on our recipient
- 2:12criteria so I'll go ahead and start by
- 2:15clicking on sales order as the base for
- 2:17my recipient since I'm aiming for
- 2:18customers who have purchased our
- 2:19products before and then I'll click on
- 2:22this little right arrow next to the rule
- 2:25which allows me to change delete or add
- 2:27to the criteria here you'll see by
- 2:29default def fault that the first rule is
- 2:32status does not equal cancell that line
- 2:35tells Odo only to Target recipients who
- 2:37have sales order in the database that
- 2:39have never been cancelled so great start
- 2:41OD do while I'm here I'll need to create
- 2:43a new rule to Target only my American
- 2:45customers so to do that I'll select new
- 2:48rule and here we'll click in the
- 2:50salesperson field in the first field of
- 2:53course in the menu and then let's go
- 2:55ahead and put customer here and instead

- 3:51ahead and include our link to our shop
- 3:53right down below just to make it easy
- 3:54for our customers and with Odo link
- 3:57tracker we can track the links perform
- 3:59performance of this by using any URL by
- 4:02attaching some UTM to the link you can
- 4:04learn that about that in other
- 4:06tutorials now just to add some character
- 4:09let's also go ahead and add a little
- 4:11smiley face
- 4:12here and you'll notice down here Odo
- 4:15also tells us how many characters our
- 4:17message uses as well as how many SMS
- 4:20messages it'll take to deliver this
- 4:21content ideally we want to fit our
- 4:23message in one clean text that includes
- 4:25a clear call to action this is to
- 4:28improve deliverability and click the
- 4:29rates and also to save on your IAP
- 4:31credits now let's go ahead and save this
- 4:34manually and jump over to our settings
- 4:35tab here and within the settings tab
- 4:38we'll see a couple things and we first
- 4:40want to make sure to check the include
- 4:42optout link check
- 4:44box doing so gives our customers the
- 4:47ability to stop our messages and
- 4:49Communications from us if they so desire
- 4:52and that ladies and gentlemen is how we
- 4:54go ahead and create an SMS marketing
- 4:56campaign message now let me show you how
- 4:59we AB test and of course eventually send
- 5:02it so first if we jump into the AB
- 5:04testing tab here and allow AB testing
- 5:07through checking the Teck box here this
- 5:10reveals additional Fields first we'll
- 5:12determine our percentage of total
- 5:14recipients who will receive our original
- 5:17message we'll keep it at the default 10%
- 5:19for this video meaning a sample of 10%
- 5:21of recipients will receive the alternate
- 5:23version of this message then in the
- 5:25winter selection field right directly
- 5:27below we can choose the aspect of our
- 5:30message that ODU should review to
- 5:31determine the winning version for this
- 5:33example since we're telling people about
- 5:35an upcoming sale with a link to our
- 5:37store let's go ahead and choose
- 5:38quotations because I want to use the
- 5:40version that results in the most
- 5:42quotations which will hopefully turn
- 5:43into sales orders next directly on that
- 5:46we have the send final
- 5:48onfield that'll be used to determine the
- 5:50a winner and to send a more effective
- 5:53version of our message on the remaining
- 5:55recipients so let's go ahead and pick a
- 5:57date in the future and just keep moving
- 5:59forward here
- 6:00then on the right we can also go ahead
- 6:03and create an alternate version that
- 6:05takes us to the SMS content page for the
- 6:08alternate message which can be modified
- 6:10in different approaches phrases and just
- 6:12things like that so let's change this
- 6:14copy a little bit here let's add a new
- 6:16intro sentence something like of the
- 6:19same old furniture then we've got big
- 6:20news for you and just a further test
- 6:23let's go ahead and remove the Emoji to
- 6:25see what's more effective now when we
- 6:27hop back to the AB testing tab
- 6:30we'll see a breakdown of our test here
- 6:32on the right beneath that we can also go
- 6:34ahead and compare the alternate versions
- 6:36and take a closer look at the metrics
- 6:38related to one another or just even
- 6:40create another alternate version if we'd
- 6:42like now before we begin delivery it's a
- 6:45good idea to test the SMS internally
- 6:47just to catch any mistakes like typos or
- 6:49perhaps a broken link and you can go
- 6:51ahead and do that by clicking the test
- 6:52button at the top of the form and then
- 6:55of course entering a number or numbers
- 6:57to send to
- 7:00and that party people is how you can
- 7:02create a testing for an SMS marketing
- 7:04campaign now let's say you've created a
- 7:06couple versions of the message tested
- 7:08them out and you found the perfect one
- 7:10at that point you could wait for ODU to
- 7:12send the winning version on the date
- 7:13designated for the AB testing tab or if
- 7:16you're ready before then you could also
- 7:18go ahead and schedule your message
- 7:22through clicking schedule and selecting
- 7:24a date on what to send this message on
- 7:27or we can go ahead and click the send
- 7:29button here and go ahead and send this
- 7:32as soon as we're ready ODU will give us
- 7:34a popup here prompting us that it'll
- 7:36send it to our participants and if we
- 7:38are ready all we have to do is simply
- 7:40click Send to
- 7:41all when we do we're greeted with a blue
- 7:44Banner here at the top of the form
- 7:45letting us know that ODU will send our
- 7:47message as soon as possible and once the
- 7:49message is sent we can monitor various
- 7:51statistics related to it via the metrics
- 7:53related smart button that appears at the
- 7:55top of the
- 7:56page and there you have it OD doers
