Build an SMS list that actually buys

Klaviyo and Attentive capture phone numbers for promotional messaging — blasts, flows, and campaigns that link to your store. AudienceTap captures subscribers for a purchasing channel. Your text list becomes a direct sales channel where customers buy by replying, not by clicking links.

AudienceTap supports age-gated opt-in flows and industry-specific consent requirements. Subscribers go through compliant signup processes appropriate for regulated product categories before they can receive purchasing texts.

It depends on your channels. Brands with physical presence — events, tasting rooms, packaging — see the fastest growth through QR codes and keyword opt-in. Online-first brands grow through website forms, social media, and checkout opt-in. Most brands reach actionable list size within 4–8 weeks.

No. Payment is optional at signup. When a subscriber makes their first text purchase, AudienceTap guides them through a mobile-friendly checkout with Apple Pay and Google Pay. After that, every purchase is a text reply.

Yes. Every subscriber gets a personal referral link they can share with friends and family. AudienceTap includes a referral dashboard where subscribers can customize their share link, send referral emails directly, and track rewards earned from successful referrals — both for the referrer and the new subscriber.

Two approaches work well together. First, send an announcement email about your new text-to-buy program to drive general awareness. Second — and more effective — tease an upcoming drop a day or two before it goes live: "Tomorrow we're dropping [product], exclusive to text subscribers." A concrete, desirable product drives more signups than a generic "join our VIP list." This works across email, existing SMS lists, and social media.
