How GiftLoop Works

🛍️

1. Customer Makes Purchase

When a customer buys a gift from your store, they complete checkout as normal.

📱

2. Clear SMS Consent

After checkout, customers who check the SMS box see: "By clicking below, you agree to receive 2 automated marketing text messages about this gift reminder. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel, HELP for help." The box is unchecked by default — they must actively opt in.

🎁

3. Multi-Channel Reminders

Next year, they receive up to 2 reminders — at 14 days and 7 days before the occasion — by whichever channels they opted into, each with an optional discount code to encourage repeat purchase.

📧 + 📱 Smart Multi-Channel Strategy

GiftLoop uses email and SMS strategically for maximum effectiveness while maintaining compliance

📧 14 Days Before

"🎁 Hi Sarah, your anniversary is coming up on Sept 15 (2 weeks away)! Save 10% with code GIFT14. Browse our collection: [store-url]"

Sent by: Email, and SMS too if the customer opted in to text reminders.

📱 7 Days Before

"⏰ Sarah, just 7 days until your anniversary! Save 15% with GIFT7: [store-url] Reply STOP to opt out"

Sent by: Email, and SMS too if the customer opted in to text reminders.

✨ Why This Strategy Works

  • Two Touchpoints: A first reminder at 14 days, a second at 7 days as the date gets closer
  • Customer's Choice: Each touch goes out by whichever channels the customer opted into at checkout
  • Escalating Discounts: Merchants can set a larger discount for the closer touch
  • Compliance Friendly: Every message includes clear opt-out instructions

📱 SMS & Email Messaging Compliance

GiftLoop is fully compliant with TCPA, CAN-SPAM, CTIA, and carrier requirements

  • EXPRESS CONSENT REQUIRED: Customers must explicitly opt-in to receive messages. Simply providing a phone number is NOT consent. Customers must take an affirmative action (checking a box, clicking "Set Reminder") with clear disclosure of message frequency and content.
  • MESSAGE FREQUENCY: Customers will receive 1-2 messages per occasion they sign up for (14 days and 7 days before). Messages are sent 7 days apart. Transactional reminders only - no promotional content unless specifically requested.
  • OPT-OUT MECHANISM: Every SMS includes "Reply STOP to unsubscribe" - opt-outs are processed immediately and automatically. Email includes clear unsubscribe links. We maintain suppression lists to prevent re-messaging opted-out users.
  • MESSAGE CONTENT: Messages contain: Store name, reminder purpose, days until occasion, optional discount code, and opt-out instructions. No deceptive content or third-party advertising.
  • DATA RATES DISCLOSURE: "Message and data rates may apply" is clearly displayed at opt-in and in terms of service.
  • SAMPLE OPT-IN LANGUAGE: "By clicking below, you agree to receive 2 automated marketing text messages about this gift reminder. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel, HELP for help."
  • RECOMMENDED MESSAGING STRATEGY:
    • 14 Days Before: "🎁 [Store Name]: Hi [Name], your anniversary is coming up on Sept 15 (2 weeks away). Get ready early! Use code GIFT14 for 10% off your gift. Shop: [store-url]" — sent by email, and SMS if opted in
    • 7 Days Before: "⏰ [Store Name]: Final reminder! Your anniversary is in 7 days. Don't forget - use code GIFT7 for 15% off. Shop: [store-url] Reply STOP to unsubscribe." — sent by email, and SMS if opted in
    • Strategy: Two touches, 14 days and 7 days before, sent through whichever channels the customer opted into
  • HELP SUPPORT: Reply HELP to SMS messages for support. Email: [email protected]
  • NO SHARING: Phone numbers and emails are NEVER sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
  • ⚠️ STATE RESTRICTIONS: SMS reminders are currently unavailable for residents of Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, Washington, and Tennessee due to state registration and bonding requirements. Customers in these states will still receive email reminders. We apologize for any inconvenience and are working to expand our coverage.

✅ Our Opt-In Process (TCPA Compliant)

  1. Post-Purchase Timing: Widget appears on thank-you page after purchase is complete
  2. Clear Value Proposition: "Never forget this occasion again! We'll remind you next year"
  3. 100% Optional: No pre-checked boxes, customer must actively choose to participate
  4. Manual Entry Required: Customer types their email/phone number voluntarily
  5. Explicit Consent Button: Must click "Set Reminder" to opt-in for annual reminders
  6. Immediate Confirmation: "✨ Perfect! Reminder set for next year" confirms successful opt-in
  7. Full Compliance: Records timestamp and consent details for TCPA compliance

Note: Listing SMS in Terms of Service is NOT sufficient. Express consent with clear disclosure is required by law and carrier policies.
