At inMobile, we love sharing knowledge about how SMS can empower business-critical processes. That's why we're happy to present this guest article from Emailpro, experts in email marketing and automation. In this article, they dive into how they help companies combine SMS and email to automate contract processes, reduce churn and ensure faster signatures. Read on for inspiration on how you can optimise your business with smart integrations.
At Emailpro, we work every day to optimise email marketing and automation for businesses across platforms like ActiveCampaign, Klaviyo and Mailchimp. We help companies set up effective email flows, segmentation, lead scoring and integrations that optimise the customer journey and create measurable results.
Our experience is extensive and we have helped companies such as Bühlmann Hotels, Nordic Seaplanes, Valsemøllen, Dyrenes Beskyttelse, Molt Wengel and Henne Kirkeby Kro improve their email marketing and automation strategies. We always focus on data-driven solutions that are customised to each company's needs.
Automated tendering and contracting processes
For many organisations, sending quotes and contracts to customers is a time-consuming process - and following up on them is even more time-consuming. That's why we help our customers set up quote and price calculators on their websites that automatically generate and send contracts for signature. This process ensures that customers quickly and easily receive an accurate quote and can sign the contract digitally without manual handling.
But even when contracts are sent, delays can still occur. Many customers simply forget to respond, which can prolong the sales process and create unnecessary bottlenecks.
Camilla, CEO at Emailpro, explains:
"We often see companies lose valuable contracts because contracts are not signed on time. By combining SMS reminders from InMobile with email marketing and automated price calculators, we ensure a more efficient and professional process with less churn."
This emphasises the importance of having a streamlined process that combines technology and automation to ensure companies don't miss out on potential deals.
SMS and email in interaction
To minimise drop-outs and ensure faster signatures, we combine emails with SMS reminders. With InMobile, we can send automated SMS messages that link directly to the customer's personalised contract, so the signature can be done with just a few clicks from the mobile. Statistics show that SMS has a 98% open rate and 90% of messages are read within three minutes (source: InMobile). This makes SMS one of the most effective channels for time-critical messages.
Stecks Tile Cleaning - a case study on effective SMS automation
Stecks Tile Cleaning, one of our customers, previously experienced that contracts were signed too slowly because customers had to be reminded manually. After implementing SMS reminders via InMobile, response times dropped significantly and contracts were signed faster. The result was a more efficient workflow and freed up time for other important tasks.

Seamless SMS integrations ensure a smooth customer journey
To create a seamless customer experience, it's crucial that SMS and emails work together. InMobile integrates directly with ActiveCampaign, which means messages can be sent at exactly the right times based on customer data. This way, companies can ensure a higher conversion rate and a more streamlined sales process without manual follow-up.
