As emails and social media ads have become less effective, retailers are increasingly turning to texts, the once-private domain reserved for conversations with family and friends.

o you bought some Dr. Squatch soap. That’s just a start. Dr. Squatch wants more from your relationship. Dr. Squatch wants to text you.

“Brands are realizing that there’s at least a subset of their audience, if not the majority of their audience, that would prefer to be contacted through this way,” said Adam Turner, CEO of Postscript, which powers text-message marketing for Dr. Squatch and other retailers. Most retailers are using texts to send weekly promotions, which may just be a distilled version of their emails written by somebody with a taste for capital letters, presumably for emphasis. “THIS WKND: Shop up to 20% off select outdoor furniture & accessories,” wrote home furnishings brand CB2 in one recent text. “Your 15% OFF sitewide coupon expires soon, Love!” exclaimed Lulus, an online apparel retailer. From Michaels: “Spring for everything! Take 50% off all spring items and save.

Retailers, wary that irritating their customers doesn’t blaze an easy path to more sales, monitor unsubscribe rates closely. For instance, Dr. Squatch may send its most loyal customers three messages a week. But if it notices someone has lost interest and isn’t engaging, it will scale back. “We don’t want to inundate people,” said Cody Griffin, Dr. Squatch’s senior director of marketing.

Elon Musk teases buying more companies, including Coca-Cola... to add back the cocaineFollowing his purchase of Twitter for $44 billion, Tesla CEO Elon Musk teased buying more iconic American companies in order to ostensibly restore them – even suggesting that he might buy Coca-Cola in order to reintroduce cocaine into the ingredients of the soft drink. Remember Tesla is a brand. And when a brand becomes affiliated with empowering despots like Trump and the Insurrection—while pretending to defend free speech—there are consequences. Welcome to capitalism. This is a tweet not a news 😵‍💫 🤣🤣🤣
