SMS is one of the most powerful marketing channels, with high open rates, strong conversions, and instant reach. But even if you’re not sending campaigns yet, collecting SMS consent through your waiver system sets you up for future success. When guests sign your digital waiver, it’s the perfect time to capture SMS opt-ins effortlessly and compliantly, building a ready-to-use audience for when you’re ready to launch.
Be compliant from day one
SMS marketing is regulated in many regions. By securing opt-ins at the waiver stage, you stay compliant and have the flexibility to launch campaigns whenever you’re ready, without chasing down permissions later.
Boost your opt-in rates with incentives
Many operators see opt-in rates as high as 75% by offering small incentives like discounts, prize draws, or freebies. These simple perks encourage guests to opt in immediately, building a larger, more engaged list.
Here are a few examples of how operators are encouraging opt-ins:
Why SMS works
SMS messages cut through the noise. With a 91% open rate (compared to 28% for email), 35% higher conversions, and three times the click-throughs, SMS connects directly with your guests in a way few other channels can.

Once you have opt-ins, you can:
- Send timely review requests to boost your online reputation
- Drive repeat bookings with personalized offers and reminders
- Automate campaigns to save your team time and effort
