Did you know that 98% of text messages are opened, compared to just 20% of emails? Fans are far more likely to see and engage with a text than an email buried in their inbox. Whether you're announcing a new single, sharing a presave link, or promoting a tour, SMS ensures your message gets seen—fast.
SMS marketing isn't just about reach—it delivers real results. Studies show that SMS campaigns drive 3x more engagement than email, leading to higher fan interaction, more link clicks, and increased conversions. By sending direct, personal messages, you’re building stronger fan relationships and boosting your streams, sales, and event attendance.
Sonikit's SMS tool works alongside your other fan activity through Action Flows. For example, a fan who follows your Sonikit page or pre-saves a release can be automatically enrolled in your SMS list as part of that flow, without you having to manually add them. From there, you can send updates about new releases, tour dates, and merch drops directly to their phone.
Yes — Sonikit's Campaign Inbox, available on Pro and Enterprise plans, lets you view inbound SMS replies and respond to fans directly inside Sonikit, so you can have real two-way conversations instead of only sending one-way blasts.
Yes. Fans must opt in before you can send them SMS messages through Sonikit, and Sonikit includes built-in opt-out handling so fans can unsubscribe whenever they choose.

Sonikit gives you built-in tools to collect SMS subscribers, including sign-up forms you can add to your pages to capture fans' phone numbers, plus keyword-based sign-up so fans can text a keyword to opt in.
Many independent musicians use SMS because it's a direct channel they own — a text list isn't subject to the algorithm changes that can limit who sees your posts on social platforms. It's especially useful for time-sensitive updates like release day, ticket on-sales, or merch drops, since text messages tend to get seen quickly.
A common example is a release-day message: 'New single "X" is out now — stream it here: [link].' Other common sends include tour date announcements, merch drop alerts, or a message triggered automatically right after a fan pre-saves your release.
