&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;Segmentation has moved the needle the most for us. Once we started sending based on actual purchase behavior instead of the whole list, the messages felt less like a blast and conversion followed pretty directly from that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

SMS sits so close to the buy moment it silently collects last-touch credit for intent that email or paid built earlier. That doesn&#39;t mean the channel isn&#39;t working, it means your attribution window decides how impressive SMS looks. Revenue attribution is the only honest measure here.

### Comment 3

&lt;p&gt;Worth separating two things that both get called conversion here: the message that created the intent, and the message that happened to be last before the purchase. SMS sits very close to the buy moment, so it collects a lot of last-touch credit for demand that email or paid built earlier in the week. That&#39;s not a reason to discount the channel, but it does mean the attribution window you set quietly decides how good SMS looks. Omnisend coming up for cross-channel automation makes sense partly for that reason, since running both channels in one flow makes the sequence visible rather than something you reconstruct afterwards.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve stopped reporting on open rates internally because they&#39;re inflated enough to be basically meaningless. The revenue attribution piece is the only number that actually tells you whether the channel is working.&lt;/p&gt;
