Draft Your Reminder Messages

Write concise reminders with personalization tokens:

Include clear calls to action like “See you tomorrow!” or “Let us know if you have questions.”

Schedule Your Follow-Ups

Draft your initial reminder in rocketsend.io, then set a calendar alert for your chosen send time (for example, 24 hours before the event).

For follow-ups, create additional calendar events—one 24 hours before and another one hour before your event—each containing the corresponding reminder text so you can paste and send at the right moment.

Best Practices & Tips

Keep each reminder under 120 characters for mobile readability
Use a polite, enthusiastic tone and relevant emojis (#️⃣, ⏰) to capture attention
Limit reminders to two per contact to avoid fatigue and ensure positive response rates
Test different send windows (morning vs. afternoon) in small batches to discover your audience’s most responsive times
