# OverviewThis guide outlines high-converting strategies for iMessage outreach through platforms like Blooio, optimized for business messaging. Use it to structure campaigns, increase engagement, and close more conversations with simple, effective tactics.
# 🔧 Configuration Basics# 1. Response Windows Set active response hours if you’re using workflows for 8AM–8PM local time to maintain professionalism. People do get mad if you text them late. Avoid sending outreach late at night or early morning — it reduces trust and increases opt-outs. # 🧠 Messaging Strategy That ConvertsHook: Quick, curiosity-inducing openerExample: “Hey! Do you service xyz?”
Body: Clear, relevant context or valueExample: “Hi It’s Sam! Got your number for Tina. Saw you're interested in boosting bookings…”
CTA: Direct, low-friction askExample: “Want a demo later today or tomorrow?”
