Most teams are asking the wrong question about SMS vs. Email.
It’s not “Which channel performs better?”

Email is built for depth.
SMS is built for action.

The other helps you engage in real time.
The problem is most companies use them interchangeably - blasting promotions through SMS or trying to drive urgency through overcrowded inboxes.
