Building a large-scale email solution can be a complex and costly challenge for a business. Organizations have to build infrastructure, set up your network, warm up your IP addresses, and protect your sender reputation. Many third-party email solutions come with contracts, minimum charges, and up-front costs. With Amazon Pinpoint, you can start sending emails in minutes, and you only pay for what you use.

A majority of mobile phone users read incoming SMS messages almost immediately after receiving them. If you need to be able to provide your customers with urgent or essential information, SMS messaging may be the right solution for you. Businesses in a wide variety of industries can also use two-way SMS to keep their customers informed and engaged. For example, medical practices can send messages to their patients asking them to confirm their appointments.

If you need to send important or time-sensitive information to the users of your mobile apps, you can use mobile push notifications. Push notifications are one of the most affordable ways to reach customers around the world and across a wide variety of devices. Your customers don't even have to be using your app in order to receive mobile push notifications.

High-value actions are key to providing a good customer experience and improving business metrics within your product. In-app messaging allows targeted message sends displayed within mobile or web applications to drive these actions. A message is designed with pre-built template and customization options. This message is then targeted to customers based on attributes, such as purchase history, and displayed based on a customer action, such as cart abandonment.
