Text Messaging Support
98% open rate.
That’s the power of member texting.
Most of your members experience the frustration of staying on top of emails, leaving the average person with less mental bandwidth than ever before to take in new information.
Therefore, the information you send needs to take
up less room.
That's why text messages work.

Why Texting Works
People actually read texts.
Message are usually read within three minutes.
It cuts through the clutter.
A short text keeps members in the loop without
adding to their inbox overwhelm.
It improves event attendance.
For example, ask someone to send a thumbs up
emoji if they're attending your event rather than
have them dig for the RSVP form you emailed.
It meets today’s communication standards
It fits peoples habits because you're reaching
them where they already are: Their phone.
I'll Admit I Was Hesitant
When I was new to this, texting clients was, and still is, one of the most untapped communication tools for businesses and organizations. Still, I was hesitant to start
texting members, worrying that they would find texts intrusive or annoying.
However, the reality was opposite.
People began engaging within moments and the cost was so low
that I thought I was reading the bill wrong!
