Text Messaging Support
98% open rate.
Text messages are the fastest and least expensive way to reach members.
With the speed of digital information these days,
many of us have less mental bandwidth than ever before when it comes to taking 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.
They'll do it!
It meets today’s communication standards
Texting 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 texting members, it 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 price was so low
that I thought I was reading the bill wrong!
