Text messaging service to reach younger audiences

  • 1.  Text messaging service to reach younger audiences

    Posted 10-24-2019 11:09 AM
    Hello AAM community,

    Our team at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art at the College of Charleston is exploring the idea of using a text messaging service to reach especially our younger visitors and students at the College. We noticed that a lot of people are overwhelmed with the amounts of emails they get (we usually only send out one communication per week) and that younger people tend to be less responsive to emails. I would like to know if anyone has good experiences with a particular text messaging service. We would like to use it for:

    - Inviting people to events/sending out event reminders
    - It would be great if we could integrate an RSVP function
    - Remind members of renewing their membership or upgrading their membership

    We currently use Constant Contact for our email communications, so it would be great if the text messaging software could integrate with Constant Contact.

    I am grateful for any advice.

    Best regards,
    Melanie
