How to Reach People in our Mobile Society
When you have a message that needs to get to a number of people quickly, what's the best way to do it? How do you inform everyone that a meeting has been cancelled at the last minute? Or remind everyone of an important event that's coming up?
If you have the staff to make dozens or hundreds of phone calls, that's one way to do it. Bulk email works but many people don't read their email very often.
The answer is group text messaging from ChurchTextingManager.com. People today are more mobile than ever, and they take their cell phones everywhere they go. If you want to reach them wherever they're at, text messaging is the answer.
But you still have the problem of maintaining an up-to-date list of everyone's number, and you have to take the time to text everyone. That's where ChurchTextingManager.com comes in -- your members themselves keep their contact information up-to-date on our site, so we know where they are even if you don't. When you need to reach them, use ChurchTextingManager.com to send them a quick text message. It takes just seconds and you can reach dozens or even hundreds of people!
What We Do
We give you a way to create opt-in lists of your members so you can easily communicate with them via text messaging (SMS) to their mobile phones. You pay a monthly fee that depends on the number of groups of people you want to keep informed, then simply tell everyone to text JOIN and your group name to 564646 (JOININ) to join your group. When you need to get a message to everyone quickly and efficiently, you log into your account here at churchtextingmanager.com and enter your message.
We transmit your message via SMS to the mobile phones of all the members of your group. You pay about 5 cents for each message sent. (One message sent to 100 people is 100 total messages. At the plan rate of 5 cents per message that would cost $5.)
All subscriptions to the groups you create are managed by a double opt-in process which we handle with your subscribers. They can leave your group at any time. This gives your subscribers control over their own messaging traffic while assuring group leaders that they're not pushing messages to their members that the members don't want to see.
