How text messaging can benefit your organization via group texting?

SMS marketing tools are becoming super effective for any organization. Using our platform you can send a single text message to hundreds or thousands of mobile phone numbers all at once. Many businesses have been using our service to keep in touch with customers, employees, associates at all times via immediate communications.

SMS are instant and open rates are over 98%, which is super powerful communication and your audience will not miss the message!

How does all this happen?

It's all a fairly simple and uncomplicated process. First, you build a group of contacts that you want to send your message to. That's done in three ways:

1. If you have an existing list of contacts, you can upload them to your online database that we provide.
2. You can add a web widget to your website that allows people to enter their information and join your group.
3. And finally, you ask people to join your group by texting a word you choose, called a keyword, to a number like 41242, called a short code. This is the most popular and effective way to grow your lists.

If you already have clients’ data or need to start building your lists, ProTexting will accommodate all of your needs in managing your contacts and messages. We follow all rules and compliances of CTIA and Mobile Marketing Association to ensure proper delivery of your message, and lower optout rates. All contacts need to be optin, via keyword and text to join, or other ways that are compliant for mobile marketing (talk to our representative for more info to see if your current database meets all requirements for a mass text messaging). Our team will make sure your text messaging campaigns are executed properly.

Now you're ready to send your message. You compose the message within your account, and we send it to all of the major U.S. wireless carriers, such as AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, and they transmit it to everyone in your group, who receives it in minutes.

When the individuals in your group, whether it's 100 people or 10,000 people, open their message and read it, they have the option to reply. If they reply, that message will be delivered to your account inbox, and you have just completed a 2-way group text messaging operation.

Although we've been primarily discussing advertising/marketing applications here, there are other applications as well. Large churches use this service to send announcements and daily prayers to their congregations or youth groups. Colleges and public schools are using this technology to send emergency alerts and other announcements to the whole student body at once. News organizations, sports teams, weather services, political groups, charities, and many other types of organizations are finding that group texting can be of great benefit to them in a variety of ways.
