Overview and Benefits
Many live events, conferences, meetings, conventions, trade shows these days are searching for ways to engage their attendees further and utilize current technologies. SMS and MMS activations are a great way to engage and communicate with the audiences directly on their mobile phones. No need for app downloads or external hardware. All of the engagement is done via SMS and MMS. Everyone with a mobile phone can participate!
"In the featured SXSW case study over 85% of the audience participated in the mobile voting."
Through our work with Conferences, Live Events, Trade Shows, Conventions we have discovered several important benefits of text message marketing and engagement:
Mobile Voting and Text-to-Vote - A great way to engage the audience and ask for feedback and opinions with real-time tabulating results displayed on the stage screen or jumbotron.
Text-to-Screen - Audiences text comments to the screen. Effective and simple way of connecting with guests and connecting them at the same time.
MMS-to-Screen - Everyone wants to show off their camera skills. With this feature you can display not only text on the screen but mobile phone captured photos from the event and connected with the event topic.
Session Reminders and Alerts - Effective way to increase attendance of sessions and on time arrival for the speakers.
Agenda Changes - Timely notifications to attendees to notify them about last minute changes. Easily integrate with Google Calendar and schedule SMS reminders on the go.
Drip Campaigns - At the end of the campaign, you may ask your event participants to subscribe to a follow up Text Messaging Drip Campaign. Sending follow-ups info texts, offers and SMS surveys is a great way to further engage your audience.
