Send your messages

Having built up a list of opt in cell numbers, messages can be sent to the list, if names were collected, each message can be personalized to the recipient name.

Type the message, using the merge field if names are to be included. Messages are 160 characters long, if more than 160 characters are used, two messages will be sent. There is a character counter that also indicates how many messages will be needed.

Select the list to send the message to. There is a drop down list that can be selected.

Finally, either send the message immediately or schedule the date and time. Messages can be set up to be sent by time and date. The delay can be more than a year in advance but normally up to one month is used. The time can be set to within 15 minute increments. Messages can be timed to gain maximum impact. Many clubs time their messages for early afternoon on the day of their promotion.

There are comprehensive records of sent messages so that results can be compared with message sends.

Should recipients reply to messages sent to them, their replies will be automatically delivered to the inbox where they can be read.
