Using a text messaging system like TxtSquad allows your messages to be delivered instantly and directly to the recipients, ensuring a wide reach and immediate attention.
Benefits of SMS Notifications and Alerts for Schools
Direct and Immediate Reach
Unlike emails that might go unnoticed, text messages are typically read within minutes of being received. This gives you a reliable way to reach your audience.
High Open Rates
Text messages have a staggering open rate of 98%, ensuring your message gets seen. For time sensitive communication, this is a great way to ensure your message is received.
Suitable for a Variety of Purposes
From reminders about upcoming meetings, school closures, and event management, SMS alerts serve a variety of purposes. You can also use them to send out surveys and polls to get a feel for how your school community is doing.
Enhanced Engagement
Keep parents, students, and staff engaged with your school community with regular updates and notifications. This is a great way to keep everyone in the loop and ensure they don’t miss out on important information.
