Mass Texting Service For Schools
Students are always looking at their phones, but often emails go unread. Since they are on a phone, text messages are five times more likely to be read than emails. It’s no surprise then that more and more schools are turning to text messaging in order to reach their students. Message Launch is the most easy-to-use and cost-effective texting solution for engaging students, helping schools everywhere to better reach their students and parents and streamline how they communicate.
How Texting For Schools Work
In order to message your students, you need to get them to sign up for your texting program. You can do this with mobile keywords which collect student and parent phone numbers automatically so they can sign themselves up to receive alerts about your school wide announcements. This allows you to automatically grow your contact lists without having to manually enter information. You can promote your keywords through different channels like on your social media, on school grounds, on mailers, and on your students' take home forms.
