Non-Profit
"Keep potential donors and supporters in the know with our custom chat marketing platform."
If you're head of marketing or fundraising at a local, regional, or national non-profit organization, you know how important campaign support is. If you aren't regularly drumming up awareness and spreading campaign messages, you'll fall behind. Once that occurs, you'll have a hard time meeting your annual fundraising goals. Long story short, a mass texting service can help keep your non-profit communication on track. Fire out event reminders, donation requests, monthly milestones, and more.
Text Services for Nonprofits are an effective and affordable way to connect with donors and supporters through short, fast and easy personal messages. Text services provide a way for non-profits to increase donor participation and build more responsive bases of support. These services provide options that enable clients to personalize their messages and instantly send a customized message to their intended recipients in a matter of seconds. These services also provide for customizing text messages
"Studies indicate that 98% of text messages are read by recipients. Additionally, 90% of those text messages are opened within three minutes of receipt. Compare that to a 21% open rate for email"
Text-to-Give Campaigns
These text-to-give campaigns are designed to capture quick donations. Most nonprofit organizations use text-to-give campaigns during special seasons of giving or annual fundraising drives. The savviest nonprofit executives and administrators know that text message marketing is the easiest way to reach supporters and community members. As a best practice, be sure to include a distinct call-to-action in all text-to-give campaigns.
Welcome Messages
Make donors feel heard and valued is to send a quick welcome message. In this instance, be sure to give donors access to a members-only web portal. A distinct welcome message and members portal offer some special exclusivity. Use this exclusivity to your advantage by offering additional value such as merchandise discounts, members-only newsletters, and more.
Event Reminders
Sending an event reminder is a quick and easy way to notify supporters about an upcoming event. Let’s face it — supporters miss important event happenings all the time. With text message marketing, there’s no easier way to keep contacts in-the-know about important fundraising campaigns, volunteer opportunities, and more.
Member Support Messages
A great member support strategy delivers maximum value to your followers and supporters. In many instances, member support messages can be automated. For example, if a supporter has a question or concern regarding donations, nonprofit organizations can build a series of support messages based on ultra-specific keywords. Automated member support text messages help to reduce the cost of one-to-one member support. Additionally, these automated messages ensure that supporters’ questions and concerns are answered quickly and efficiently.
Thank You Messages
Sending a simple thank you message helps to make your text recipients feel heard and valued. Try sending automated thank you messages after receiving a donation. Additionally, send thank you messages to volunteers for their hard work.
Last Minute Updates
Try sending last minute updates via text message. Text marketing recipients enjoy the speed and ease-of-access that only text message marketing can provide. As such, text messaging is an ideal communications channel for day-of reminders, last-minute volunteer opportunities, final calls for donation etc.
Issue Advocacy Messages
Getting the word out about important issues is critical when it comes to mission advocacy and support. Oftentimes, printed newsletters and emails fall on deaf ears. With text message marketing, it’s easy to send important information about important issues
MMS Messages
Recent studies indicate that text marketing contacts are more likely to engage when the text includes a powerful image or graphic. MMS messaging makes it simple and easy to insert an image. For example, if your nonprofit organization recently completed a service project, consider snapping a few pictures of the finished product. A quick before and after image is a great way to keep text marketing contacts engaged and interested.
Recruitment
Finding new donors is a constant struggle for any growth-oriented nonprofit. With text message marketing, you can send quick calls-for-donation. Text message marketing is less obtrusive than getting on the phone and making a call.
