We read so much on the mobile text marketing opportunity for businesses to attract and maintain customers that it is important to discuss text messaging as a communications tool.

Let’s use day care facilities and private schools.

What a great way for parents to be more connected with the facility that is responsible for their children while at school or day care. Parents could opt in to the day care or schools text messaging system and be sent a text message for emergency situations or something as simple as letting the parents know that report cards are being sent home today.

Let’s say that a field trip is coming up and it is important that the parents get in the signed release form allowing permission for their child to go. Texts are more reliable than e-mail and almost instantly received.

Many times a child gets sick or injured. The school or daycare can even send a text message to that individual parent from the back office using the text messaging software.

Sports Leagues and Associations:

SMS text messaging is a great way to communication with coaches and parents of sporting events. Parents are very busy juggling schedules and I have heard many stories of parents showing up with the kids for practice only to find out that practice or the game was cancelled for various reasons. Even if the information was posted on a voice mail or call in messaging system it is not as reliable and fast as text messaging. Even with phones set on vibrate a parent may be in a meeting and can easily look down and read a text but unable to take a voice call or listen to a voice mail.

Log into your back office and send out the text message alert or announcement to the entire database in under a minute!

No matter what type of business or organization you have, SMS text messaging is a smart way to communicate.
