Hints: Exclude from other messages. Turn off at predetermined interval before the event. Set expectations, tell them they are on the way. Smart segmentation – identify target groups. Team captains tolerate more messaging and can help push messages out for you. Suggested messages - provide lots of options to make participants’ job easier (Registration, Donation, Reminders, Team Captain Welcome, Fundraising tips, Thank You, etc)
