● Send texts about company news
○ Not all employees have email account, and those that
do aren’t always reading your messages.

● Employees want to know about company news and this
solves the problem of poor communication

minutes

answering an email and completing a
long survey

create, launch, maintain and
analyze any mobile initiative

people in those lists

(# days in between messaging)

one discussions
45. Mobile Web Platform
● Design the site to match your branding (or event)

Explorer or a table of contents)

minutes to create an engaging interactive mobile page
● Use text messaging to send the bit.ly link to that specific
page to a specific list
50. Analytics
● Never wonder if employees are watching your videos, looking at your Powerpoints, or
answering questions. We track everything a person does on the site.
● Track by division or group, or even by individual employee - what time they
interacted, what they viewed, how they answered
● Download reports into Excel, analyze and make changes to continue increasing
participation
