Editor's Notes
If they have a mobile phone, chances are they’ll receive your text messages. Let’s catchaNOMAD.
Response time can be a matter of seconds.
Ask them all one Big Question. (Or several?) Polling and surveys give you instant results.
Children are everyone’s top priority. A closer communication with parents improves your effectiveness.
Text messaging to groups does not change how you operate, or demand much time.
Your text message is attention-grabbing, immediate and measurable.
Print 100 flyers and get a few people in the door. Send a text message and attract a crowd.
Start with integration of your Keyword throughout all your posters, flyers, windows. Spread the word.
Each time someone texts your keyword, they enter themselves automatically on your list. Use a different keyword for teachers. Yet another for parents. Keep your message distinct.
Schedule your messages in advance. Program them to go out on time. Watch your effectiveness grow.
If there’s an earthquake, if power goes out, or if it snows, immediately instruct parents of the next step.
