SMS marketing is being used by many universities throughout Australia as an effective medium of communication for both internal and external purposes. The service is particularly useful to University officials responsible for promoting open days and events to potential students. Messages can be sent out to large databases of prospects quickly and easily. As an internal communication tool text messaging is used to keep staff members up to date on last minute news and information. Our web SMS system is easy to use and messages can be sent from any PC quickly, easily and at low cost.
Send out text reminders to all prospects regarding the university open day and other events being held at the university. Contact details can be taken from people who have ordered a prospectus or registered their details on the website.
Use a keyword and short code to generate leads from prospective students, e.g. - "Txt Uni to XXX XXX XXX to receive information on forthcoming open days".
Keep in contact with staff regarding any news and information that may need to be spread in a hurry. Tutors can also send out texts to students with immediate information or reminders.
Promote the student union by sending out texts promoting student nights, drinks promotions, DJ's and Bands. Messages can be timed to go out at specific times in the day, when its most likely students are looking for entertainment. Catch them before someone else does!
Contact students and staff in case of emergency. For example, immediately contact groups of people if the campus is closed due to bad weather.
