We're thrilled to announce that starting today, our Text Messaging platform is now live and ready for you to use. Simply login and look for the shiny new Text Messaging link in the navigation.
If you're not utilizing text messaging for your event, you could be leaving big opportunities and even bigger sums of money on the table. Did you know that text messages have an impressive 98% open rate compared to email's 20%?
No kidding!
Boost your ticket sales significantly by sending mass text messages to past attendees, keeping them informed about new events, seasonal offers, or limited-time flash sales. Alternatively, enhance attendee engagement before and after an upcoming event by sending reminders, providing directions, or requesting post-event survey feedback.

2: Choosing the Perfect Plan
We offer two plans for mass messaging. The $19/month + 4 cents/message plan is perfect for seasonal or occasional use. For bigger events or year-round use, the Super Sender plan at $99/month + 2 cents/message is your go-to.
Feel free to upgrade or downgrade anytime - the monthly fee maintains your dedicated number and keeps your brand active. And because there are no contracts, you can quit at any time if you never want to.
