Bulk sms services
The utilising of parent, learners and staff’s cellular phones will enable educators to keep everyone updated quickly and efficiently through sms communication. Most parents might have email or access to email and Internet, but ALL have cellular phones.
Communicating with parents via cellular phone technology has never been easier.
According to worldwide surveys, 94% of all people will read a sms the moment they receive it. 98% will read the message eventually. 100% will read the message if their name appears first in the message body.
The SMSS system allows educators to send sms messages to individuals or groups, and personalize them with the click of a button. The SMSS system will take the name of the parent from the database and place it in front of the text. Another unique tool for educators is “Remote” bulk sending capabilities with the SMSS system. Should learners go on tour with educators, a bulk sms message can be sent to all parents of the learners instantly, without the need to connect to Internet. One sms to a short code number, will trigger the system to send a bulk sms to a specific group, pre-loaded on the system. Give learners, parents and staff the tool to convey information, complain or even compliment via a single sms to a KEYWORD, sent to a short code, from any cellular phone. Many parents will use this system to inform the school of a learner being sick, or provide a reason for absence. The sms sent to the keyword will be displayed in up to 5 email addresses instantly, and will also be displayed on the school’s sms system. The sender will receive an automated reply, free of charge to the school and recipient, acting as a 24/7 call centre scenario.
For learners and parents the SMSS system is easy to use, and time and cost-efficient. They simply type in the keyword, followed by the message they need to convey and send it to a short code.
The system goes even further in terms of automation;
Learners, parents and staff receive information instantly by sending a keyword followed by their email address to a short code. The SMSS system will send a pre-loaded email instantly to the email provided in the sms.
The sender will receive an auto response sms, as well as an email, containing the relevant information.
The automated email could be used for newsletters, circular letters, or any other communication like exam information, to parents, learners and staff alike.
Not only will the school offer an automated email vehicle, but will also offer an automated service for information, complaints, surveys, competitions and even to raise funds.
The school even receives an extra sms credit for every sms sent to their keyword, resulting in free sms sending capabilities. SMSS also offers the lowest sms costs in South Africa, guaranteed.
