Bulk SMS - Keeping everyone in the loop

This post is particularly poignant as it illustrates the perfect application of bulk SMS messaging and its benefits in these current times.

Building on my last post, regarding the snow and it's ability to strand employees with limited access to their work (much to their dissatisfaction I'm sure!), I thought about the potential of Teimlo's text messaging facilities for both business, but more importantly schools in this current time.

Given the somewhat erratic nature of the weather, decisions need to be made quickly by both schools and employers as to whether to remain open on a particularly bad day. Now for smaller organisations, the ability to let everyone know quickly is a simple ten minute task, but what about a school with 600 students, a university or a large organisation? The current process is to alert the national news or update the company website.

A simpler alternative to this would be bulk text messaging. A quick message to parents or students or employees can give the most accurate and relevant information within seconds to everybody who needs to know. 

'School closed today due to hazardous conditions, we will inform you when it is safe to re-open'

The issue of course is that weather conditions are rarely bad enough to warrant this type of mass communication, and the idea of bulk SMS messaging is often foreign to most people and perceived as an arduous and timely task. Another issue of course is that bulk SMS providers often require a client to enter into a fixed term contract with a monthly fee, this does not reflect the flexibility of what the service is needed for.

With this thought in mind, Teimlo developed their service TEXT BUREAU, a pay-as-you-go bulk SMS (text) messaging service. This service allows you to receive a quote on how many numbers you want to send to, then simply pay for what you want, upload the numbers on mass in an excel spreadsheet and your message and away you go! It's that simple.

So for a fast and effective means of contacting everyone you need to keep in the loop, consider bulk SMS messaging.
