Trumpia

"A local newspaper subscribes to the alert system as well. When the bomb threat happened, they got the news first from our text messages. That’s the speed a system like this can offer.”

“We have 6 cosmetology schools and 4 salons, so being able to sort contacts and schedule messages has been huge. We send at least 1 new promotion a week, and each week I pull a report to see how many codes have been used.”

“We chose Trumpia because you can text on demand to a group. What it boils down to is, everyone texts. Not everyone has a smartphone with a barcode scanner. And once you tell people to text your short code, they can text the same keyword every week. It’s an easy way for them to spread it to their friends. We see a lot of people forwarding it. So far we’ve had over 2,000 people sign up for the texts, and that number grows each week. We also have their name and number, so if we wanted to do another campaign with them, we could.”
