Scalable SMS solutions tailor-made nonprofit and political teams
Blu Txt’s peer-to-peer text messaging platform was built to fill a major void in the market impacting our clients in all kinds of nonprofit and political arenas. Although text messaging outreach is highly-effective, the problem for many clients was having to use multiple vendors to complete their SMS outreach, depending on whether they were going to send the messages themselves (self-service), or have the vendor send on their behalf (full-service). Couple this with the fact that most SMS vendors do not offer traditional phone outreach in-house, and clients quickly build a stable of different vendors, different processes and lose the advantages of continuity in their outreach strategy.
That’s why Blu Txt was built with the option for organizations to use our team of union-backed contact center experts to send messages on the organization’s behalf (Blu Txt Full-Service) or for them to be able to take the keys to Blu Txt and use their own team to send the messages to their audience (Blu-Txt Self-Service). Now political campaigns, organizations, and nonprofits have the flexibility to reach their audience using P2P text messaging based on their needs and on their terms.
Read on to learn more about the advantages of Blu Txt’s full- and self-service text messaging options, as well as, common ways organizations are using peer-to-peer text messaging to achieve their outreach goals.
