PreventionPays is "The Place to Go for Enterprise Short Code Texting"
Regardless of your age, demographic, what's the one communication channel that binds us all together like no other? Hint: it's not a phone call, email or tweet!
When 2-1-1 Directors and United Way executives were asked the question: "How many of you have made a phone call today? Email? Tweet?" a few scattered hands went up... then... "How many of you have texted someone today?" Almost every hand in the audience went up! At that moment It was clear to all... text is king! Now, our most utilized channel, short code texting is where contact center communication must go next to ensure their continued success and relevancy. That message was made very clear by Caree Jewell and Larry Olness (United Way Heart of Florida) during their riveting presentation "Why Every United Way 2-1-1 Should Have Text". From live text I&R to developing deep engagements with tailored group alerts and appt reminders, the theme at this year's summit was four simple letters... TEXT!
