What is mass texting?
A mass text message is sent to a large list of contacts/constituents at once by an organization or business. Mass text messaging lets you send a single, personalized text message to entire groups of people, big or small.
Scheduling a quick mass text can save you the time and effort of having to go through your entire list of contacts and shooting them messages individually.
Depending on your objectives, there are a ton of ways you can use mass texting. For example, sending event invitations to collect RSVPs and event reminders, GOTV texts, fundraising asks, sale notifications, and promotional codes. Those are just some of the ways organizations are using mass texts to communicate with their audiences.
