Easiest Bulk SMS Software For Schools - The first knowledge sharing application in Vietnam

Are you ready to invest in a bulk SMS software solution for your school, college or university? We get it — budget approvals, fear of change, and skepticism towards product effectiveness prevent even the most successful institutions from investing in an industry-leading text messaging solution. However, before committing a text messaging software, there are a few preparatory considerations software administrators can make to streamline the software adoption and implementation process:

1. Ask for Permission: There are several legal requirements governing schools and bulk SMS messaging. The most important is that text messaging for schools is a permission-based activity. This means that every faculty member, staff member, parent, and student must opt-in to receive messages from the school. Typically, users do not hesitate to sign-up for text messaging services.

However, some users may have some concerns about how their contact information is managed and the frequency at which they will receive marketing messages. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act regulates institutions’ use of customer data. Additionally, regulations regarding privacy and spam texting are contained within the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. For more information, visit the Mobile Marketing Association and the Cellular Telephone Industries Association.

2. Centralize Contact Information: Secondly, before system outset, commit to clean and well-organized contact information. With ready access to a centralized and secure database of user information including name, phone number, address, and more, system administrators dramatically reduce their chances of a system breach. Moreover, querying contacts based on well-documented inputs is simple and easy.

3. Keep Track of Data: Finally, institutions must commit to ongoing data maintenance and management. Monitor open rates, opt-outs, and more. Having a clear understanding of this data will help you create more targeted and engaging text message communications. Additionally, constant data monitoring will help you avoid making mistakes such as sending text messages after a user has already opted out. It’s these types of mistakes that can spell disaster even for the savviest higher education institutions.
