Trumpia offers five ways companies and nonprofits can utilize our SMS texting software in order to seamlessly host virtual events and galas.
COVID-19 has undoubtedly shifted and even paused the way people meet, causing so many businesses and organizations to lose momentum. Yet for world innovators and people making impact in their communities, the need to adapt has expanded new horizons. For example, people working in Non-Profit organizations are able to market and advertise their campaign to such a large audience through the rise of virtual events and galas. These virtual events are pivotal, especially in today’s political and social climate, where sweeping reform and awareness is necessary. Yet communicating to such a large and diverse audience online can be a daunting task.
Trumpia wants to offer five ways companies and nonprofits can utilize our SMS texting software in order to host virtual events and galas.
Marketing efforts
SMS texting can help nonprofits of any size with lead generation, bringing in new donors, newsletter subscribers, community members, volunteers, or other stakeholders. Leads for a non profit organization equate to more exposure, and ultimately, more awareness for your cause and mission. Here are some ways nonprofits can utilize this marketing opportunity:
- Fundraiser and event promotion
- Automated event reminders
- Rewards and discounts
- Itinerary and speaker information
- Donation and fundraising campaigns
Check-Ins
If you have tried hosting a virtual event before, you know that it is frustrating trying to keep logistics and attendance in check. Without using a powerful system, non profit organizations are forced to waste time by manually keeping record of donors and attendees. By using Trumpia’s SMS texting, you can have people RSVP before the event by having them text a keyword to a short or long code. Once they opt - in, you can also text donation instructions and the virtual event link, streamlining all the information they would need. Subscribers can even receive automated reminders based on whether or not they clicked the link!
“Example: With the donation you make today, you can help contribute to the Red Cross! Will you consider making a donation by clicking the link below!”
Interactive Content
The possibilities here are endless. Imagine an influential and famous member of your organization sending an individual text message to each donor, or incorporating live meters that track the dollar amount reached towards your goal. All of this is possible and more through Trumpia’s powerful system. Using our software, your organization has full access to all of these features:
- Auto Campaign: Save so much time by letting our system work for you. Trumpia’s automated drip campaigns automatically filter messages in order to only send relevant content to people who would want it.
- Text to screen feature: using the text to screen feature, you can have people text in and have their responses broadcasted in front of everyone. The usability of this is endless - it encourages people to stay engaged, and motivates people to make a call to action by donating.
- MMS media: have the ability to send more than text messages including videos and images in order to make content more engaging.
Post Event Followup
Even when your event is online, the reality is that not everyone will be able to make it, despite the event being virtual. Zoom fatigue and online meeting fatigue is a very real phenomenon. That is where Trumpia’s software shines. Our SMS texting allows non profits to continue the conversation - you can still push content and promotions after the event is over. Check out some of these uses:
- Social Media Integration: Trumpia’s strength is that you can integrate other existing programs and software. Simply text a link to social media content and have people see real time updates and summaries of past events.
- Continue Donation Options: You can also attach links in order to have people who wanted to donate to the cause still donate.
- Inspiring moments: Send MMS content incorporating quotes, video captures, and images where a speaker really impacted the crowd.
This is by far the most useful feature Trumpia offers. Using Trumpia’s SMS texting software, you can tangibly collect data that will be useful for future promotions and endeavors. Ask questions like:
- “What other causes are you interested in?”
- “How would you rate the event?”
By understanding the impact of your event, you can plan better for the future. Simply send out a poll or surveys that simplify the process and be amazed by how quick and how many responses you receive!
SMS marketing is a valuable tool for nonprofit organizations in streamlining communication and expanding your cause.
