Send emergency text alert | SMS Marketing Blog
Summary
Even with social media platforms, the average open rate is a few hours, as compared to SMS which takes minutes to reach the target audience. Better yet, you could even add a short link in your text message directing them to Google Maps where you’ve pinned the location of the accident and mark any alternate routes that they can take. Government departments or business organisations can immediately text all citizens of the area to stay inside until the storm subsides. If you own an iPhone, you must have noticed that you receive a text with a code for two-factor authentification if your iCloud account is logged in from an unrecognised device. Short links directing them to the NGOs website or social media accounts with live videos and pictures can be sent via text.
