Cell phones have become the primary means of communication for students everywhere. 91% of college students have a cell phone or a smartwatch within reach 24/7. This has led to SMS being the most efficient and effective method of communication.
Text messages have a 98% open rate, compared to 20% for email.
Likewise, 86% of students say that text alerts help prompt them to accomplish unfinished tasks and assignments.
SMS promotes students having a better dorm experience. Housing offices can send texts to announce roommate assignments, inform a resident of a package delivery or remind them to turn in their keys before they leave for summer break.
Having an SMS system can also benefit staff. They can send emergency alerts, maintenance updates, repair requests and campus event reminders via text to improve communication between students and faculty.
You can address these messages to individual students, segmented groups or the entire campus to ensure the right people are receiving the necessary information.
Our solutions integrate with existing systems, including Outlook, Gmail, or send messages to anyone within your student housing system utilizing the SMS gateway API.
Whether you’re managing one dorm or an entire campus, our transparent pricing and plans scale with your needs.
