This new feature, an add-on to Bulletin of Localist Events, offers universities the power of SMS by creating a direct line to students and boosting the visibility of essential event updates.
Research indicates that SMS messages have a 98% open rate compared to the 20% average for emails, proving it to be a highly effective channel for capturing students’ attention.
“In higher education, reaching students where they are is crucial. With SMS support in Localist Events, colleges and universities can now double engagement with their campus events and boost attendance where and when it matters.”
