For associations that have urgent communication needs, text messaging may be the right option. For example:
Text messages have a 98% open rate, and most are opened within 15 minutes of being delivered.
Admins can also include relevant images within the text message.
MemberLeap offers a broadcast text messaging option that can help you with this. This premium feature is available for a minimum $10 monthly fee, which includes 500 member-texts/month (ex: if you have 100 members and send a broadcast text, that counts for 100 messages) and then a $0.02 charge per text for additional texts.
