Why Are They Using It?

• The United States has the most heavily used message system in the world. Each day there are well over 4 billion messages sent out.
• 79% of the population of the United States owns a cell phone and is already available on over 98% of those devices.
• Only 10% of text messages are categorized as SPAM as opposed to 65% of e-mail being SPAM.
• Text messages are usually read within 15 minutes of being received and responded to within one hour.
• The average age of "texters" is 38 years old.
• More people read text messages than email or traditional mail..

• Cut Mail Costs: (Unlimited Use) monthly subscription costs are less than half the price of a one time mailer. An average mailer (including postage and printing) is approximately $1.00 per piece. So, 300 members would cost around $300 for a single mailer. And you can't even be sure that they are going to read it!


• Constant Contact: Communicate with your local members immediately and frequently. Send scheduled messages to pay dues, attend meetings, vote, read email and keep active on the issues involving your organization. Your ability to communicate will keep members involved, informed and strengthen member retention.


• Competitive Advantage: Use the service to stay ahead of your contract negotiations. Mobilize your members in real-time to organize strikes, send out action alerts, prepare for rallies and important events.
