Best practices for text message reminders
Get to the point
People are more likely to read and retain information that is presented clearly and concisely, so keep your reminder texts brief. This encourages your contacts to read the message and act upon it immediately instead of pushing it off until later.
Action-pack your subject line
A clear, actionable subject line ensures the recipients catch on quickly. Your contacts will know what action to take, and can easily search for your broadcast in their inbox. Use the subject line to remind your recipient of the event or deadline, right up top.
Make it easy for recipients to take the next step
By giving your contacts an easy way to confirm or reschedule appointments via text message, you’ll stay organized and avoid unnecessary phone calls. Plus, you’ll reduce your risk of missed appointments and no-shows.
Ask contacts to confirm their upcoming appointment with the convenient survey feature. For rescheduling appointments, use an SMS keyword, like “RESCHEDULE.” When a contact uses the keyword, they’ll receive an automated message with the link to reschedule their appointment.
Text Reminder FAQs
-
Can I send an image in my text message reminder?
Yes! Both Credits (pay-as-you-go) and Monthly (subscription) accounts can send MMS (multimedia) messages. To send an MMS message from a Monthly account, users will need to accept add-on charges.
Pro-tip: You can use MMS in appointment reminder messages to capture your contact's attention.
-
How many recipients can I send a mass text message to at once?
It depends. For Credits (pay-as-you-go) accounts, you can send a message to an unlimited number of contacts. For Monthly (subscription) accounts, there are limits, but our support team will work with you to determine the best group size.
If you're not sure which account type best suits your needs, reach out to our support team for guidance.
-
Is mass texting an effective way to send an appointment reminder?
Yes—mass messaging is an easy and cost-effective way to reach all of your clients at once. SMS messages have a high open rate, with 98% of text messages being read within 3 minutes, compared to 20% of emails. Plus, mass text reminders can be scheduled ahead of time, which ensures that messages are sent at a time they are most likely to be read and acted upon.
-
Is mass text messaging legal?
While mass SMS is by no means illegal, it is heavily restricted. The U.S. government has a long history of regulation, protecting consumer privacy concerning telemarketing and robocalls, and this also extends to texting. The most critical piece of legislation narrowing the scope of acceptable telemarketing practices came with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA), which amended the original Communications Act of 1934.
The problem with the 1991 legislation was that the meaning of “prior consent” could be interpreted somewhat loosely. Consent was considered to be given if a customer or potential customer voluntarily gave the company their phone number. Also, if consent was “implied,” rather than explicit, that was also considered a green light for telemarketing calls and texts.
Text-Em-All has taken a stand against unwanted texts. Our response to the TCPA is that we've chosen not to allow political or promotional messages on our platform. Although some of the above may be legal in certain circumstances, we respectfully decline to allow this traffic on our network. See our responsible use policy or contact our support team for more information.
Furthermore, our platform has some built-in features to help you stay compliant., such as auto opt out.
