7 Reasons Every Event Manager Should Be Using Text Messaging

Every event manager knows that the job does not come with a step-by-step how-to manual that outlines what you need to do to succeed. Every single one is different, and while they all have the common goal of bringing people together for a common cause, that is where their similarities end. Event managers must be able to multitask skillfully, communicate effectively with many varying personalities, find the best bargains in town to keep budgets bearable, steer gracefully through problems that will invariably occur, and do all of this with confidence and a smile.

No problem, right?

Luckily, today we have the technology that can take just a little of the pressure off. Not many people consider how widespread cell phone use is. However, these statistics are of vital importance to anyone planning a large event, as managers can take advantage of cellular use to help streamline their planning, keeping everyone up-to-date from the first contact through to the post event survey. You can keep everyone in the loop and informed by the push of a button. (Ok, we admit, it takes a few button presses to text – but you get the idea!)

Here are seven reasons every event planner needs to be using text messaging:

1 – The Pew Research Center found that as of November 2016, 95 percent of Americans have cell phones.

2 – Conversely, only 77 percent of cell phone owners have smartphones. If you rely on event software that requires people to download an app, you will invariably be leaving people out.

3 – Text messaging is the number one utilized feature on phones, with 97 percent of Americans using it daily. You are not forcing people to learn something new, which some may balk at. Texting is something they are adept at and already accustomed to.

4 – Texting is not just for personal use. According to eWeek, 80 percent of people already use it for business, so why shouldn’t they be using it for yours as well?

5 – Email is not where it is at anymore; only 20 percent of emails are opened, whereas text messaging has a whopping 98 percent open rate. You can be assured that when you press ‘send,’ your message will get to the recipients promptly, and will actually be seen. No more missed communications!

6 – The CFI Group discovered in 2012 that texting is what keeps consumers satisfied when it comes to business communications. The technology earned 90 out of 100 points in their survey, while phone calls only earned 77 points. Your customers want to be texted.

7 – eWeek also found that when it comes to business professionals, 72 percent would prefer to text than to use a messaging app.

Don’t make the mistake of making your customers or employees go the extra mile for your event. Show them that you are an event manager that is hip to what they want by offering text messaging for events. You will keep them happy, save money, and are more likely to get that post event survey filled out!

How to Create More Sparks at Your Next Company Meeting With SMS

Raise your hand if you like company meetings? Us too! We like who we work with and try to keep them as fun as possible. Creativity helps as well, but not all meetings can be fun. Or can they? The reality is this: they’re important and absolutely necessary, but a company meeting is essentially a blank canvas. You can paint something boring on it or you can create something amazing. You can create something amazing on the canvas without even using paint! If you haven’t considered using text messaging to improve the interactivity and engagement at your next company meeting, come on in. People are going to be looking at their phones, there’s a great opportunity here to put those mobiles to other good uses.

While the ability to send text messages hasn’t been around for all that long, it seems that these days that we’re barely able to function without it. Text messaging (SMS, texting, etc) has moved well beyond the realm of friends and family communicating more efficiently. It’s being used more and more by businesses to promote products and to communicate with customers. And not just externally. Corporations are increasingly coming to appreciate how text messaging can be used to facilitate efficient team communications.

Text Messaging To The Rescue
Texting allows town hall and meeting participants to truly participate in a new way, making it a useful tool at company meetings. While a very simple technology, enabling mobile users to send up to 160 characters, it’s incredibly powerful, you just need to apply a little creativity to the medium (not unlike the blank canvas that is your company meeting).

Here are a few ideas to create more sparks at your next company meeting:

Encourage Questions
Enabling staff to text in their questions before the meeting makes things more efficient and move along faster. It also provides management with a host of questions staff might have that they can address later.

Pre-Event Surveys
Send out a survey in advance of the meeting to gather information and insights. Depending on what you ask, you can come in more prepared on the meeting approach and better strategize your format.

Raffles or Giveaways
Have people text in a key phrase to be entered to win. Pick a number randomly to see who wins and then send them a text to let them know they won. See “Award Punctuality” below for a way to combine the two.

Idea Sharing
Mobile photos are a great way for people to show or share their visual ideas about something. If you’re using text to screen software, those photos can be projected up onto a screen for everyone to see. Bonus points if the text-to-screen software provider you use support emojis. 😎

Polls and Voting
Trying to get consensus on a topic or idea? Text message polls are a great way to let everyone have a say, privately, if necessary. Making a poll is also a great way to use creativity and make it fun for people to participate. Have fun with them and others will too.

Tease and Reveal
Send an alert in advance to the team to let them know about some special guest or new piece of information. Suspense is a great way to build anticipation of something to come at an event.

Agenda in Advance
Agendas keep things running smoothly because they prepare everyone with what is going to be covered and in what order. If you’re an organization that prides itself in running short meetings, you either provide agendas for each meeting or you have a simple format. Sending out an agenda in advance (or reminder of your format) via text message keeps everyone on the same page.

Award Punctuality
We’ve read about companies that make people who are late sing. While probably incredibly motivating, everyone is late at some point, because: clients, co-workers, email isn’t sending, fax isn’t going through (people still use faxes and that still happens). You can use text messaging as a time stamp by having everyone text a word in that is written on a board for X minutes. Or you can use that same word be entry into a raffle. Or…if you’re into shaming the tardy, have everyone at the meeting take photos of those who are late, post them to a screen for the world to see. We don’t recommend this last idea, but we bet some people would rather have their photo up on a screen than have to sing to the group.

Suggestion Box
Some people love raising their hands and speaking their minds. In some of the others, brilliant insights and ideas are going unheard. By encouraging people to text their ideas and comments in, they can do so quietly, efficiently. All information can be looked at and easily shared later in it’s natural digital format vs handwritten notes on paper or written on a whiteboard.

We hope these have been helpful and wish you the best in making your next company meeting a successful and creative one. Hey! While we have your attention, did you know we sell text messaging software for company meetings? If you’re interested in learning more about it, you can visit us or sign up for a free trial to take it for a spin. All of the ideas above can be done using Mosio’s software.

How to Ensure Productive Town Hall Meetings by Using Mobile Text Messaging

Nowadays, town hall meetings are very common to discuss any concerns or host celebrations. The main goal of these meetings is to gather everyone together and have some sort of announcement. Many town hall meetings have a Q&A session, however in many cases people don’t participate. Text messaging is an event technology service which can help encourage attendees to participate by asking questions and offering feedback.

One of the major advantages to text messaging, is it allows someone to ask a question or provide feedback anonymously. Some people are not comfortable providing feedback in a public setting in front of a group of people. If you give people an opportunity to provide their feedback or ask questions anonymously, you will increase participation.

In some town hall meetings there isn’t a Q&A session available to attendees due to time constraints or the number of people in attendance. By using text messaging, you will give everyone a chance to ask their question or submit their feedback, without the need to wait their turn in a long lineup. Also, you may collect questions and feedback at one meeting, and then address them at the next meeting. This will help save time, as perhaps one topic that is scheduled does not need to be discussed as there aren’t any questions on it.

 

If town hall meetings are held in a big corporate event, or political, environment, then almost no questions are answered directly anyway. So, there is little incentive for people to stand up and try to be heard in a big group of people, if it’s likely their question won’t be answered anyway. Text messaging allows not only the people in attendance to ask a question, but also it allows the meeting moderators to screen the questions, in case someone is submitting something that is inappropriate. By collecting questions via text message, the event coordinators, moderators, or anyone else can send answers back should they choose as well.

Text messaging has many benefits to help ensure a productive town hall meeting, especially since it allows anyone to have their say. For your next town hall meeting, why not give it a try?

How to Have a More Effective Meeting Using Text Messaging

Meetings are a crucial aspect to any business, as they allow to exchange ideas and bring up any issues that might exist. Because meetings are so crucial to a company you want to ensure that you are making them as engaging as possible, and allow attendees to freely express themselves. By making meetings as engaging as possible, and allowing for easy feedback and participation, you can increase meeting efficiency.

Are your company meetings as effective as they should be? Probably not, because not all participants will provide feedback or ask questions in an open setting for any number of reasons. However, your meeting will never be as efficient as it should be if your attendees do not provide any feedback at all. You need to come up with a way to allow everyone to speak their mind, and encourage them to provide feedback. This method of providing feedback also needs to be easy to use, inexpensive, and not time consuming.

Text messaging is the answer to the question “how to have an effective meeting” because it helps attendees provide their feedback instantaneously and anonymously. Essentially, text messaging gets rid of two issues: Time, and Comfort level. If you have large meetings, not everyone will always have a chance to say their piece, especially if they need to wait in a line or go up to a podium. Likewise, not everyone is comfortable providing their feedback in a setting where all eyes are on them either. Therefore text messaging not only allows everyone to have their say, but also allows those that aren’t comfortable being in the spotlight an outlet which doesn’t make them uncomfortable.

Now, that isn’t to say that everyone who texts in some feedback or a question will have it answered right then and there. As mentioned before, some meetings are rather short, and it wouldn’t be possible to field 100 to 150 different questions or concerns. However, those questions, concerns and feedback can be stored for later use, rather than have them not be received at all.

Every business or company should use text messaging in order to make their meetings more effective. Some companies and businesses may choose to go with a complete ARS (audience response system) but those can be costly to set up, and time consuming to get everyone using correctly. If you want a low cost, easy to use way to get more people to participate in meetings, then you will definitely want to consider text messaging.

Increase Audience Participation At Your Next Event Using Text Messaging Software

Are you satisfied with the rate of audience engagement? If you’re not, then you should try something new at your next event to increase participation from your attendees. There are many ways that you can make your next event or town hall meeting more engaging, however, you should try and make sure that the way you use is not only easy, but can also offer anonymity. Why would you want to allow anonymous feedback or questions? Some people are just shy, or don’t want to speak up with everyone’s eyes on them. So, by ensuring that the way you use to gather feedback is not only easy, but also anonymous you will easily increase the engagement from your attendees. Text messaging is not only affordable, but it also fills both of these needs.

Text messaging software is an easy and comfortable method for people to submit their feedback or questions at any event or meeting. This is because 98% of mobile phones can send and receive texts, and the average person already texts numerous times a month. Not only that, but some audience engagement technologies require some sort of app or smart phone to participate, and while ownership of smart phones is on the rise, the majority of people still do not have one. Also, who wants to be forced to install an app on their phone to be able to leave feedback at an event or meeting? As a result, less people participate than before, rather than more.

Using text messages is also an excellent way to distribute any sudden notice, venue change, or other important information and ensure that the majority of your attendees get it.

Text messaging also allows everyone who wants to provide feedback to provide it. With more traditional methods, people would need to wait their turn, and as we all know, it is not always possible to get to everyone in the time allotted for the meeting or event. This means that there could potentially be essential feedback or questions missed out on. Text messaging allows you to save those for later, to ensure they aren’t missed. 

In a nutshell, text messaging software increases audience participation in the following ways:

  • No extra Software is required
  • Comfortable & easy to use with no more learning
  • Provide Answers after meeting session too!
  • Great way to response anonymously

In conclusion, if you start using text messaging in your events and meetings, you can expect to increase your audience participation by quite a bit.

How To Properly Utilize Text Messaging At Your Corporate Events

Corporate events are crucial to a company gathering feedback and input from business partners, employees, and clients. Therefore, it is essential that the event is engaging in order to collect the maximum amount of feedback. Many times organizers of these events fail to make the event as engaging as it could be. For this reason, starting to incorporate text messages can be a good start to making your events more engaging, and thus more successful.

No More Microphones, Use Your Mobile

It is often considered alright if your employees wait in line and give their comments by being passed a microphone or standing in front of a podium. However, can the same be said for your clients and business partners? What if you have 1,000 attendees and everyone has something to say? It can be embarrassing, and frustrating if someone leaves a corporate event without being able to have their say. Text messaging not only allows everyone who wants to chime in chime in, it also allows them to do so in a more anonymous way.

Ask Questions Safely & Anonymously

Traditionally in corporate events attendees need to stand up to ask a question. As a result, some people may not provide feedback because they don’t like to be in the spotlight. In some cases employees are afraid of asking questions on misconduct or some decisions the company is making. This cuts down on crucial feedback the company needs in order to move forward. By adding a layer of anonymity, more people are encouraged to speak their mind.

Invite Attendees To Ask Question Via Mail Or Text Message & Show On Screen

By using text messaging, you are allowing attendees the choice of if they want to give their feedback or ask questions via their phones or e-mail. Also, by ensuring that all questions being asked are being shown on a screen somewhere, it helps to cut down on duplicate questions. This also encourages more engagement because attendees can see that other people may have the same questions or feedback they do.

Make sure you also have the option to moderate questions and not post all of them to the big screen. Some questions are of a more sensitive nature, and not meant for the public eye. By making it a choice if the question is posted or not, you give attendees the security to ask what they want, without risking exposing some sensitive issue that may not have been brought up initially.

See, not only can anonymous text messaging make the attendees more comfortable about asking questions and providing feedback, you won’t miss out on any feedback due to needing to wait one’s turn to chime in.

When should you use text messaging as part of an audience response system?

Audience response systems are one of many vital components to town hall meetings and corporate events, especially today. In fact, it is commonly believed that this is the absolute best way to increase engagement and get feedback from your audience. ARS systems are one type of wireless equipment that can be used to collect feedback, such as on web polls. These systems can also be used for a variety of other real-time response data collection such as; dial-testing, perception analysis, an audience response meter and more. However, many events and town hall meetings are using a text messaging system as part of audience response instead of a complete ARS system. How does text messaging stack up to an ARS system?

Text messaging is low-cost, or sometimes free, for the audience attending a town hall meeting or corporate event. Text messaging is also a preferred method because almost everyone has a mobile phone, and 98% of mobile phones can send and receive text messages. On the other hand, ARS systems are fairly pricey because you need to buy the whole system with enough hardware to cover everyone in your audience to ensure everyone can participate.  

Another advantage to using text messaging is that it is easy. With ARS systems you need to coordinate with an onsite technician, and there are more things that can go wrong. With text messaging, the equipment everyone has, and it only relies on the mobile carriers to work. You also don’t need to worry about buying or renting additional equipment, which may or may not be readily available before your corporate event or town hall meeting.

With text messaging, you won’t need to explain to everyone at your event or meeting how to use their phone. On the other hand, with an ARS system, you will likely need to go through a 5 to 8 minute introductory speech so that everyone knows how to operate the additional equipment. It’s also important to note the range of an ARS system might actually not be enough to get your whole audience, especially at larger events and meetings. Whereas, as long as there is a signal, people will always be able to text.

It’s not hard to imagine how using text messaging can increase audience responsiveness. Almost everyone has a cell phone, and the majority of those text on a regular basis.

There is no question that ARS systems are exceptional for town hall meetings or corporate events, however, text messaging is becoming more popular due to its ease of use, price and compatibility with the audience.

Make Town Hall Meetings More Engaging: Use Text Messaging for Audience Q&A

Town hall meetings are very important as they are used to discuss any outstanding issues which come up and make a good decision. During the meetings, the attendees can raise their hands in order to ask a question, offer an opinion, or raise concerns and issues. But, why are we using this old fashioned method when we live in the digital age? Also, many attendees may not be comfortable fully expressing themselves in such an open way. This results in only some people participating in town hall meetings and can lead to some issues not being resolved.

Using text messaging for audience question & answer sessions is the best solution for town hall meetings because the attendees do not need to hold a microphone to ask their questions, offer an opinion, or raise a concern. Additionally, attendees often feel more comfortable being able to provide their feedback in an anonymous way.  Mosio for Events is a web based software package which will help you to make any town hall meeting more engaging, by allowing anyone to participate quickly, easily, and anonymously..

Mosio for Events offers a system which connects all attendees who have a cell phone at the town hall meeting, and can be easily managed using a web-based back end. The attendees are able to send any questions, feedback, or concerns by simply sending a text message from their phone. Their feedback can then be shared with the rest of the attendees on a screen by using a projector. Moderators can choose which messages they wish to share on screen with a simple click of a button. While the message which is sent is displayed on the screen, the sender’s information, such as name or mobile number, is not shown. This allows for completely anonymous feedback and promotes engagement from those who are worried about having their name attached to it.

Using text messaging for collecting questions, feedback or concerns at a town hall meeting has many advantages. The system is very easy to use and is better than an app because not everyone has a smart phone, but 98% of cell phones can send and receive a text message. The fact that it is anonymous allows those that are too shy to share something by standing in front of an audience to voice their opinions as well. Sometimes, meetings are very short and not everyone has a chance to have their say. By using text messaging many people can submit their questions or feedback and it can be reviewed at any time.

In conclusion, there really isn’t a better way to make town hall meetings more engaging than with text messaging. Mosio for Events will help make your next town hall meeting more engaging, and allow your attendees to submit their questions and feedback more easily than ever before.

texting-in-a-meeting

There are many different ways you can make your event more engaging. If your event is not engaging enough, attendees could lose interest and you could miss out on important information. Therefore, it is extremely important that you utilize the proper event services in order to ensure maximum engagement. Text messaging is one of the best event services you can use to make your event more engaging. Since most people are used to sending and receiving text messages from their family and friends, they will also feel more comfortable submitting feedback and questions at an event that way as well.

Ensure Everyone is Participating by using Text Messaging

Text messaging is one of the key tools you can use to ensure that the majority of your attendees can participate. Over 98% of phones can send and receive text messages, so almost everyone at your event can participate. Most people are very familiar with text messaging, and it is easy to use.

If you can include text messaging in your event services, you are likely to increase attendee engagement a good amount.

More Engaging Events & Sending Important Alerts with text messages

Text messaging makes it extremely easy to send important alerts to your attendees as well. Since 98% of all phones can send and receive messages, you can rest assured that more people will get the important updates you send out.

Phone calls need man power, not everyone will have access to e-mail, but almost everyone will have their cell phones with them. Since 98% of mobile phones can send and receive text messages, you’ll be assured of reaching almost everyone you need to by using text messages.

Affordable Way with No Extra Software

While it is true there are many different software programs and apps available for use at events, not everyone has a smart phone or a tablet. It’s also possible that attendees will not want to go to the trouble of installing a new piece of software on their device. By using software, you then also need to tell your attendees how to use it, and this can lead to frustration and you could actually wind up decreasing your overall engagement at your event. Text messaging is simple to use, cost effective, and over 98% of mobile phones are equipped to handle it. If you make it easy for your attendees to participate, it is more likely they will. Almost everyone can send and receive a text.

8 Reasons to Research Client Feedback With Mobile Phone Surveys

Before you next seek client satisfaction feedback at your agency or private practice, take a look at these eight reasons to consider using mobile phone surveys.

Have you considered utilizing the power of SMS surveys to collect client feedback?
  1. Wide Availability – With an estimated 6.8 billion mobile subscriptions at the end of 2012 at an equivalent to 96% of the world population, there is no denying that conducting research with mobile phone surveys would be accessible to most clients.
  2. Cost Effective – Each IM, SMS, and other web-based interaction costs 1/10th that of Interactive Voice Response (IVR) and 1/100th that of a live agent transaction.
  3. Keep Confidentiality – Given their personal and mobile nature, the average mobile phone rarely leaves the sight of the owner. It has been reported that over 99% of all text messages are read by the recipient themselves. More expensive smartphones are even more likely to be guarded and come with security measures to lock the device or increase the chance of recovery should it be lost or stolen.
  4. SMS is Popular – SMS traffic was estimated to reach 9.6 trillion messages in 2012.
  5. Great Response Rate – SMS Surveys in particular have boasted an average response rate of 25% to 45%.
  6. Prompt Responses – About 90% of all text messages are read within 3 minutes of their delivery, increasing the chances that users will respond to your survey. In fact, 98% of completed SMS surveys are collected within 24 hours.
  7. Organized Data – In addition to a good response rate, collecting survey answers via mobile phone provides an immediate entry of data into a centralized database for analysis and fewer errors in data entry. This is an improvement over the interpretation of barely legible handwritten responses and far less time-consuming.
  8. Proven Success – In the business sector, many businesses have turned to utilizing mobile devices more readily in the interest of competitive advantage. SMS surveys have been used to research customer satisfaction with good results. For instance, 90-94% of customers who answer the first question answer all questions asked and 60-70% of customers provide comments.

Text Messaging News: Beginning today, just text for train ticket, Aid Workers Turn to Text Messaging to Improve Food Aid Delivery to Refugees in the Western Sahara, Text Messaging Remains Vital to Businesses: Survey

Text messaging is always something many believe to be a private matter, and with a new system put in place by Watsonville police, crime-stoppers have managed to take advantage of that line of privacy. Text messages will go through a third party system and then arrive to any police officers on patrol. This new line can be quickly used to give tips to police about new crime they may miss out on, or just to notify the police that something isn’t quite right. We believe that thanks to the high speed nature of texting, this could become a very handy tool.

We all need to call the cab from time to time, but this article is the first to make us realize that there really isn’t any other form of public transport that offers this quick ‘order of service.’ A business in India hopes to change this by allowing train passengers to book for tickets before the train’s arrival. It’s easy to imagine that this could make travel by train a whole lot smoother and more convenient for both those working for the train and the passengers. We really hope we see a similar service being adopted worldwide.

Tips to be taken via text

If you live in Monmouth and want to lend a helping hand to your community you can now text in to the County Sheriff and “tip” them of anything you may think seems a little dodgy in your area. Although the Monmouth police department still advises to call 911 when involved in a crime in progress, you can text to report less serious crimes and advise police officers about anything you may think needs checking. Whether someone has stolen your bike, or there’s an argument over the road that sounds a little too aggressive, you can text in anonymously and your tip will be sent to a computer at the police department.
