When you think of SMS marketing, do you picture an impersonal sales promo from a big box store, a Friday night offer from a pizza chain, or \u2013 even worse \u2013 a dry reminder about an upcoming dentist appointment? While those are all perfectly legitimate, there\u2019s so much more to SMS these days. It can be creative, personal, carefully targeted and even inspirational. It\u2019s also a quick, cost-effective way to reach your audience.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For not-for-profit organisations (NFPs) who want to make emotional connections but can\u2019t necessarily spend up large on media, that\u2019s a winning combination.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what\u2019s the most impactful way to use SMS marketing<\/a> in your not-for-profit or charity? We look at some super-simple, super-successful examples from four NFPs to get you started.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Getting the word out for a worthy cause  <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Camp Quality<\/a> supports Aussie kids aged 0-13 who have been diagnosed with cancer. The non-profit org delivers a range of innovative programmes and services for these kids in a bid to strengthen their wellbeing \u2013 and support their families \u2013 during treatment. It\u2019s an incredibly worthy cause that the team behind Camp Quality clearly feels passionate about.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to an SMS Salesforce integration<\/a> (powered by Sinch MessageMedia), the NFP has changed the way they communicate with their audience. Instead of sending event invites and reminders via email or social media, they\u2019ve started sending SMS messages to families in their network. The result: Attendance rates at their events have risen significantly.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outcome is positive for a few reasons. First, better attendance means more kids benefit from Camp Quality events and services. Second, having more people means more efficient use of resources like vendors, event staff, and venue costs, maximising the value of donations. Thirdly (and finally), Camp Quality staff can send targeted messages through the SMS platform in seconds, saving significant time on outreach. It\u2019s a triple win.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camp Quality is so pleased with the results that they\u2019re planning to implement SMS outreach for their volunteer base next.  <\/p>\n\n\n\r\n
