Posted By: Tim S. on August 30th, 2011 |

Tropical
Storm Katia will develop into a hurricane later this week as it
slowly heads toward the United States.
While
Tropical Storm Katia poses no potential threat at the moment,
DialMyCalls.com recommends you have a mass notification system in
place, should it make landfall in the United States. The soon-to-be
Hurricane Katia could wreak havoc on certain areas of the U.S. and
our unlimited monthly text message plan can help you be prepared. How
do our hurricane text message alerts work?
One
service that DialMyCalls offers is unlimited text message alerts each
month. Being that Hurricane Katia poses a future threat, you could
set up your own emergency notification system. Small municipalities,
communities and even entire states could benefit from our text
message notifications. All you would have to do is sign up for an account, import
a list of all of the contacts you want to send the hurricane text
message alerts out to and voila! With the click of a button,
thousands of people can receive your message in a matter of minutes.
Will
the roads be closed because Hurricane Katia caused flooding? Is your
community under a mandatory evacuation? Are people that you know
missing and you want to spread the word that you are looking for
them? DialMyCalls allows you to create your own custom text message
and send it out to everyone in your contact list. Best of all, our
monthly plan allows you to send an unlimited amount of text message
alerts to your entire list of phone numbers!
Even
though Hurricane Katia is still a good distance out, don't be caught
off guard should the storm pose a threat to the United States. Sign

Non-Profit Text Message Fundraiser Alerts
Posted By: Tim S. on August 29th, 2011 |

DialMyCalls' unlimited monthly text
messages can be of extreme benefit to nonprofit organizations to
start up a SMS fundraising campaign to help them raise money.
Nonprofits host charity events and
fundraisers in an attempt to raise money for their groups cause. Here
at DialMyCalls.com we believe that our mass notification system would
be perfect for non-profits as they could use our unlimited monthly
text messages to reach a much broader audience, instantly.
A non-profit organization can set up
personalized text message fundraiser alerts to help them achieve
their goal. The group would simply sign up for DialMyCalls, choose an
unlimited monthly plan (depending on how many people they would be
contacting every month) and instantly begin raising money. Let's say
a charity dinner was coming up next week, the nonprofit could send
out a text message to thousands of possible donors on their contact
list that says: Help Support Our Group, Reply With “YES” To
Attend Our Charity Dinner Monday At 8PM.”
Nonprofits can also use DialMyCalls to
set up their own personal text message fundraising campaign. Groups
can set up their own custom keyword and register a unique SMS
shortcode. Once that is in place, they can continue to expand their
list of donors by spreading the word, telling people to “Text
'FUNDRAISER' to 80123 if you are
interested in info regarding our charity events/fundraisers.” Our
system will then build a contact list of everyone that texted the
keyword into the shortcode. The non-profit group now has more
potential donors that they can alert when an upcoming fundraiser is
about to begin.
If you are a non-profit organization
out there, DialMyCalls is a great service to help with your
fundraising efforts. Sign up today and you will get our 20% discount
that we offer to all nonprofits!

Radio Station Playlists, Contest Alerts, Promotional Text Message Ads
Posted By: Tim S. on August 19th, 2011 |
DialMyCalls offers a great solution for
radio stations across the country with our unlimited monthly text
message plans.
Using a mass notification system such
as DialMyCalls.com can be extremely beneficial to radio stations
looking to increase their listener base. Local stations can set up an
account with our service and begin to use the system instantly; there
are no setup fees. Whether it be for contest alerts, song playlists
or promotional advertising, our text message service is perfect for
any radio station. How exactly does it work?
A radio station would simply sign up
for DialMyCalls and then choose a payment option. Our monthly plans
include unlimited text message to X amount of contacts which would
probably be the best solution for a large radio networks. Now it's
time to get creative and the possibilities of uses are endless. Let's
take a look at a couple of different ways that radio stations can use
our mass notification system.
Do you want to give your listeners the
ability to receive a text message with the last 10 songs played? You
can create a custom SMS keyword such as “LAST10” and then create
a personalized text message that will be sent out anytime a listener
texts the keyword to your personal shortcode (80123).
Contest alerts are another great
service that DialMyCalls can offer via text message. Radio stations
can tell their listeners to text “CONTESTS” to 78837 which will
then add them to their phone number contact list. From that point,
the radio stations can periodically send out text messages to every
listener (that texted “CONTESTS” to 80123), alerting them of new
contests that are being held.
Once the radio stations have built up a
large contact list of all of their listeners, they may start selling
advertising text messages to businesses. Basically how this would
work is a company would pay the radio station to send out a
personalized text message to all of their listeners. For example, the
text message ad would read “Stop by Rick's Roadhouse for Happy Hour
Monday Night – WRUE108” (WRUE108 would be the radio station).
