Girl Scout Cookies Text Message Alerts
Posted By: Tim S. on January 12th, 2012

girl scouts text message alerts

It's Girl Scouts Cookie season and DialMyCalls offers a great solution for troop leaders all across the country to keep in touch with their customers.

DialMyCalls can utilize its mass notification system to send out Girl Scout Cookies text message alerts. Local troop leaders can set up an account with us and then begin using the power of text messaging to spread the word on their Girl Scouts and sell a ton of cookies. How exactly do our text message alerts work?

The Girl Scouts troop leader can sign up for an account at DialMyCalls.com - it's absolutely free to sign up, no hidden fees or charges. The next thing that needs to be done is for a special keyword to be chosen. This will be the unique keyword that people text in to the SMS short code to opt-in to their Girl Scout Cookies text message alerts. For example, the Girl Scouts troop leader can choose the keyword "COOKIES."? Locals interested in buying Girl Scout cookies can then text "COOKIES"? to 80123 which will automatically add them to the troop leader's DialMyCalls account.

A custom welcome message can be created and will be sent out to every one that opts in to receive the Girl Scout Cookie text message alerts. (Example: "Thank you for your interest in buying Girl Scout Cookies, we will message you with more details soon! - Girl Scouts of South Florida"?)

The Girl Scouts troop leader can then login to their account on DialMyCalls and instantly send everyone who opted in to their alerts a unique text message! (Example: "Girl Scouts of South Florida will be at the store on Southern Blvd. between 9am and 5pm selling cookies!")

Using our monthly plans an unlimited amount of text messages can be sent out - this is perfect for these type of alerts!

Start sending out Girl Scout Cookies text message alerts today by signing up for an account with DialMyCalls.

hurricane ophelia

Tropical Storm Ophelia is steadily strengthening out in the Atlantic Ocean and DialMyCalls wants you to be prepared should it make landfall in the United States.

DialMyCalls knows a thing or two about hurricanes as we are located in Jupiter, Florida and we know that being prepared is vital. With Hurricane season at its peak, Tropical Storm Ophelia will most likely strengthen before it threatens to hit the United States and our text message alerts can help you, should the storm make landfall in your area.

Small communities, cities, groups (such as churches) and families can use our voice broadcasting service as an emergency notification system. Let's use Tropical Storm Ophelia as an example since it's a potential threat to the United States. Once signed up for DialMyCalls, the user can begin to import all of their contacts that they would like to receive their text message alerts. Once all of the numbers you wish to contact are in your control panel, you will be able to send them all a voice message or text message instantly.

Should Hurricane Ophelia pose a threat to your community or family, you can send out a text message like the following: “Please evacuate your homes and head to the local church shelter as we prepare for Ophelia to hit our community.” After creating your custom text message alert, you may then send it out to everyone in your contact list instantly – it will be received with in a matter of seconds.

While traditional weather alert systems still work, we here at DialMyCalls believe that our text message alerts are a much more efficient and quick way to notify thousands of people at once. Be prepared for Tropical Storm Ophelia by signing up for our voice broadcasting service today!

pet adoption alerts

DialMyCalls provides a mass notification system that allows animal shelters to send citizens looking to adopt a pet new text message alerts as they receive new animals.

Are you an Animal Shelter with an overwhelming amount of cats and dogs that need to find a happy home? The amount of pet adoptions that occur on a daily basis is pretty amazing and here at DialMyCalls we can offer a way to increase it even more. Pet adoption alerts would utilize our voice broadcasting system and send out text message alerts every time a new puppy, kitten, cat or dog was in search of a new loving home.

An animal shelter can sign up DialMyCalls with a few simple steps and start sending out pet adoption alerts instantly. Once your account is created, you can set up a text message campaign within your members area. You will pick a keyword such as “ADOPTNOW” and then an SMS shortcode (80123) which best suits your needs. Upon creation, you are now ready to start collecting the phone numbers of people interesting in receiving your pet adoption text message alerts.

Animal shelters can start advertising their alerts on billboards, commercials, fliers, websites and social media sites with the message: “Text “ADOPTNOW” to 80123 to receive alerts when new pets become available for adoption.” You could even go as far as setting up to separate ones for those who prefer to adopt either a cat or dog. (“ADOPTCATNOW” or “ADOPTDOGNOW”) Everyone who opts in to receive these pet adoption alerts will now be added to the shelters contact list within their DialMyCalls control panel.

These contact lists can now be used by the shelters to send out the actual pet adoption alerts.

sms reply service

DialMyCalls is pleased to announced that we now offer our customers the ability to create an SMS reply service – most commonly known as two-way text messaging or inbound texting.

Along with our voice broadcasting services, we have offered text message alerts for quite some time now. Those text message alerts just got a complete overhaul as we now offer the ability to set up an SMS reply service (2 Way SMS). What exactly is two-way text messaging and how can it benefit you and your business or organization?

An SMS reply service, otherwise known as two-way text messaging allows you to send out thousands of text messages and then receive replies to those messages within your DialMyCalls control panel. Let's use a church in our example at how this brand new inbound texting service can be extremely beneficial.

Your church is throwing a charity picnic over the weekend and you want to text message your entire congregation. If you already have a DialMyCalls account then you should have your churchgoers' phone numbers already imported into your contact list. Once you make sure you have enough credits to send everyone a text message (1 credit = 1 140 character text message) then you will need to sign up for our inbound text messaging service – it only costs $4.99/month for an unlimited amount of SMS replies)

Upon adding the new two-way text messaging service to your DialMyCalls account, you are now ready to go. Write up a text message that you would like to send out to your entire church congregation, for example: “We are hosting a charity picnic this Sunday at our church, please reply if you are coming and what you are able to bring.” Since you just signed up for our new inbound text message feature, you will now start receiving replies from everyone that you sent your message to.

All your church members have to do is simply reply to your text message and the results will show up in your DialMyCalls control panel. You can now keep track of how many people will be attending your charity picnic as well as who is bringing what!

Don't waste any time, sign up for the brand new SMS Reply Service, Two-Way Text Messaging (Inbound Texting) and start reaping the benefits today!

Posted By: Tim S. on September 14th, 2011

movie alerts

Are you an avid fan of going to the movie theater and watching all of the brand new movie releases?

DialMyCalls and our voice broadcasting system can be utilized by cinephiles and movie fans all around the country. Motion picture studios can offer information on new movie releases via text message alerts to thousands of people instantly. Along with information regarding new movie releases, studios and motion picture organizations can send out exclusive invitations to special screenings and premiere events.

Let's use the new Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn as an example at how these new movie text message alerts could be utilized. Summit Entertainment, the production company behind the Twilight movies would simply sign up for a DialMyCalls account. From that point on they could set up a custom text message keyword such as “TWILIGHT” and choose an SMS shortcode (80123). Once their custom keyword and shortcode are all setup, they can start promoting movie alerts on their website, in commercials and via social media platforms such as Twitter or Facebook.

A sample message on any of those platforms would read something like the following: “Text 'TWILIGHT' to 80123 to receive exclusive information regarding the movies release date, special screenings and giveaways.” Once fans of the movie start texting in, DialMyCalls would begin populating the contact list within Summit Entertainment's control panel. Now they are able to create custom text messages such as new movie alerts, contests, screenings and release dates in which they can send to thousands of people instantly with the click of a button.

If you are a motion picture studio who have not yet started utilizing the power of text message alerts for your new movie releases then I suggest you sign up for DialMyCalls today!
