Community Colleges: Student Notification and Alert Messaging, Reminders for Students for Registration, Payment Deadlines, Event and Emergency Notices

on January 5, 2012 12:51 PM | Permalink | TrackBacks (0)

Community colleges across the nation are turning to phone (voice) broadcasting to get reminder notifications and alerts to students for a number of applications including registration, payment deadlines, application processes, event announcements, and emergency notices.

We serve a number of community colleges and also offer text and email broadcast services as well. However, in almost all cases, administrators and managers have chosen phone broadcasting recorded messages as the preferred method to reach students.

Since not all students have access to email or have smartphones, they all are reachable by phone, either at their home or cell phone. Recorded messages can be answered live, or left on voicemail or answering machines -- our system can automatically detect if a live person answers the phone versus voicemail.

Phone broadcasting messages is a powerful, extrememly effective, and easy way to get information out quickly since there is virtually no ramp up time. Within minutes, you can upload your phone list, record your message and have your notice sent to hundreds, even thousands, simultaneously. Moreover, the process can be accomplished at a fraction of the cost of postage.

This technology isn't ideal for all communications -- however, for quick reminders and important notifications, it is ideal and is being adopted more and more by community colleges across the country as the go-to technology that can save time and money, while keeping students in the loop. In fact, community colleges make up about 25% of our entire phone broadcasting customer base, so it's an important segment for us and enables us to have the experience and focus required to serve our clients well.

If you an administrator or manager at a community college registration, finance, admissions, athletics, or security office, we can assist you in designing a communications strategy that will fit your budget and deliver the kinds of results you're looking for. They say "information is king" and at Monarch we'll prove it! Call us today at 888-387-8636.

We provide blast phone services for businesses and organizations that are interested in distributing alerts and notifications to thousands of contacts at once. Setting up an account is fast and easy, and if you have your phone list ready and you know what you want to say, your message can be delivered in minutes.

Blast phone technology has improved considerably over the years and costs have come down as well. You can launch your own job, or at no additional cost, you can have us manage your information campaign from start to finish. If your script has been prepared and is ready to go, you can simply record your message over the phone. Once we have your recorded phone message, we can start delivering it to hundreds or thousands of people simultaneously. It is literally the fast and least expensive way to disseminate information to the masses -- costly only pennies a call and a fraction of what direct mail costs.

Is blast phoning notifications better than emailing? Email is also inexpensive, but unfortunately, well intentioned and important email is getting inadvertently caught in restrictive spam filters and a large amount is not being delivered. Moreover, many people don't read or get to their email for days, even weeks. However, everyone answers their phone or listens to their voicemail.

And that brings up another big advantage of blast phoning -- the ability to leave your message on voicemail or an answering machine. So whether your contact and recipient answers their phone live and listens to your message immediately, or lets your message ring to voicemail, your message is received and delivered. Surveys indicate that nearly everyone checks their voicemail.

Even better, is that you are only charged for successfully delivered messages. There are no charges or fees for bad phone numbers, disconnections, busy signals, or no answers.

Federal regulations prohibit using blast phone techniques (mass dialing for sending pre-recorded messages) for telemarketing or sales purposes unless you have an opt-in list of contacts. However, "informational" messages are fine and can be used for any number of purposes including alerts, announcements, notifications, updates, schedule changes, cancellations, reminders, etc. As long as you aren't selling anything, your message is fine. Also, in the vast majority of states, political messages are also allowed.

Blast phone companies and providers are readily available. We take pride in offering you the best blast phone service on the market with superior customer service with integrated online management controls. Our service and features put us at the front of the pack in giving you a professional and cost effective method to get your messages delivered on time, every time.
