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.
