Mobile Updates Drive Event Turnout

November 24, 2009

Results: 67% of attendees at key event were active mobile update subscribers.  

St. Mary's University recently held "Sleeping Bag Weekend".  Historically, the event is a key indicator of likelihood to enroll.  Mobile Updates were sent to bolster attendance / awareness.  Two examples of the messages below.

Sent a week in advance:
 Sleepingbag1

Sent less than a day in advance:
 Sleepingbag2

Imagine you are a prospective student - packing/preparing for an event.  New text message: it's the institution reminding you not to forget your toothbrush!  Now that's a positive brand experience!  Great work, StMarysU!
