PlusOne – Marketing Musings

SMS is ideally suited for the style of rapid communication needed to alert groups of people about important notifications.

Swine flu notifications by SMS is a perfect example.

Recently in Queensland there was some bad press over a school that was not as prompt in organising notifications to parents that the school had been closed. The use of a simple SMS blast to all parents, would have simplified the process. One text message about the closure could have been used in addition to the usual, slower methods.

Of course such alerts can be used across a range of business and community situations to provide a cheap and effective communication tool.

PlusOne has facilities to allow businesses and schools to easily self- manage outbound messages at low cost.

This is a pay-as-you-go system that uses a credit card for payment, which can then easily be recouped from the department or business. Accounts are free to set up and you are only charged when you send messages.
