Event SMS that fills the room and gets people there on time.
Workshops, open days, launches, classes and fundraisers all suffer from the same problem: people say yes, then forget. KiwiTxt sends the invite, collects RSVPs by reply, reminds guests the day before and keeps them updated on the day.
Every stage of an event, by text
- Invite your list or a tagged group, with RSVP by reply.
- Confirm attendance and answer questions one-to-one.
- Remind guests the day before with time, place and parking.
- Update on the day: weather changes, doors opening, room moves.
- Thank guests afterwards with a feedback question or offer.
Why text beats email for events
Event details often change at the last minute. A text reaches people while they're on the way, when an email would sit unread.
Tag your attendees
Tag everyone who replies YES, so reminders and day-of updates only go to people who are coming, and invite them first next time.
Event SMS reminders questions.
Can guests RSVP by text?
Yes. They reply YES (or anything you ask for) and you tag them as attending.
Can I send last-minute changes?
Yes. Send a bulk SMS to everyone tagged as attending.
Is event SMS marketing covered by the spam rules?
Promotional invites need consent and an opt-out under the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007.
