Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Texting is an increasingly popular way for organizations and individuals to reach out to a large number of people quickly and efficiently. However, like any communication method, there are certain do’s and don’ts to keep in mind to ensure that your texts are effective and well-received. Here are some tips for successful Peer-to-Peer Texting:
Use a personalized approach: When sending out texts, make them as personalized as possible. Use the recipient’s name, and tailor the message to their interests and needs. This helps them feel like they are being spoken to directly, rather than receiving a generic message. With Peerly, you can go a step further with visual personalization as well. Peerly’s custom fonts make your message really stand out.
Keep it clear and simple: Text messages are best kept clear and to the point. Be clear about what you’re trying to convey and avoid using too many technical terms or jargon. Stick to simple language and short sentences.
Provide value: Make sure that the text message you’re sending provides value to the recipient.
Optimize for mobile: Remember that many people will be reading your texts on mobile devices, so ensure the content is optimized for smaller screens. Use short paragraphs and bullet points to make the text more scannable.
Be respectful of people’s time: Make sure that you’re not sending messages at inconvenient times or bombarding people with too many texts. Use your best judgment and be respectful of people’s time and attention.
Use overly informal language: While it’s important to be friendly and approachable, using overly informal language or slang can come across as unprofessional. Stick to a more professional tone.
Be too pushy: While it’s important to provide value and make a persuasive case, don’t be too pushy in your messaging. This can turn people off and lead to them ignoring your messages.
By following these do’s and don’ts, you can ensure that your P2P texting efforts are effective and well-received. This will help your organization achieve their goals. To get started with Peer-to-Peer Texting, sign up today.
