MESSAGEbuzz Delivers Critical Messages to the Right People In Seconds
Saint Louis, MO - April 20, 2007. MESSAGEbuzz, one of the nation's premier self-service mobile marketing firms, is helping college and university administrators build emergency communication plans for students and staff. Mobile phone text alerts and e-mails are one of the most reliable ways to relay emergency messages to thousands of people in mere seconds.
"College students are constantly on the go and their mobile phone is the best way to reach them," said MESSAGEbuzz CEO Steven Kelley. "Whether it is a public-safety threat like the recent shootings at Virginia Tech, a weather advisory, or other threat, text is the fastest way to alert students and faculty. A message can be sent in less than a minute to thousands of subscribers. In fact, it takes longer to compose the message than to actually send it to thousands of mobile devices and cell phones," added Kelley.
Kelley is familiar with linking students on multiple campuses to critical information. MESSAGEbuzz's easy-to use web-based system has been used to transmit information to students at the University of Southern California. The instant message system also links two campuses of Neosho Community College with an easy-to use web-based system that puts information in the hands of students. MESSAGEbuzz delivers alerts to students in their preferred method of communication; the mobile phone. Often this younger demographic is harder to reach via more traditional forms of communication.
MESSAGEbuzz not only delivers emergency messages to the right people at the right time; but can also help educators and school administrators design interactive contests, sweepstakes, trivia games, and activities to publicize campus activities and encourage student participation.
