You want to hear from your listeners--but handling phone-in requests is expensive and time-consuming. You've said to yourself: There has to be a better way! And now there is. Enter a Radio Text Messaging solution from Club Texting.

Club Texting's Radio Text Messaging Software System allows station staff and DJs to quickly communicate (back and forth) with listeners. Gone are the days of jammed phone lines and scribbled down requests. With our system, listeners can communicate with their favorite radio station DJs by simply sending a text message using their mobile phone. These can include song requests, shout outs, polls, voting for contests, and much much more.

With the 2-way interactivity of Club Texting’s system, DJs can also send SMS alerts directly to their listeners. SMS alerts can be in the form of news, event announcements, contests, or revenue-generating advertisements.

The uses of our text messaging system are only limited by your station staff's imagination: Listeners can send in their requests directly to radio DJs using their mobile phones. They can vote in contests and participate in polls--and our software will automatically tabulate the results, allowing you to view them in real time as they are texted in.

Club Texting’s Text Messaging Solution for Radio Advertisers is the perfect way to offer added value to current and potential advertisers. As part of your advertising package, give your advertisers the ability to retain valuable customer information just from running an ad on your station. In response to an incentive heard on-air, listeners can text in your advertisers’ keywords to get more information or for a chance to win a special prize. There is no other method of collecting such valuable, opt-in subscriber data. Offers like this will set your station apart from your competition.

Club Texting's Text Messaging Solution for Radio will enhance and ease listener communications, at the same time reducing your time and expenditures. Further, as you build up a database of subscribers, you will be able to generate new streams of advertising revenue by delivering text-based advertisements and offers to your subscribers.

How Mobile Marketing for Radio Works:

1. Customers hears your keyword listening to the radio. They text the keyword (which can be your station's Call Letters) in to 25827 in order to request a song, vote in a contest, make a shout out, or participate in whatever promotion you are running.

2. Club Texting delivers your listener's message to the DJ or another staff member at the station. Depending on the content of the message, the DJ can then fulfill a song request, announce a contest, make a shout out, etc.

3. Whenever your station wants to announce a contest, promote an event/advertiser, or communicate any other urgent news to your listeners, you log on to the Club Texting website to instantly send an (SMS) text message to your entire database.
