Engagement In A Covid Environment

Watch On-demand

In an ever-changing world, one thing remains the most crucial thing your business can invest in: communication. Communicating with clarity and consistency will be the degree to which your business survives or thrives. Your contact strategy needs to be clear, concise and consistent. And most of all, it has to use mediums that people actually engage with.
If there is one medium you need to quickly embed in your contact strategy for your business, it is SMS. With, in most cases, double to three times the open and engagement rate to email, SMS is a game-changer.
