Boost Text Message Subscriptions: Simple, Smart SMS Sign up Forms
It’s a busy world. So it should always be as easy as possible to connect with people. That’s especially true for nonprofits with tight budgets trying to be heard amid the noise. Rally can help—we’ve got simple pop up text message sign up forms that can boost your subscriptions.
Bonus: Our forms are smart, recognizing if a user is on a phone or computer and delivering the best experience for the chosen device.
Here’s How It Works
The pop up forms offer the fastest sign up for short message service (SMS) text messages, while still following the required Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) rules.
On a Smartphone
For mobile devices, the form offers a one-click option. Instead of entering a phone number, users can just press the button to subscribe. Their mobile phone will automatically switch to their message app, pre-populated to send a keyword to a phone number. Hit send and they’re subscribed.
On a Computer
On a desktop or laptop computer, it’s still quick and simple. The sign up form asks for a mobile phone number and an opt-in checkbox. They’ll receive a text message on their phone confirming their text message subscription.
Get Started
It’s vital to grow your list and expand your text message marketing reach. This simple approach makes it easy. Rally customers can create their own forms:
- Create your sign up form and customize it to your heart’s content.
- When you have it how you like it, copy the code and embed it on your website.
- Watch as your website transforms web visitors to text message subscribers.
Then it’s just a matter of sending consistent texts to connect with your audience.
Why It Matters
Anything you can do to minimize signup friction (while ensuring consent—always follow those TCPA rules) will grow your opt-in lists.
That’s a more human-centered experience, and that’s what we like to see. More human, less spam. It’s good for people and it’s good for nonprofits.
