Open Rates Don't Fund Your Mission. Clicks Do.

Most SMS platforms still focus on:

  • Message delivery
  • Open rates
  • Volume sent

But opens don't drive donations.

Clicks are the moment a supporter takes action.

That's why Rally optimizes every campaign—and backs it with a guarantee.

When your text messages are trusted, branded, and action-oriented, supporters click.

Donor Stewardship

Keep supporters engaged year-round with impact updates, thank-yous, and stories of lives changed. Two-way texting builds lasting relationships.

Event Promotion & RSVPs

Fill gala seats, volunteer events, and community gatherings. Text invitations get 90%+ open rates vs 20% for email.

Volunteer Coordination

Fill shifts for meal service, shelter operations, and outreach. Two-way texting responds to urgent needs faster than email chains.

Emergency Alerts

Notify donors, volunteers, and staff during crises. When winter storms hit or demand spikes, reach everyone within minutes.

Client Success Stories

Share transformation stories that inspire giving. MMS with photos and videos creates emotional connections that drive action.

Example: MMS story: John's journey from shelter to employment

Mobilize supporters for policy advocacy, community meetings, and awareness campaigns. Text campaigns drive immediate participation.

Example: Text ADVOCATE to join our housing policy campaign

Why Rally Delivers Higher Click Rates

Branded Sending Builds Instant Trust

Supporters are far more likely to click when they immediately recognize who a message is from.

Rally enables branded sending so every message clearly represents your organization, not a generic sender.

Custom Short Link Domains Increase Confidence

Unfamiliar links reduce clicks. Rally allows you to use your own branded short domains, which:

  • Feel safer
  • Improve deliverability
  • Increase click-through rates
  • Protect your brand reputation

Messages Designed for Action

Rally goes beyond plain text:

  • Video and image messages (MMS)
  • Branded, trackable links
  • Tap-to-donate and 1-click actions
  • Personalization and segmentation

Higher relevance leads to higher clicks.

Our 15% Engagement Guarantee

Opens don't build relationships. Clicks do.

For qualifying campaigns:

  • We guarantee a minimum 15% click rate
  • If performance falls short, we credit your Rally account
  • Clear terms, transparent reporting, no fine-print games

Engagement means action — RSVPs, replies, sign-ups, donations.
Rally is built to drive the clicks that matter.
