Email campaign or Broadcast - what's the difference?
Wondering if your message is ideal for a Broadcast? Here are the top identifiers:
  • Your message is short - an announcement or reminder
  • Your message is primarily text - no pictures, attachments, or multiple links
  • You want to send the message through SMS text, email, or both

Email campaigns are great for newsletters while Broadcasts are perfect for last-minute updates, event reminders, or short announcements. You can also send Broadcasts to admins only or to your entire chapter.
Pro Tip: Even when you're out to lunch or on the go, you can send or schedule a Broadcast through the mobile app. Communicate with your members anytime, anywhere.

Super Pro Tip:  Text messages have a 98% open rate. Who doesn't check texts on their phone? Try sending out a Broadcast; more are increasingly wanting to receive texts because of their convenience.
