Textmunication gives your chamber automated SMS/MMS for event RSVPs, renewal collection, and emergency notices โ plus a partnership program that turns member communication into a revenue line for your chamber.
TRUSTED AND ENJOYED BY THE BEST
Hundreds of member businesses, one small staff, and email that nobody reads. If any of this sounds familiar, SMS/MMS automation is the fix.
Mixers, ribbon cuttings, and luncheons go out by email and get buried. Staff end up phoning members one by one to get a headcount before every event.
Membership renewal notices sit unread in spam-clogged inboxes. Chasing lapsed dues eats staff hours that should go toward member programming, not collections.
Severe weather, road closures, or a downtown safety alert needs to reach every member business in minutes โ not whenever they next check email.
A business joins the chamber excited, gets a welcome email, and is never heard from again. Without a real onboarding sequence, membership value never gets proven.
Purpose-built SMS/MMS tools for event turnout, dues collection, and member retention.
Send SMS/MMS reminders for mixers, ribbon cuttings, luncheons, and networking nights. Members reply YES to RSVP โ you get a live headcount without a single phone call.
Trigger renewal reminders 30, 14, and 3 days before dues are due, with a direct payment link in the text. Members who get timely reminders renew at far higher rates than those who don't.
Push exclusive member-to-member deals, co-op promotions, or chamber-sponsored discounts to your full list in minutes โ the same channel members already trust for chamber news.
One broadcast reaches every member business instantly โ closures, road work, severe weather, or a downtown safety alert. SMS/MMS gets read within 3 minutes on average; email doesn't.
Automatically welcome new members with a text series covering benefits, upcoming events, and a personal invite to their first mixer or ribbon cutting โ so membership value is obvious from day one.
Members text questions about events, benefits, or billing and your team replies from a shared inbox โ fast, personal answers without playing phone tag.
Your chamber doesn't have to just buy SMS/MMS โ it can offer it. Chambers can promote Textmunication as a negotiated member benefit, giving every member business discounted access to SMS/MMS marketing while your chamber earns referral revenue on every member that signs up.
Whether you run a 200-member local chamber or a metro-wide association, Textmunication fits your membership.
Keep every member business in the loop on events, advocacy updates, and local business news.
Coordinate communication across a larger, more dispersed membership without losing the personal touch.
Hispanic, Black, Women's, and other affinity chambers use SMS/MMS to reach members who are always on their phones, not always in their inbox.
Alert partner businesses to visitor traffic, seasonal campaigns, and co-marketing opportunities in real time.
Send BID assessment reminders, streetscape updates, and event promotion to every business on Main Street.
Engage your fastest-growing, most mobile-first member segment on the channel they actually respond to.
Yes โ as long as you collect proper written consent when businesses join or opt in through a sign-up form. Textmunication is fully TCPA-compliant and handles opt-in and opt-out management automatically, so your chamber is protected from day one without needing a legal team.
Chambers can offer Textmunication to member businesses as a value-add benefit at a negotiated member rate โ and earn referral commission (up to 20% through our standard Affiliate Program, or a custom reseller/white-label arrangement for larger chambers) on every member that signs up. It's a revenue line and a member benefit at the same time, not just a vendor purchase for the chamber office.
Yes. The chamber's own account (event reminders, renewals, emergency notices) stays completely separate from any member business's own SMS/MMS program. Larger chambers running the partnership as a reseller get parent/sub-account structure so member businesses manage their own campaigns under the negotiated chamber rate.
You compose one message and send it to your full member list (or a filtered segment) in a single broadcast. SMS/MMS is read within 3 minutes on average, so a weather closure or safety alert reaches nearly your entire membership before most people would even open an email.
Most chambers are live within 48 hours. Setup includes importing your member directory, configuring your first automated sequence (renewals or event reminders are the most common starting point), and completing 10DLC carrier registration. Our onboarding team handles the full setup.
See how your chamber can automate event reminders, renewals, and emergency notices โ and offer members a partnership benefit that pays your chamber back.
