Introducing ClassForKids' Premium SMS Feature: Connect with Parents Instantly!

Hey there, fabulous club owners! We're thrilled to unveil our brand-new Premium SMS feature, designed to make your life easier and your clubs even more successful. 

What is the Premium SMS Feature? Imagine having a direct line to parents in your pocket: now you can have just that if you are a club owner operating in the UK or Ireland! Plus, text messages have a higher chance of being seen than emails, making last-minute communications easy as ABC! 

Our Premium SMS feature lets you send custom texts to parents right from the contacts or schedule page, all within a 160-character limit. Whether it's class cancellations, urgent updates, or friendly reminders, this feature has got you covered. AND, emojis work too!

Wondering about costs? Premium SMS messages are charged at just 6p per SMS, and they're conveniently invoiced as part of your monthly ClassForKids payment. So, you can send important messages without breaking the bank. 

How can you know it works? Our SMS beta test results were off the charts! Clubs saw a significant boost in attendance with SMS reminders. It's a game-changer! We also learned what topics club owners used the premium SMS feature for the most, which is why we’ve created some copy-and-paste texts on the most-used topics! 

Looking for more information? Check out our Q&A forum!
