Union communications are mission critical! iZigg’s automated text messaging platform is the perfect way to engage members effectively, boost satisfaction, and streamline operations.

Your members lead active lives. Text messaging is especially effective at increasing participation in union online events, in-person meetings, marches, and pickets or strikes. With onboard automation tools, you can send automated reminders for events and union meetings across voice, email, text, and social media, all from one platform. Broadcasting across multiple platforms is vital to coordinating attendance at last-minute events.

Studies show that many people would prefer to receive support via text message over staying on-hold with telephone support. iZigg can help text-enable your landline phone number, so that union members can ask questions without being put on hold waiting days for an email response. Two-way text support is also an effective tool for gathering feedback from members. You can send interactive text surveys and polls to your contacts to give stakeholders a voice in your union’s direction.
