If you’re looking to create a truly interactive experience for your customers and prospects using SMS, then text to win is exactly what you’re looking for. It involves people communicating in real-time, texting their messages to a screen at an events and venues such as concerts, monster truck rallies, sports games, clubs, bars, etc. It is a way for your end users to communicate both with you as well as with other end users. The beauty of it is that it can essentially become anything you want it to be.

Text to screen is a feature of SMS marketing that allows people to send a text message to a phone number, then that message will be displayed on some type of a screen (projection, TV, etc.) The screen is in an area where a lot of people can see it, so they can read and react to what’s being said by others. By running text to screen, you are essentially giving a voice to your customers and prospects, and they absolutely love this.

There are several ways you can implement text to screen at your next next event. Here are some ideas that have worked very well in the past.

Promotions

This works especially well if you are a venue owner, or are going to use a venue for an event. You can send messages to the screen promoting various different sales, specials, or events you and your company have going on at the time. Since everyone at the venue can see the screen, you are marketing to all of these people.

Text to Screen Chat

You can create an on-screen conversation between all of your end users using screen chat. This is where people will communicate on your screen using text messages. To put it simply, it’s like an online chat room on your screen, except way more cool.

Sporting Events

You can use the stadium’s jumbotron or big screen to allow fans to text messages to their team, cheer them to victory, or interact with other fans.

Clubs and Bars

If you have a club or bar with a large screen that everyone can see, then you can use it to unify everyone in your establishment. Imagine that the place is stuffed with people, and you see a pretty girl dancing on the other side of the room and you want to meet her, but you don’t feel like shoving your way through a sea of people to get to her. Using text to screen, you can simply text her a message via the in-club screen and invite her over for some drinks. You can also use this to promote drink and food specials within the bar or club.

User Feedback

You can get feedback from everyone at your event, venue, or establishment and find out what people want and are feeling. You can simply post a question or poll and have users respond with a number or phrase. You could literally initiate a special on the spot using the feedback from your users, which would only make them love you more.
