Event planners play a vital role in coordinating all the details that make a successful event, from invitations to entertainment to catering. Using SMS messaging you can instantly simplify coordination with clients, vendors, and guests, and improve the overall event planning process.

 

Benefits of SMS in Event Planning

• Event reminders: With SMS, event planners can send out automated event reminders to clients, vendors, and attendees, reducing the number of no-shows and missed deadlines.
  
  Example: Reminder: Your wedding reception is scheduled for tomorrow at 7 PM. Please arrive on time.
• Event updates: SMS can be used to send event updates to clients, vendors, and attendees, keeping them informed and reducing the number of inquiries and complaints.
  
  Example: Update: The DJ has been confirmed for the event. Music will start at 9 PM.
