Addressing a person by their name is powerful, it grabs their attention. People appreciate being acknowledged and using their name is a courteous way of recognizing them and letting them know you value them. To quote Dale Carnegie-“A person’s name is to him or her the sweetest and most important sound in any language.”
With EventTexting, First Name and Last Name fields are included in the personalization feature by default. Other fields can be added like dates and times that correspond to the client’s personal information. Your custom fields could be your client’s final payments, birthdays, anniversaries, initial consultation date, time, and more! These custom fields are how you are able to create different Reminder Campaigns.
