Case Study: Churches & Religious Organizations recruit 250+ new members in one day and streamline outreach with Betwext

How Churches Are Using SMS Marketing

Churches and Religious Organization (UChurch) faced recruiting and communications challenges at Arizona State University’s Club Day and with ongoing member outreach: paper sign-up sheets produced typos and missed contacts, and leaders spent 2–3 hours sending individual texts and manually tracking unsubscribes. They turned to Betwext and its online text messaging software to streamline signups and group messaging.

Betwext implemented keyword-driven signups (text “ASU”), a welcome message with a survey for segmentation, scheduled broadcasts, and automatic unsubscribe handling. The result: more than 250 new contacts in a few hours, a group list of 300+ members, messaging time cut from hours to under five minutes, saved roughly two hours of work, and improved event attendance and engagement. Betwext’s tools also enabled creative uses like anonymous Q&A during services and targeted event reminders.
