Case Study: Yuda Bands achieves 20-hour monthly time savings with SimpleTexting

Yuda Bands Nonprofit Saves 20 Hours a Month with Text Messaging

Yuda Bands, a nonprofit that sells handcrafted bracelets to fund scholarships, recruits U.S. high-school students at conferences but was bogged down by a manual contact workflow: paper sign-ups transferred to Excel and Google Contacts, then individual texts to 50–300 attendees per event. To streamline outreach, Yuda Bands became a SimpleTexting customer and began using keywords and a short code to collect and store attendee info automatically.

By using SimpleTexting’s unlimited keywords, short code signup, scheduled campaigns, and auto-confirmation messages, Yuda Bands now builds and organizes subscriber lists by conference and sends automated follow-ups without manual data entry. The change eliminated days of administrative work, improved communication efficiency, and saved the nonprofit about 20 hours a month.
