Garbage Collection SMS Reminders

Keeping your customers informed should be at the top of the list for any waste management company. It’s often said that the most vocal customers are the most dissatisfied and with service as essential as waste management no one seems to notice unless something has gone wrong.

Managing service for an entire municipality means there are a lot of people to keep updated of regular service and especially when something out of the ordinary is happening. The idea of keeping in contact with all of these customers at once can be daunting.

Text Simple Reminders

Probably the biggest single headache for customers around waste management is forgetting about collection days. You could go a more traditional route and send your customers a reminder via email. The problem is hardly any emails ever get opened, and by the time anyone does open a reminder, it’s too late to make a difference.

But what if the reminder to your customers was front and center in their day? This is the priority you can achieve with text message notifications. Over 95% of all text messages are opened and read, so gone are the days of customers forgetting to do their part in the collection process.

SMS Payment Reminders

The other major hassle that can present itself to any utilities company is the payment of bills by customers. This is another area that text messaging can help the bottom line. You can easily send out reminders to customers about upcoming payments that are due on their accounts.

Even better when a customer is behind on a bill, you can easily have a system in place to send out an automated reminder text message using variable messages. A gentle nudge is much better than a potentially alarming phone call to get your account back on track and paid in full.
