Monarch Broadcast Messaging provides phone broadcasting services. http://www.monarchbroadcast.com/
There are many applications for this type of notification technology. Here are just a few:
• non-profit and association meeting announcements
• organizational event planning, preparation and notifications
• product and service promotions (get permission to send first!)
• customer renewal reminders
• appointment notices and reminders
• educational / school / college reminders including registation and tuition deadlines
• school and business closings / weather broadcasts
• emergency or crisis alerts and instructions
• public health alerts
• political robo calls
• campaign messages
Also known as "voice broadcasting" or "phone blast," this technology is ideal for mass notifications intended to reach a wide audience quickly. You can deliver a message to hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands, of people almost instantaneously. And because nearly everyone carries a phone these days, you are sure that your message will be delivered to the largest possible number of contacts.
If the people you are calling do not answer the phone, the system can automatically wait for the tone on their answering machine or voice mail, and leave a message that they can listen to at their convenience later on.
In general, messages should be concise and if you want people to call a number, it would be a good idea to repeat the number twice.
Keep in mind that you must adhere to new federal regulations. For example, you cannot send any message selling a product or service without first receiving the written consent of those you are calling. Sending "informational" messages is fine, but you cannot use phone broadcasting to indiscriminately send commercial messages. Having a "business relationship" is not enough anymore. You need to get consent from your call recipients. That's why, if you are commercial enterprise, you should begin implementing ways for your customers or prospects to consent to future calls, or even text messages. You can do this with online forms, as just one way to get consent.
Once you have your list of phone numbers -- all 10 digits, including area code, in one spreadsheet column -- you only need to record a message. You can record right over the phone or upload a .wav file. Don't worry too much about this, because we can give you personal customer service and help you ever step of the way. You can launch your own job, or we can do it for you at no additional cost. We're happy to help.
