Use text 2 vote to run a contest, tally votes, and pick a winner. Text to vote can be used in many settings: schools, talent contests, new product search, picking a design, and many, many others.
The Text Monster text to vote feature is simple to use, create a word for each option the users can vote for and then tell them the number to send their vote to.
Sample Text 2 Vote Campaign
What is your favorite menu item: Taco, Burrito, Enchilada, or Chimi? Text your answer to 318-555-1212
A customer then texts Taco to 318-55-1212 and gets a message back saying, “Your vote for Tacos has been counted! Watch for text coupons and special offers on all our Taco combinations!
Another customer texts Chimi to 318-555-1212 and gets your custom message, “Your vote for Chimis has been counted! Stay tuned for special discount offers on our best Chimi meals!”
The Tally
Each customer texts in for their favorite item and the system captures each number, giving you a total count of the number of contacts that text in to each word. Now you have targeted lists set up telling you which client base is most likely to use special offers on each menu item.
