Challenge
Alley Theatre desired to modernize their communication with their patrons, fans, volunteers and donors from near and far, but they only had paper records dating as far back as 60 years.
They quickly realized they needed to change in order to increase donations, this led them to look for ways to begin an Alley Theatre mobile messaging campaign.
Solution
With MobileCause mobile phone number verification, they now could send monthly text messages about events, memberships, and days of giving, and inform supporters about upcoming performances, send engaging videos, and ask for donations.
Impact
They successfully uploaded 166,436 valid phone numbers and 68,640 verified mobile numbers, with a result of 32,820 supporters subscribing to receive ongoing monthly text messages. Now, Alley Theatre can fulfill their mission to share the passion of theatre with their audiences, patrons, and Houston’s diverse community.
