What can martial arts schools do with SMS?
−
You can confirm classes, remind families about belt testing, share schedule changes, promote events, send follow-ups to new students, and request reviews. SMS strengthens communication and boosts enrollment.
How quickly do families respond to texts?
+
Most texts are read within minutes, which makes SMS perfect for urgent updates like weather closures, event announcements, or last-minute schedule changes.
Can we use our existing school number?
+
Yes. You can text-enable your main line so parents and students can text or call the same number. Messages can be routed to instructors or administrators automatically.
How do after-hours auto-replies work?
+
When the school is closed, an auto-reply acknowledges the message, collects details such as student name or class level, and explains when to expect a response.
Can we segment messages and track results?
+
Yes. Segment by age group, program type, rank, or attendance history. Track responses, renewals, and event participation to measure ROI.
Does this integrate with our CRM or class management software?
+
Textellent integrates with CRMs, POS systems, and scheduling platforms to keep student records, payments, and conversations in sync.
What about compliance and opt-in or opt-out?
+
Families opt in through forms, QR codes, or keywords. Every SMS includes opt-out instructions, and STOP and HELP requests are processed automatically for compliance.
Can we try Textellent for free?
+
Yes. Martial arts schools can start with a 14-day free trial to test SMS campaigns, reminders, and class communications before upgrading.
