[civsa] Text Messaging prospects and admits

[Amber Rivers]

Good Afternoon!

I know that there is software out there that includes a text messaging component for campus visits, however, what about general text messaging to prospects and admits?  My questions are:
1. Are you currently texting prospects and admits?
2. What software do you use to do so and is it part of your CRM software package?
3. Do prospects and/or admits have to opt in to receive and how do they opt in?

Thank you for any and all feedback!
