As autumn settles in across the Northern Hemisphere, it’s a good reminder to pause, review, and refresh the small habits that help your communication programs thrive. Whether you’re a nonprofit, large enterprise, or somewhere in between, keeping your mobile programs in top shape doesn’t have to be complicated.
Here are three easy habits to help your fall campaigns run smoother and connect better with your audience—wherever you are.
Keep Your Contact Lists Fresh
Clean data is the heart of every successful mobile campaign. Take a few minutes to check your subscriber lists:
- Remove inactive numbers (double check opt-outs, wrong numbers, deceased contact)
- Double-check that your lists are properly segmented by location or interest
.
- Confirm that your opt-in language follows local compliance standards (10DLC and TCPA).
When your lists are up to date, your messages reach the right people at the right time, which boosts open rates, engagement, and reputation with your audience.
Give Your Automations a Quick Check
Your automated campaigns, like surveys updates, or thank-you messages, work best when they’re reviewed regularly.
- Test your flow to make sure responses and timing feel natural.
- Adjust message wording to reflect the season or your community’s current events.
- If you use Mobile Commons, Waterfall, Rant & Rave, or Hipcricket, check that your triggers and keywords still match your audience’s needs.
Even small updates can help your messages feel more personal and relevant, especially when local or regional events change what your audience cares about.
Take a Moment to Celebrate
Don’t forget to share your wins! Highlight your organization’s recent milestones like reaching a new subscriber count, hitting an organizational goal, or growing community engagement.
- Post local success stories on social media.
- Thank your supporters directly via text.
- Share results with your internal team and partners.
Recognizing progress keeps everyone motivated and reminds your audience that their participation makes a difference.
