This session will help activists learn how to optimize their texting program in an increasingly regulated environment. We’ll discuss best practices for deliverability and how to avoid being audited, paused, or having your program stopped altogether. If you’re familiar with running texting campaigns but would like to learn more about how 10DLC could impact your digital field strategy, this session is for you. From texting volunteers to persuasion and ballot curing, we know how important it is for your messages to get delivered; we’re here to share everything you can do to make sure that happens. In the midst of this uncertain regulatory environment, we’ll teach you how to stay informed and run an effective program.
