What is a text blast<\/strong>? It\u2019s a single text message sent to a large group of people at the same time using a texting software<\/a>. They\u2019re usually text-only, but in some cases they can include links, emojis, animated GIFs, photos, or even videos. Text blasts are usually impersonal: typically, they don\u2019t show the recipient\u2019s name or any other type of personalization.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Text blasts are a type of mass texting<\/a>, but with certain differences. The main one is that, as mentioned before, they are impersonal. Another important difference is immediacy. Text blasts are commonly used to send emergency alerts or just messages that hold important information and don\u2019t really need to engage the recipient in a personal way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, an SMS coupon with a promo code can totally be used in a text blast campaign because that appeals to a larger number of people who don\u2019t really care about being contacted on a personal level: they just want the benefit related to the coupon. On the other hand, a doctor appointment reminder needs to be personalized and include the name of the patients and other personal information so they can make sure the message they receive is for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
