CloseBy® Text Marketing has given us the BEST form of communication to reach all of our residents in a QUICK and TIMELY manner! I personally LOVE that I can access the online system for message sending from my desktop, laptop or even my cell phone! It is amazing that I can send a message from the office, my house or while I am on the go! Everything about the program is EASY and EFFECTIVE!
Our residents LOVE that we have the text marketing program for the City of Eureka because it keeps them in the know of emergency situations and information! We have OVER 1,100 residents on our text program and that number is constantly growing! When new residents call in or stop in for information on water bills etc. we ALWAYS tell them about the text program!
