Referral Rewards Program

Rapid Notify is pleased to announce an exciting new Referral Reward Program to all of our valued customers. With this new program, our customers can earn discounts toward their next annual renewal fee.

We will offer a 5% discount (up to $500 per referral) on the next annual service renewal for every referral a current customer provides us who becomes a new Rapid Notify customer. For example, if an annual service renewal is $10,000, a 5% discount equals $500 off your next year of service. Customers who provide us with two referrals who become customers can save up to $1,000!

Saving money for your organization is just a phone call away.

HOW IT WORKS:

1. Provide complete contact information for a potential mass notification customer (personal introductions are appreciated).
2. Your organization will be designated as the referral source.
3. We will contact the referral and mention your name as the referral source.
4. When a new Notification Service Agreement has been executed with the referral, we will apply a credit of 5% to the renewal (up to $500 per referral).

Please note, if Rapid Notify is already actively engaged with the contact before a referral is given, a referral fee will not be credited to the referring customer. Other terms and conditions may apply. Subject to change.

Contact us today by calling us toll-free (800) 519-2129 or send us an email.

Send enough referrals and perhaps you can earn a year of free service!

Not Just For Emergencies

Rapid Notify offers an invaluable communication tool to inform, notify and update individuals. The Rapid Notify alert notification system can be used for more than just emergency situations.  It can also be used as a service in the exploding mobile marketing arena. Mass marketing via promotional text or email messages provides users with technology for advertising campaigns in lieu of, or in addition to, traditional means.

Over 96% of text messages are read, making them more effective than emails to deliver information quickly and are less costly and intrusive than a phone call.  Providing a reliable and convenient means of communication, Rapid Notify can help any type of organization establish and maintain a unique and profitable connection with alert recipients.

Marketing for Public Awareness and Participation

Getting the attention of the public can be difficult, especially on a tight budget.  It is vital to build public awareness, participation and support for an emergency notification system to be truly effective.  This is an important part of managing your communities’ expectations of public safety efforts.  Make information readily available that answers basic and frequently asked questions such as:

• How, when and in what manner will emergency or non-emergency alert notifications be delivered?
• What actions are required when an alert is received?
• What if the call is missed?
• What if a phone number is unlisted?
• Is my contact information safe?

This information can be listed on your organizations’ website and offered as a downloadable file in a printable brochure format.  If possible, broadcast information about your emergency notification system on local public access TV channels and radio. Launch an all-out public awareness campaign by mailing flyers community-wide and encouraging locals with unlisted numbers or cell phones to register for notifications during community events or online.

A creative public awareness campaign can help to ensure your community understands the purpose of an emergency notification system, how it works and how to respond to an alert.  Partnering with a local business has proven to be an effective method of generating public interest, especially when a special discount or incentive is offered in connection with participation in the notification system. Social media can be a useful tool in spreading the word.

Social media sites can also be helpful tools for promoting your emergency notification system.  Creating a blog, signing up for accounts with Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn or even a YouTube channel can increase public awareness.
