Why Texting Matters

Texts are more important than ever as technology-capable boomers and their children begin their senior living sales journeys in 2024.

+ Texts messaging increase by over 15% in Q1 2024 vs. Q1 2023.

+ Texts reach prospects more directly, allowing instant and convenient communication.

+ Prospects only respond with a ‘stop’ or ‘unsubscribe’ message <1% of the time. 

+ Median days to tour for prospects contacted in less than an hour is 20% faster for those initially contacted by text than email.

+ Texts are also more likely to convert a prospect to tour than email, with the strongest effects in the first 2 hours of inquiry.
