Water Babies

Communicating with their clients

Water Babies communicate water class bookings and cancellations for clients via TextAnywhere’s TextCampaign and TextOnline solutions. The nature of their business means everything is reliant on the pool availability, thus scheduling is paramount. Texting is such a time saver for the hundreds of users on the Water Babies system. Using these services ensures that messages can be created, sent and received immediately, rather than making a phone call or sending an email which may not be easily or quickly responded to.

SMS for internal business messaging 

But it doesn’t end there, with the Water Babies Head Office in Devon and 52 franchises spread far and wide, they utilise text reminders for the monthly team update webinars. This helps colleagues keep their diaries up to date and afford them a chance to reply back with points to be included in the meeting. 

Finally, they also rely on SMS for specific marketing campaigns and promotions. For example, within their swimming program a customer may reach a specific stage within their tutorage where the pupil may require goggles, so using TextCampaign they can send an offer on goggles direct to their client.  

Project Successes

Water Babies find text messaging extremely useful for repeat bookings and scheduling. Previously customers would send email messages stating ‘stop swimming’ or ‘continue with lessons’ and there was a lot of admin required to collate responses. Using text messaging to contact customers has made this much easier, as all replies are gathered in one simple report. Now Water Babies use TextCampaign service far more than email, and feedback from their customers on the use of text messaging as the preferred communications has been incredibly useful.
