How to Send Mass Text Messages on TextSpot
Sending mass text messages for your organization has never been easier. Just follow these simple steps:
Yes, it’s really that easy.
Types of Mass Texts
With the right mass texting service, there are several different types of texts you can use to engage with your audience and customers.
Instant
TextSpot allows you to instantly send mass texts to hundreds of people, which is great to have when you need to send an immediate message to your audience.
In TextSpot, it’s just a matter of selecting “Now” to send a message instantly to your selected contact list. Just a few clicks and your message of choice—it doesn’t get much easier than that.
One use case for instant texts is with emergency alerts. While nobody necessarily wants to have to send these messages, they can be essential. For example, if schools need to send out a mass notification to parents and students that classes are cancelled for the day due to blizzard conditions, officials can do so as soon as the decision is made.
Scheduled
With software like TextSpot, you can easily schedule unlimited numbers of mass texts. When you’re finished composing your message, just select “Later” under “Send This Message” in the app, then select the date and time you need to send it.
This is a great way to create engaging experiences for customers and promote upcoming events.
For example, suppose your business wants to announce an upcoming Black Friday sale. With TextSpot, you can send multiple scheduled messages throughout the month of November with exclusive promo codes your customers can use at checkout to take advantage of your deals.
Recurring
Recurring or repeated mass text messages are great for scheduling reminders or sending marketing messages for regularly occurring events. TextSpot enables organizations to do this with ease after setting up the initial message.
Organizations that host events on the same day every year can use TextSpot to push reminders of the upcoming event without ever having to worry about editing it year after year. For example, if a church or nonprofit hosts special Christmas services every year on December 25, they can set up reminders for the event to go out to their members annually.

How to Choose a Mass Texting Service
Not all texting platforms are built the same. The right choice depends on how you plan to use it, who you need to reach, and how much control you want over reporting and compliance. Here are the key factors to evaluate before committing.
1. Deliverability and Compliance
If your messages are not getting delivered, nothing else matters. Look for a provider that actively supports registration requirements such as A2P 10DLC, carrier compliance, and opt-in management. They should help you stay aligned with TCPA guidelines and make opt-out handling automatic. Ask how they monitor deliverability and what safeguards they have in place to prevent message filtering.
2. Ease of Use
Your team should not need technical training to send a campaign. The interface should make it simple to upload contacts, segment lists, schedule messages, and review performance. A cluttered or confusing dashboard slows down adoption and increases mistakes.
3. Contact Management and Segmentation
Effective texting is rarely “send to everyone.” Make sure the platform allows you to tag contacts, create segments, and personalize messages. The more precisely you can target audiences, the better your engagement rates will be.
4. Automation Capabilities
Automation saves time and increases consistency. Look for features like drip campaigns, triggered messages, keyword auto-replies, and scheduled sends. If you plan to use texting for lead nurturing, reminders, or onboarding, automation is essential.
5. Two-Way Messaging
Texting should feel conversational. Confirm that the platform supports real replies and makes it easy for your team to respond quickly. Shared inboxes, routing rules, or conversation assignment features can be helpful if multiple team members manage messages.
6. Integrations
Your texting tool should not live in isolation. Check whether it connects with your CRM, email platform, website forms, or other marketing tools. Integrations reduce manual work and keep your data accurate across systems.
7. Reporting and Analytics
You should be able to see more than just sent messages. Look for metrics like delivery rates, click-through rates, response rates, opt-outs, and campaign comparisons. Clear reporting helps you understand what is working and where to adjust.
8. Pricing Transparency
Understand exactly what you are paying for. Some platforms charge per message, others use monthly tiers, and some bundle credits. Ask about overage fees, carrier surcharges, short code costs, and any required long-term contracts. The best providers are upfront about pricing with no hidden surprises.
9. Scalability
Your needs today may not be your needs next year. Make sure the service can handle larger lists, higher sending volumes, and additional team members as you grow. Switching platforms later can be costly and disruptive.
10. Customer Support
When issues arise, fast support matters. Check whether you will have access to live chat, phone support, or a dedicated account representative. A responsive team can prevent small problems from becoming large ones.
