How Many Text Credits Will We Need?
It's difficult to provide an exact estimate of the number of Text Messages that will be required. This is because it's highly dependent on various factors such as bidding patterns, the use of texts for event announcements, and the usage of the website on mobile devices. The beauty of our platform is that it adapts to these variables, ensuring you have the right amount of text messages for your needs.
- Every text sent or received counts towards the total number of texts used.
- A typical bid cycle often takes three texts:
- one from the bidder placing the bid;
- an acknowledgment of the bid from the system; and,
- an outbid notice, as needed.
- The number of texts can add up if you want to send mass texts to all bidders. For example, if you have 250 registered bidders, you would use that many credits to text them all at once.
What Happens When All Our Credits Are Used?
- If texting is set up, the system will let it go negative credits.
Rest assured, if you find yourself in need of additional credits after the event, they are readily available for purchase. This ensures that you can continue to communicate effectively with your audience even after your initial credits have been used.
