Wilson-Bennett Technology Expands Service Offerings through New Partnership with Peer-to-Peer Texting Platform Hustle

CABOT, Ark., Oct. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Wilson-Bennett Technology, Inc. (WBT), a leading provider of educational and nonprofit phonathon solutions, is pleased to announce a new partnership with Hustle, the leading industry provider of peer-to-peer text messaging to nonprofits and educational institutions.

The past several years has shown a shift in how organizations are engaging with their communities. Case studies conducted by Hustle show that preceding phone calls with a text message to give alumni a heads up they will be contacted can increase contact rates by 5x.  This saves callers time and boosts morale, opening the door to more fruitful phone conversations that lead to more donors and dollars generated. 

"WBT has been a leader in the phonathon industry for over twenty years, helping educational institutions and non-profits connect with alumni, parents, and friends. We pride ourselves in our commitment to making our clients' phonathons to be the best and most successful they can be. SMS is a powerful enhancement to a multi-channel fundraising and engagement strategy, and we're excited to offer our clients a way to boost fundraising initiatives by pairing phone and texting outreach for maximum impact."     

-Todd Smith, CEO/Founder, Wilson-Bennett Technology, Inc.

Hustle is a peer-to-peer messaging platform that enables schools to deepen student and alumni engagement through personal texting conversations at scale. Hustle works because alumni read and respond to text messages, communication that feels more personal. When paired with calling, Hustle enhances schools' outreach strategy by cutting through the noise and reaching donors where they are.

"Hustle is proud to partner with Wilson-Bennett, which has a stellar reputation within the educational and nonprofit industries for prioritizing customer relations and program impact. Together we will be able to expand service offerings for educational institutions looking to broaden their outreach in a variety of ways: from fundraising to community engagement, but always with an emphasis on genuine relationship building from new students to loyal alumni."

-Roddy Lindsay, CEO, Hustle

Current Wilson-Bennett clients are able to activate Hustle and add 1:1 texting into their calling package with Wilson-Bennett. By pairing the two powerful technologies, schools will be able to reach even more donors to drive participation and giving.
