Most-requested feature from customers will increase patient engagement, driving new revenue opportunities for small businesses

Weave, the all-in-one customer communication and engagement platform for small- and medium-sized businesses, today announced the addition of Bulk Texting to its product suite. The latest addition to Weave’s platform gives businesses the ability to send a single text to hundreds of their customers at once, while curating recipient lists and dynamic fields to deliver customized content.

“We are constantly listening to our customers’ feedback, and are proud to launch our most-requested feature to the thousands of offices who rely on Weave to provide exceptional patient experiences.”

Weave’s Bulk Texting will allow small businesses to send these messages directly from their 10-digit business phone number instead of the five-digit short code numbers often ignored by consumers. In a recent survey of 1,000 U.S. consumers, 53% said they wouldn’t open a text from a five-digit short code number.

Bulk Texting will allow Weave’s 27,000+ customers to efficiently engage and re-engage patients beyond automated recall reminders by scheduling targeted messages to hundreds of customers at once based on filters like age, appointment type, time since last appointment and more. Patient communications can take up coveted staff time at small- and medium-sized healthcare offices, reducing time that could be spent interacting with patients one-on-one and negatively impacting patient experiences.
