aXcelerate Partners with MessageMedia to Enhance SMS Communications

We are thrilled to announce that aXcelerate has entered into a reseller partnership with MessageMedia, making it easier than ever for our customers to utilise SMS messaging in their student communications and engagement strategies. Through our partnership, customers accessing aXcelerate exclusive pricing can also use this to send SMS messages from other systems such as your CRM.

aXcelerate has leveraged our buying power across 1200+ RTOs allowing us to deliver incredible cost savings to our customers.  aXcelerate customers can now purchase SMS message credits at a wholesale rate, offering significant savings on communication costs while taking advantage of one of the most effective communication tools available today.

Why SMS Messaging?

SMS messaging has proven to be one of the most powerful and reliable ways to engage with students. Here are some key statistics that highlight the effectiveness of SMS:

  • 98% Open Rate: SMS messages boast an impressive open rate of 98%, compared to just 28% for emails. This means that your important messages are far more likely to be seen and acted upon by your students.
  • Immediate Engagement: The majority of SMS messages are read within just 3 minutes, ensuring your time-sensitive communications reach your audience quickly and effectively.
  • Increased Response Rates: SMS messages typically receive a 45% response rate, making them a great way to drive interaction, whether it's confirming class attendance, submitting assignments, or staying updated on important deadlines.

Simplified Billing Through aXcelerate

With this partnership, we’ve made the process even more seamless for our customers. All SMS billing is now managed directly through aXcelerate. There’s no need to negotiate with or set up a separate account with another provider. Set up and send your SMS messages within the aXcelerate system and have the usage billed at the end of each month through aXcelerate, simplifying your operations and ensuring that all communication costs are consolidated in one place.
