Limited, the not-for-profit text-based fundraising service.
Textbox, who provide the platform used by Smstextgiving for its charity
donations service, are to provide the company with a range of additional services including prize draw and competition modules.
This will allow Smstextgiving’s charity clients to run prize draws in the run-up to Christmas, together with regular incentivised giving campaigns.
Smstextgiving says that where text giving is linked to some form of reward, through entry into a prize draw, or the opportunity to win a prize, “the amounts raised by charities is greatly increased.”
Graham Burrough of Smstextgiving added: “The first of our Christmas Charity competitions to go live will be with our
partners Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, which is planned to run from 3 November to 18 December 2003, with a prize of a luxury weekend for two in a leading London hotel.”
