For the very first time Local Government Agencies can:
- Send password-protected SMSs to customers
- The password is UNIQUE & UNFORGETTABLE
SMS is still by far the most effective way to reach customers; and now with SMS password protection, the power of LinkInSMS has now been even further elevated.
Compare this to emails, which can be:
- Automatically moved to Spam folder
- Overlooked in a sea of emails etc.
Below are just some examples where Local Government Agencies will likely want to send a Unique & Unforgettable Password-Protected SMS to customers:
| Example Password-Protected SMS | |
| Dog & cat registration renewals notifications | |
| Overdue rates reminders | |
| Development applications/updates/rulings | |
| Councillor elections & meetings | |
| Debt recovery notices | |
| Advertising fee renewals | |
| Busking / Street-side vendor fee renewals | |
| Library Wi-fi access |
Other important ways LGAs can leverage LinkInSMS:
LinkInSMS can provide unabridged rich content (ie full details) that a normal SMS cannot, even when password-protection is not required, such as communications for:
- Hard rubbish collection reminder
- Alerts / Warnings (eg: fireworks notifications so dogs don’t escape properties etc)
- Urgent road conditions (closures etc)
- Worker OHS&W (eg outdoor workers need to follow SOP based on weather conditions)
- COVID-19 community updates
EXAMPLE: Dog License Renewal
