Alicia Bustamante • August 20, 2019
Reaching cardholders quickly and efficiently can be challenging for many card administrators. Traditional methods like emails and SMS often require multiple platforms to send out the notifications. However, with push notifications integrated into ID123’s Digital ID Card Solution, card administrators can streamline their communications and manage everything from ID123’s ID Management System (IDMS).
But what types of push notifications can card administrators send to their cardholders? With an advanced cloud-based IDMS, card administrators can send personalized text alerts, clickable links, images, and videos directly to their cardholders. Let’s discover some of the top ways card administrators can use push notifications.
Weather Warning Alerts
Natural disasters can’t be predicted, but card administrators can ensure their cardholders stay safe by using push notifications to warn them about impending weather conditions. Customize text messages to alert cardholders about facility closures or provide safety advice when a tornado, hurricane, flood, earthquake, or snowstorm is on the horizon. This instant communication can help cardholders stay prepared and take necessary precautions.
School Shuttle Delays
For schools using digital bus passes, push notifications are invaluable for keeping students informed. Notify students of shuttle delays due to traffic or other service issues, helping them plan alternate transportation and avoid being late for important activities. This real-time communication improves the overall transit experience for students.
Life-Threatening Notifications
In critical situations like bomb threats, shootings, or other violent events, speed is of the essence. With push notifications, you can immediately inform cardholders of the danger and advise them to follow safety protocols. These instant alerts could save lives by encouraging swift action and ensuring cardholders know the safest steps to take.
Discount Alerts for Memberships
For membership organizations, mobile ID cards offer a great opportunity to enhance member engagement. Send push notifications including links to exclusive offers, discounts, and promotions directly to cardholder’s mobile devices. This keeps your organization’s offerings top of mind and can boost participation and sales.
Future Event Notifications
Ensure cardholders are always in the loop about upcoming events by sending timely push notifications. Push notifications can feature text alerts along with promotional videos for events, providing essential information such as the event date, time, and a brief description. This enables cardholders to easily keep track of your organization’s events while boosting attendance and participation.
