With Text Message Crime Prevention Campaigns, You Get All Three

Effective

Crime prevention marketing campaigns are highly effective. NIH studies show that Don’t Drink and Drive campaigns on TV reduce alcohol-related crashes by 13% and law enforcement agencies across the country report up to 75% reductions in car thefts after 9 P.M. Routine campaigns on Facebook.

Unfortunately, only 56% of Americans watch traditional TV, and only 68% of Americans use Facebook.
By leveraging text message campaigns for crime prevention, law enforcement officials can reach up to 97% of the adults in their community.

As an added bonus – 99.83% of responses to Crime Prevention Campaigns are positive.

Efficient

66% of Americans report not actively watching TV Ads and 99.1% of social media ads are never clicked on, but text messages have a proven 95% open rate within 5 minutes of being received.

When you leverage text messaging for your crime prevention campaign, you know that your message isn’t just getting to your community, it’s getting through to your community.

Economical

As a veteran-owned small business, LobsterSMS is pleased to offer discounted rates to law enforcement organizations to keep our communities safe. Crime Prevention and Community Engagement campaigns receive a 25% discount on our standard pricing of $0.16 to $0.12 per contact for Video SMS messages.

That means the median county can reach up to 97% of their community via text message six times for the same as the price
of one TV ad campaign.
