Due to such a high number, using SMS text messaging for survey invites and 2-Factor Authentication via text message are key features for a community platform. These will improve the security of your community and also skyrocket both open and response rates. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An SMS survey invite is a seamless way to send an invite to your members in order to better gather valuable feedback from your members, improve your product or service, and ultimately grow your business or organization. Partner this feature with the ability to set up 2-Factor Authentication, it\u2019s the best move you can make to not only ensure your members are legitimate but also improve response rates. &nbsp;Let\u2019s take a deeper dive into both of these features. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2-Factor Authentication<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"672\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/image-9.png\" alt=\"2-Factor Authentication \" class=\"wp-image-58028\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two-factor authentication is a security feature to make sure the appropriate member is in your community and completing the surveys. No more questioning if your members are who they say they are. &nbsp;When joining the community, new members have the opportunity to input their mobile number in the signup form and receive a text message with a unique code. After inputting this code, their number is linked, and they are a verified member. This is an alternative method to the double opt-in email. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main reasons for using 2-Factor Authentication are:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improves the security of your community. <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reassurance that the member signing up is who they claim to be. <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increases the number of valid members of your community. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SMS Survey Invites<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_4940-253x450.png\" alt=\"image\" class=\"wp-image-58027\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_4826-253x450.png\" alt=\"image\" class=\"wp-image-58026\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once your members have given permission to participate, they are now ready to receive your survey link on their mobile device via SMS text message. &nbsp;The platform allows you to send out surveys you create from scratch or pulled from our extensive library of questions. After opting into receiving SMS surveys, here are some benefits of using an SMS survey over sending by email.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At a high level here at the benefits of using SMS survey invites:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have an open rate of 98%, and a 45% response rate<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Higher views over sending an invite via email<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are great for getting a response to quantitative data collection methods<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a deeper look at the benefits of using these features.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Higher Open and Completion Rates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think about the last time you received a text message and did not open it. &nbsp;Now think about the last time you saw an email in your inbox and did not click on it. &nbsp;This is one of the reasons surveys sent through SMS have an open rate of 98%, and response rate of &nbsp;45%! In comparison, surveys sent via email have a 15% and 30%, respectively.
