Messaging Tips

  • Tell them who you are, what agency you’re with and how you plan to use the communication platform.
  • Explain why you are sending what you are sending – this will help you prepare for the workshop, job interview, etc.
  • Keep it short—texting in particular, is a very different medium than email. If it’s longer than 160 character, consider sending an email instead or a hyperlink to a document.
  • Be warm and funny so people actually read the message and know you are a real person.
  • Be careful about over-messaging – if you send too many messages people stop reading them or tell you to take them off of your list. 1-3 messages per week is acceptable.
