Setting Up Your Contacts List

If you're considering CME to help you handle your broadcast communication needs, you may be wondering how you can collect the contact information of all of your contacts. The answer is easy. We can display a sign up form on your alert notification Web site (which is free for CME customers) where your contacts can input their own contact information and indicate how they would like to receive notifications. Another option might be to include a sign up form in any regular mailing or newsletter. The information would then need to be entered by someone designated by you.

Once your contacts' information has been loaded into your CME account, messages can be sent in 1 or more modalities. For non-critical messages, you may wish to simply send out an e-mail notification, but in times of emergency, you may send the message out in 2,3,or all 4 ways.

Furthermore, all message recipients get an individual account so they can set up their own communication preferences. They have the ability to log in and set up their preferences of how they would like to receive their communication (via Web, e-mail, text and/or auto dialer) even after the account has been initially set up by you. If you plan on sending out non-critical messages mainly by e-mail, you would want to be sure to advise your residents to enable their account to receive the messages sent via e-mail.

This is all done automatically by our propriety software...you won't ever have to set up the account log ins or passwords for your recipients. Yet another advantage to having CME as your broadcast communication service. We take care of all of the hard work - you just send out your messages with the confidence that you will always have immediate access to your contacts!
