The Virginia library system adds next-generation SMS messaging, email, and phone notifications.
Unique Library is proud to announce the addition of a full suite of MessageBee patron engagement platform for Hampton Public Library in the Commonwealth of Virginia this week. Patrons will receive 10-DLC compliant SMS notifications, attractive transactional and promotional newsletter-style emails, as well as access to phone notifications.
Hampton Public Library is a four-location system serving over 130,000 residents in the Chesapeake Bay area of Virginia. The system also uses Horizon, which integrates well with Unique’s MessageBee interface. Situated in ‘America’s First Region,’ the city of Hampton was founded in 1610, and Hampton Public Library was the first free county-level public library in Virginia.
MessageBee is a powerful and customizable messaging tool that offers numerous features, making it an essential asset for libraries looking to enhance their communication strategies. Easily understandable notifications across all platforms makes MessageBee a great addition.
Key features of MessageBee include:
- Engaging emails: Customizable templates and an intuitive drag-and-drop email designer makes anyone an email-sending pro.
- Superior Deliverability: Unique is on the cutting edge of SMS-based notifications. Our 10-DLC compliant notifications are an upgrade on traditional email-to-SMS in deliverability and clarity.
- Phone flexibility: MessageBee supports phone notifications for patrons that prefer a pre-recorded phone call. Either text-to-speech or a voice recording keeps patrons abreast of their transactions.
