The Greater Chicago area library system adds Email and SMS notifications to their suite of Unique services
Unique Library is proud to announce the addition of MessageBee for Wheaton Public Library this week. Patrons will receive notifications from the library via email and SMS notifications, creating a new channel for their patrons. Unique and Wheaton Public Library have collaborated for over four years already, with Wheaton investing in Material Recovery and Data Services since 2020 and March of this year, respectively.
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 with patron-focused communication.
Key features of MessageBee include:
- Simple design interface: The drag-and-drop email editor makes it easy for anyone to become a marketing expert.
- Multiple language support: Send emails and text messages in either Spanish or English, whatever the patron indicates on their ILS profile.
- Superior Deliverability: Unique is on the cutting edge of patron notifications, and our notifications offer an upgrade on deliverability vs ILS-generated notifications.
