SEL – Receive SMS in real time
Challenge presented
Sinistra Ecologia Libertà (SEL) is a political party whose chairman and national spokesperson is Nichi Vendola. The party has more than 45,000 members in Italy and abroad. Sinistra Ecologia Libertà wanted to publish its members’ comments, ideas and opinions about party initiatives and events live on its website (e.g. during the national congress or the “If not now, when?” women’s demonstration on February 13th).
Actions undertaken
Using the Skebby Receive service on a dedicated number, Sinistra Ecologia Libertà published a phone number on its publicity materials to which people can send a text message (of more than 160 characters if necessary), which is automatically sent to an e-mail address and then converted for posting on a specific section of the website.
Benefits delivered
Thanks to Skebby, Sinistra Ecologia Libertà can receive texts from its users and post them on its website in real time, sharing ideas and opinions with all those who are interested. "We’ve given our members the chance to share opinions and ideas live on our website, simply by sending a text message. Skebby has allowed us to create an interactive exchange of information for no more than the price of an SMS!" explains Ylenia Daniello, Head of Multimedia Facilities and Content, Sinistra Ecologia Libertà.
