AvidMobile is starting out 2018 with Members, our newest feature!

That’s right, AvidMobile is excited to announce the launch of Members. This new feature allows you to upload and add custom details for your member data. This includes items like first and last name, email address, birthday, and much more! We are excited about this feature as it’s our first step as we work to add new levels of customization to our platform in 2018.

We’ve designed it to be user-friendly and entirely customizable. In other words, you and your clients have complete control over the data in your account. We’ve paid attention and made it possible to add new member data or updating existing member data via a single.CSV file upload or directly inside the interface. In just a few minutes your member data can be added to the platform. This is our first step towards being able to incorporate member data directly into your SMS communications.

Now more than ever before audiences crave personalization when it comes to marketing communications. In the new year, brands that provide this will experience greater marketing success. AvidMobile understands that at the foundation of this, you must have the ability to manage customer profiles.
