Textizen

Textizen is a web platform that sends, receives, and analyzes text messages so you can reach the people you serve with the technology already in their pocket, 24/7.

Smart Chicago Collaborative is a local service provider for Textizen. We will work with you to design a campaign, signage advertising your survey, and help manage the campaign. There is no cost to organization for this service, but organizations will be responsible for their own printing. You can create a survey campaign and then place the survey options on posters, postcards, or on screens during live events. You can then receive real time feedback as people text in their answers.
