GESend

What GESend is

GESend provides peer-to-peer texting for registered political campaigns, political committees, and active non-profits. Its tools support two-way conversations and text blasts to people who opted in and explicitly requested the content. Organizations can tailor messages to different audiences within a campaign, use custom or branded short links, and track who clicked. Customizable automatic replies can be categorized for activities such as surveys, polling, and voter identification. For fundraising, GESend describes using tracked donation links to identify clickers and suppress recipients who do not click. The service is available on the web and as an extension, and messaging support is SMS only. GESend currently serves the eligible political and non-profit organizations rather than businesses generally. Full-service sends start at $2.70, paid once, billed per message, with high-volume discounts offered. Email support is available seven days a week, and GESend aims to respond within one business day. Existing customers can use a client portal to manage campaigns, view reports, and access account settings. GESend says it does not sell personal information and processes client-uploaded audience data on clients' behalf under their agreements.
