Statista reports that, in 2023, 61% of adults were investing in the stock market. With stock trading, along with other types of investing, being so popular, it provides many opportunities for financial businesses that cater to investors.
One thing that you need in this sector is speed. Stock alerts, in particular, need to be delivered in real time, or as close to it as possible. The best way to do this is to deliver alerts via SMS or text message.
The Value of Stock Alerts
A stock alert can be any message informing your customer or member about any new information concerning a stock (or any financial asset). The following are common examples of alerts.
- Price alerts. The price of a stock reaches or falls to a certain level.
- Percentage changes. Investors may want to know when the price changes more than a certain percentage.
- Highs or lows. Alerts are sent when the price reaches a new high or low for a certain period, such as a year.
Depending on your policies, you can decide what types of alerts to offer. The more customized they are to the needs of individual investors, the better. Users of your platform should be able to easily set up and discontinue alerts as needed.
Who Sends Stock Alerts?
Anyone with an internet connection can look up stock news and price. The problem is, people are busy with other things, whether they’re at work, at the gym, driving, or streaming a music video. Investors need to be reminded when stocks they’re invested in -or may want to invest in- make a move. Several types of financial companies and websites can benefit from sending timely stock price alerts.
- Brokers and trading platforms. Websites where investors can trade online. Text Alerts help investors decide when to buy, sell, or hold.
- Trading communities. Communities where people go to learn more about financial markets, share information, and socialize.
- Financial and Trading education companies. This includes selling online courses, publishing newsletters, or offering other educational resources.
Why Send Alerts Via Text?
When a member or customer signs up for alerts, it means they want to be notified on market moves as quickly as possible. There’s no faster or more efficient way to send a message than via text. People may wait hours to read their emails or listen to voicemail messages. However, research indicates that most people read their text messages within seconds of receiving them.
You may want to offer your members multiple options for receiving alerts. Not everyone will want to receive text messages. Others may want to receive your alerts on several channels (such as email, social media, and text) to make sure they see them. However, in an age when people are tethered to their phones, texts are usually the single fastest option.

If you hold webinars, you know how challenging it can be to get signups. Once people sign up, there’s also the matter of getting them to actually show up. Our services make it simple to send invitations as well as reminders. You can also increase post-webinar conversions by getting more attendees to sign up for your membership site or other services.
Sell More Courses and Other Products
As a financial education group or a trading community, you may sell online courses and other educational materials. If you offer multiple tiers of membership, you always want members to upgrade. Sending text messages with special offers, coupons, and promo codes is an effective way to boost your sales.
Integrates With Many Other Services and Apps
ProTexting offers a wide range of integrations with services you probably use. This includes:
- HubSpot
- Zapier
- MailChimp
- Constant Contact
- VerticalResponse
- Shopify
- Twilio

…and many others.
These integrations enhance the potential of SMS marketing, covering everything from campaign management to data analytics and customer engagement. For example, if you manage an email list using a tool such as HubSpot, you can easily connect your email and SMS marketing. Get people on your email list to sign up to receive text messages (and vice versa). In this way, SMS marketing enhances rather than replaces your other marketing channels.
