Happy New Year from the ClassJuggler Team!

The entire staff at ClassJuggler wishes you the best in this New Year. We are all looking toward rebuilding our businesses and getting back together with friends, our families, and holding classes with our students — Cheers!

Unexpected Closure? Need to Let Everyone Know?

It's Easy with ClassJuggler's Text Messaging!

Every so often, an unexpected event can cause you to close your business for a period of time, whether it's a dangerous snowstorm or just a power outage. You need to quick way to let your customers know that your classes will be canceled or delayed. We've got the answer for you with ClassJuggler's built-in texting tool!

The built-in mobile messaging feature makes it easy to get timely sms text messages to all or a specific group of your customers. And you can filter your text message recipients so that it only goes to the right audience for your message.

For example, you can specify that your closure message be delivered only to:

1. All families in classes that meet on a certain day of the week.
2. All of the parents with students in one or more classes you select.
3. Or maybe a blanket message to all active families that have students in at least one class.

And for some great news; while some of our competitors charge per message for their clients to use their messaging tool, the ClassJuggler messaging feature has always been, and still is, completely free for unlimited texting.
