Call to Arms- Join the Finn Harps WhatsApp Army!!

As we all know, we are a community rooted, fan owned club and as such fundraising efforts like the Annual Draw, which takes place THIS SATURDAY NIGHT are crucial for the Club to keep on Harping on.  We are asking you to do one simple thing which club volunteers and supporters have found to be hugely effective in moving a few more draw tickets as the deadline approaches!  If you use WhatsApp there is a little used feature known as “Broadcast Messages” which allows you to send the same message to up to 256 contacts without creating yet another a dreaded Group Chat.

Recipients receive a message from your broadcast list as a normal message in their Chats tab. Their reply will also appear as a normal message and won’t be sent to other contacts in the broadcast list.  This is a hugely effective way to send a circular around selected, sympathetic contacts with some general info about the draw, and dropping a link to buy tickets online right in front of their eyes.

Create a Broadcast as below by tapping the “three dots” in the top right hand corner and selecting “New Broadcast”, then add the contacts that you want to include.  Compose a brief message with basic details of the draw, especially the prizes, and include the link https://finnharps.ie/annualdraw/   If you want to get very fancy you can even send an image such as the draw ticket below.  We have included a suggested text below as well!

So don’t be shy, WhatsApp for the Boys In Blue today, and then do it again before the draw on the Saturday night!  It’s a great way to catch up with those contacts you only chat to once in a blue moon!!
