How a School Budgets Messages for an Admissions Campaign
A school with 5,000 parent contacts can run a full admissions season on the 30,000-message package at PKR 14,999. This article works the announcement, open-day invite, follow-up, and final-reminder math step by step.
A school with 5,000 parent contacts on its enquiry list can run a full admissions season — announcement, open-day invites, and follow-ups — on the 30,000-message package at PKR 14,999. Short answer: parents times messages per parent gives the count; admissions season needs three to four touches per parent.
This article works the admissions math step by step: the season announcement, the open-day invitation, the follow-up to enquiries, and the final reminder before admissions close. Every touch is one message per parent.
Parents times touches: the core math
Take 5,000 parent contacts. Send one: the admissions-open announcement. Send two: the open-day invitation. Send three: a follow-up to the 2,000 parents who enquired. Send four: a final reminder before admissions close. That is 5,000 + 5,000 + 2,000 + 5,000 — 17,000 messages for one admissions season.
The 30,000-message package at PKR 14,999 holds the whole season with room for a second follow-up. Venture SMS does not use the WhatsApp API — every message goes through Venture SMS’s own numbers, never the school's, and nobody logs into your WhatsApp.
Why admissions needs multiple touches
One announcement does not fill admissions. Parents see the first message, mean to enquire, and forget. The open-day invitation converts interest into visits; the follow-up converts visits into applications; the final reminder catches the procrastinators. Each touch earns its messages.
Sending is paced — steady, not blasted out in one instant — so 5,000 announcements spread across the day instead of landing in one burst. Replies come back to the panel, and the admissions office answers the replies itself — fee questions and timing questions decide enrolments.
The full price ladder, stated plainly
Every package, ascending: 3,000 messages for PKR 2,999; 10,000 messages for PKR 6,999; 30,000 messages for PKR 14,999; 50,000 messages for PKR 19,999; and 100,000 messages for PKR 26,999. There are no setup fees, no per-message fees, and no API costs. Fixed message counts, never unlimited.
A small school with 1,500 parent contacts runs the same four-touch season on about 5,000 messages — the 10,000-message package at PKR 6,999, with its MOST POPULAR badge, covers it with room for a second admissions round.
Buy for the season, not the month
Admissions season is three months, but the message plan is one plan. Count all four touches before buying, not month by month — a quarter-package bought in pieces costs the same as one package, but planning it whole keeps you from running dry before the final reminder.
Your number never sends the campaign, so the school's office line stays personal while admissions messages go out by the thousand. Tap Buy Now on the pricing section. It opens WhatsApp with the package and price prefilled, and the team will arrange it. Venture SMS is owned and run by Connect Sphere.
Frequently asked questions
How many touches does an admissions campaign need?

Yes — messages on your package are not tied to admissions. Use them for any school announcement.
