About Message Blaster:

The Message Blaster system is a versatile tool that allows tenant managers to mass send customized emails to any or all select user groups (e.g. urgent notifications, upcoming daily events, etc.). For your convenience, the message blaster allows for messages to be sent out immediately, on a future date, or on a recurring schedule. This powerful tool enables you to easily distribute, track, and evaluate marketing collateral and communications.
