Move customers from first contact to action with RCS marketing

Use RCS messaging to create campaigns that do more than simply deliver a message. Capture attention with rich media, help customers discover products, and make it easy to take action directly within the conversation. Then follow up with relevant offers to encourage repeat purchases and build longer-term relationships.

Capture attention and build trust

Communicate from a verified business profile featuring your company name and logo, and enrich your messages with images, video, and interactive formats. Create RCS campaigns that stand out in the messaging app and deliver a consistent, recognizable brand experience from the very first interaction.

Result

Greater campaign visibility and stronger customer engagement.

Help customers discover and choose products

Showcase products, variants, and recommendations directly in an RCS marketing message. Rich cards and carousels let customers explore your offer and compare options without being redirected to a generic landing page first.

Result

A faster path from initial interest to product discovery.

Shorten the path from interest to action

When customers are ready to take the next step, make it effortless. Business RCS messaging lets you add suggested replies and action buttons so recipients can visit a specific page, make a call, or open a location directly from the message.

Result

Fewer steps between seeing the message and taking action.

Turn campaigns into conversations

Let customers reply to messages and choose what happens next within the same conversation. Use their responses and interactions to shape the journey, tailor follow-up communication, and guide them toward the next action.

Result

Stronger engagement and deeper insight into customer intent.

Connect RCS with native device features

Use RCS messaging alongside features available on the customer’s device. From the message itself, recipients can open a map, make a call, visit a specific page, or, in relevant use cases, save a boarding pass to Google Wallet.

Result

A smoother, more convenient customer experience.

Turn one-off RCS marketing into
lasting customer relationships

Combine rich, engaging formats with two-way messaging to keep customers engaged beyond a single campaign.

Scale RCS campaigns and maximize your reach

Use the full capabilities of RCS for Business wherever the channel is available, while maintaining contact with the rest of your audience through fallback. MessageFlow helps you launch a verified sender, understand the actual RCS reach within your customer base, and extend campaigns with other channels without creating a separate messaging ecosystem.

Reach customers wherever RCS is available

Check which recipients can receive an RCS marketing message before you send. With Capability Check, you can accurately assess your potential reach and deliver rich, interactive experiences to the right audience.

Use:

  • RCS availability checks before launch
  • data on the actual RCS reach within your customer base

Result

Plan campaigns more accurately and focus your budget where RCS is available.

Maintain reach when
RCS is unavailable

If a recipient cannot receive an RCS campaign, you can still reach them through a fallback channel. Automatically switch to SMS when RCS is unavailable or a message cannot be delivered.

Use:

  • automatic RCS → SMS fallback
  • failover when an RCS delivery attempt is unsuccessful

Result

Take advantage of the richer RCS experience without sacrificing overall campaign reach.

Build trust from the
very first message

Because the channel supports two-way interaction, brands can do more than simply deliver a message – they can guide customers directly toward the next step.
