Using RCS for 2 Way Messaging

Up until now companies would be using Repliable for their 2 way messaging requirements. Companies would send out their SMS and any relies are then forwarded to their email inboxes. Sendmode have a new improved way to do this. It is called RCS Links.

If you are wondering what RCS is? It will revolutionize Mobile Marketing. Add dynamic rich media, custom branding, suggested replies and actions. RCS will bring a new level of interactive and immersive experience to mobile marketing. See below for an example of an RCS Links Message asking customers if they will be available to work today. This would traditionally have been done using repliable but can be done much more efficiently by RCS Links.

Recruitment Customer Rich Content RCS Message

There are a number of advantages to using RCS links for 2 way messaging.

Branding Repliable Messages

You can use Sender Name functionality to brand your SMS. The message will arrive at your customer’s handset with your company name, rather than a mobile number.

When a customer clicks the link they will see your campaign branding as per the phone on the right hand side in the image above.

Absolutely FREE to customer to reply

Currently customers are charged the cost of an SMS to reply. The cost will depend on the phone contract or package they are on. With RCS Links there is NO COST as it uses the internet rather than the mobile networks.

Track Everything

The administrator can see in real time a report from all replies in real time. See below for an example of the text that the campagign admin will get plus the real time report they can follow using their phone. They can also follow replies via the web portal..

This is free for all customers. As you can see from the report, the administrator can see exactly who has (or has not) replied to your communications.
