RCS (Rich Communication Services) is the next-generation messaging protocol developed by Google and the GSMA to replace SMS/MMS. It allows businesses to send interactive, visually engaging messages that include images, videos, carousels, buttons, and payment options. In simple terms, RCS for Business Messaging brings the power of a mobile app directly into your customer’s default messaging inbox. No app downloads, no links—just immersive, brand-verified communication.
When a business registers with an RCS Business Messaging (RBM) platform like JioCS, it gets a verified sender ID, brand logo, and custom color theme. This verification ensures trust and authenticity while allowing businesses to send interactive content—offers, catalogs, alerts, tickets, and updates—directly to users’ phones.
Customer engagement is founded on the aspect of interactivity and personalization. The RCS messaging extends beyond text to provide meaningful and media-rich conversations that induce action.
In comparison to the traditional SMS, RCS messaging allows images, videos, maps & CTA buttons - Call-to-Action. In the example of a restaurant, it can send a rich menu card with buttons for Order Now and Book a Table, which is an immediate and easy way to engage.
Each RCS business message displays the sender’s brand name, logo, and verified tick mark, enhancing trust. Customers know the message is authentic and not spam, increasing open and click-through rates significantly.
Users do not need to download an application or go to a webpage. The messaging window can be used to complete the customer experience- discovery to purchase. This helps to minimize friction and increase the conversion rates.
Research shows that RCS messages have up to 10× higher response rates compared to SMS. Rich visuals, quick replies, and smart suggestions make interactions smoother and more enjoyable.
