Are You Tired of Paying More for Less in Your Marketing?
Let’s be honest. Your current bulk SMS campaigns are a cost center you can’t fully justify. You pay for every message, but all you get is a plain text blurb that gets lost in a sea of notifications. Open rates are guesswork. Engagement is minimal. And the cost? It adds up every month, eating into your marketing ROI. What if you could slash that cost while dramatically improving how customers see and interact with your brand?
That’s not a hypothetical question. Businesses across India are making a switch that saves them money and boosts results. They’re moving from outdated bulk SMS to RCS Business Messaging. And here’s the part most providers won’t lead with: RCS messaging costs less per message than the traditional bulk SMS you’re using right now. You’re about to discover how to pay less and get infinitely more.
The Hidden Cost of “Cheap” Bulk SMS
Traditional SMS seems affordable on the surface. A few paise per message. But have you calculated the true cost? You’re paying for a channel with severe limitations: no images, no branding, no interactivity, and terrible engagement rates. You’re essentially buying a megaphone to shout into a crowded room. The return on that spend is abysmal.
Think about your last promotional SMS campaign. What was the click-through rate? 2%? 3%? For every 100 messages you paid for, 97 were ignored. That’s a 97% waste of your budget. The real expense isn’t the paisa per SMS—it’s the massive opportunity cost and the wasted spend on messages that do nothing for your business.
Enter RCS: Better Results, Lower Price Tag
Rich Communication Services (RCS) is the next-generation messaging built into Android phones. It replaces the basic SMS inbox with a rich, interactive chat experience. But for Indian businesses, the biggest news isn’t just the features—it’s the economics.
Imagine sending a visually rich catalog, a video demo, or an interactive poll directly to your customer’s native messaging app. Now imagine that costing you less than the bland, text-only SMS you send today. That’s the power of switching. You’re not adding a new budget line; you’re optimizing an existing one for massively better returns.
Why Indian Businesses Are Switching (And Why Speed Matters)
The shift to RCS messaging in India isn’t coming—it’s already here. Forward-thinking companies in e-commerce, banking, and logistics are leveraging it to cut costs and out-communicate competitors. While others are stuck paying more for dead-end SMS, these businesses are enjoying:
Every week, a business owner tells me they can’t afford RCS. I show them their SMS bill and ask – can you afford NOT to? RCS isn’t premium pricing; it’s smart pricing. Better results, lower costs. That’s the reality.
— Sudarshan Singh, Founder, RCS SMS Provider
- Up to 5x Higher Click-Through Rates: Interactive buttons and rich media simply get more taps.
- 40%+ Savings on Messaging Costs: Direct reduction in your CPAs (Cost Per Acquisition/Action).
- Verified Brand Identity: Your messages display your logo, name, and a Google-verified tick, building instant trust and reducing spam reports.
- Real-Time Analytics: See delivery reports, read receipts, and engagement metrics—data you never get with SMS.
The first-mover advantage is real. Your customers’ messaging inbox is becoming a rich engagement channel. The businesses that get there first will own that relationship. Your competitors are evaluating this right now. Don’t let them build a better customer experience while you’re stuck with an overpriced, underperforming tool.
Features That Don’t Just Impress—They Convert
With RCS from RCS SMS Provider, every feature is engineered for one outcome: driving measurable business actions at a lower cost.
Rich Media & Interactive Elements
Send high-res images, videos, and audio files. Add clickable buttons for “Shop Now,” “Book Appointment,” or “View Offer.” Use carousels to showcase multiple products. This turns a passive message into a mini-app experience, guiding users directly to a sale.
Brand Verification & Trust
Your business is verified by Google. Your logo and name are prominently displayed. This eliminates the “who is this?” moment, skyrocketing open rates and creating a trusted, official channel. Compare this to an anonymous SMS from a random number—there’s no contest.
Actionable Insights with Read Receipts
Know exactly when your message is delivered and read. See when the customer is typing a reply. This level of insight allows for perfect timing in follow-ups and provides concrete proof of engagement for your marketing reports.
Real Results: Industry Use Cases in India
Let’s translate features into rupees saved and revenue earned. Here’s how RCS messaging is delivering ROI across sectors:
E-commerce & Retail
Pain Point: Low conversion from cart abandonment SMS.
RCS Solution: Send an RCS message with an image of the abandoned item, a “Complete Purchase” button, and a limited-time discount code.
Result: 4x higher recovery rate than SMS, at a lower cost per recovered cart.
Banking & Finance
Pain Point: Impersonal OTPs and transaction alerts that get ignored.
RCS Solution: Branded transaction alerts with secure document sharing (e.g., send a PDF statement directly in the chat). Use buttons for “Report Fraud” or “Contact Support.”
Result: Enhanced security perception, reduced call center volume, and a trusted channel for upselling.
Logistics & Delivery
Pain Point: Customers missing delivery updates in cluttered SMS inboxes.
RCS Solution: Send a branded delivery update with a live tracking map, driver photo, and buttons for “Reschedule” or “Share Feedback.”
Result: Drastic reduction in missed deliveries and “Where is my order?” calls, improving operational efficiency.

Busting the Biggest Myth: “RCS is Expensive”
This is the #1 objection we hear, and it’s based on a complete misconception. People see the rich features and assume it must cost more. The truth is the opposite.
Think of it like this: Would you pay more for a smartphone that does everything than for an old basic phone that only makes calls? In messaging, the old technology (SMS) is inefficient and overpriced for what it delivers. The new technology (RCS) is more efficient and, thanks to providers like us, priced to save you money from day one.
Objection: “But my SMS provider gives me a great bulk rate.”
Reality: Compare the cost-per-action. If your ₹0.15 SMS gets a 2% click rate, your cost-per-click is ₹7.50. If our ₹0.12 RCS message gets a 15% click rate, your cost-per-click is ₹0.80. Which “great rate” is actually great for your business?
