RCS partner program India

Last Updated: January 09, 2026

Let’s talk about a number that keeps every business owner up at night: customer acquisition cost. You’re spending money on ads, on email campaigns, and yes, on bulk SMS. You send out thousands of plain text messages, hoping for a tiny percentage to click, to engage, to buy. The delivery report says “sent,” but your bank account asks, “was it worth it?” What if you could slash that cost while simultaneously tripling the response? What if the better tool was actually the cheaper one? That’s not a hypothetical. It’s the reality for Indian businesses switching from traditional SMS to RCS Business Messaging. And right now, there’s a massive, untapped opportunity for agencies, resellers, and tech partners to lead this shift and build a formidable, future-proof revenue stream.

The Hidden Cost of “Cheap” Bulk SMS

For years, bulk SMS was the go-to. It’s familiar. It seems inexpensive on a per-message basis. But here’s the brutal truth: you’re paying for a product with diminishing returns. Open rates for promotional SMS in India often hover below 10%. Engagement? A fraction of that. You’re paying to broadcast into a void, hoping your message isn’t lost in a sea of spam. The real cost isn’t just the paise per SMS; it’s the cost of missed opportunities, ignored offers, and campaigns that deliver zero ROI. You’re investing in a channel that customers increasingly tune out. That’s an expensive habit.

Enter RCS: Better Results, Lower Price Tag

This is the core message most businesses miss: RCS (Rich Communication Services) costs less per message than traditional bulk SMS. Let that sink in. You are not paying a premium for rich media, read receipts, and interactive buttons. You are getting a superior, Google-verified, engaging channel for a lower price. Imagine sending a full-color product catalog, a video demo, or an interactive booking confirmation directly to your customer’s native messaging app—and paying less than you would for a plain, 160-character text. This is the fundamental disruption that makes our RCS partner program in India so lucrative.

Why Indian Businesses Are Switching (And Why You Should Lead Them)

The market is moving. Savvy businesses aren’t just testing RCS; they’re migrating entire communication workflows. Why? The results are undeniable. RCS messages boast open rates over 90% and click-through rates that are 3-5x higher than SMS. For a retailer, that means more sales from cart abandonment campaigns. For a bank, it means higher engagement with statement alerts. For a travel company, it means easier booking confirmations with integrated check-in buttons. As a partner in our program, you’re not selling a new expense; you’re selling a proven cost-saving and revenue-generating upgrade. You become the consultant who shows them how to pay less and get more.

Features That Don’t Just Impress—They Convert

Your clients care about outcomes, not tech specs. Here’s how RCS features translate directly to their bottom line:

• Branded Visual Experience: Show your logo, use your brand colors. This isn’t a text from a random number; it’s a verified message from a trusted business. Trust increases conversion.
• Rich Media in the Message: Send the product image, the restaurant menu PDF, the instructional video. No more “click here to see”—the engagement happens right inside the message. Fewer drop-offs.
• Interactive Buttons & Quick Replies: “Confirm Order,” “Reschedule,” “Call Now,” “View Offer.” Customers take action in one tap. You reduce friction and drive immediate responses.
• Read Receipts & Typing Indicators: Finally, know what happens after “Delivered.” Did they see it? Are they responding? This data is gold for sales and support teams.
• Google Verified Sender Badge: The ultimate trust signal in the message inbox. Dramatically reduces message blocking and spam filtering.

Real Results: Industry-Specific ROI

Talk is cheap. Results aren’t. Here’s what partnering with RCS SMS Provider lets you deliver to clients across industries:

E-commerce & Retail

Cart abandonment messages with the product image, a discount code button, and a direct “Buy Now” link. Result: Recovery rates increase from ~5% with SMS to 15-25% with RCS, while the cost per recovered cart drops.

Banking & Finance

Transaction alerts that show the merchant logo, amount, and have buttons for “Report Fraud” or “View Statement.” Result: Higher customer security satisfaction and reduced call center volume for simple queries.

Travel & Hospitality

Booking confirmations with a visual e-ticket, check-in button, and link to itinerary PDF. Result: Smoother customer experience, fewer support tickets, and opportunities for upsells (e.g., “Add Baggage” button).

Busting the Biggest Myth: “RCS is Expensive”

This is your #1 objection, and we give you the ammunition to destroy it. The myth persists because people compare RCS to basic SMS *without* considering the ROI. The equation is simple:

Old Way (Bulk SMS): Higher cost per engagement + Lower conversion rate = High effective cost per customer action.

New Way (RCS): Lower cost per message + 3-5x Higher engagement + Higher conversion rate = Dramatically lower cost per customer action.

As a partner, your job is to shift the conversation from “price per message” to “cost per result.” When you do, RCS isn’t just competitive; it’s the obvious, money-saving choice. Explore our RCS messaging services to see the full picture.
