    Smobi is building the AI-powered platform for branded, interactive business messaging, starting with RCS. Customer engagement is broken. Despite the abundance of messaging channels - email, SMS, WhatsApp, in-app notifications, and voice - most brand communications feel impersonal, transactional, and spammy. The result? Engagement is at an all-time low. RCS addresses these issues with verified, branded, and interactive messages, and it is finally here in the US. However, most businesses don’t know it exists, and the few that do are still figuring out how to use it. Smobi changes that by making it easy to build AI-powered conversational flows in minutes, launch them via API or campaign, and analyze every tap and read. We also handle strict carrier vetting and compliance so brands can focus on growth. The results: 5-10x higher engagement than SMS, 4x higher CTR, and up to 3x lift in purchase intent. Congrats Kunal P. on the launch! https://lnkd.in/g8aEpfut

  • Big news! Apple is joining the RCS party this year, and it's about to change everything about how businesses connect with customers. At Smobi, we've been preparing for this moment, and we're excited to share what Apple's RCS adoption means for your business messaging strategy in 2025 and beyond. From enhanced customer experiences to higher engagement rates, RCS is unlocking possibilities that SMS never could. We're already seeing brands achieve 35% higher conversion rates with rich, interactive messaging campaigns. The future of business messaging isn't coming—it's here. And we've mapped out exactly how to leverage it in our latest blog. Read our full newsletter to discover what's possible when Apple, 5G, and RCS combine forces in 2025! We'd love to hear your thoughts on how you're planning to use these new capabilities.

  • 📊 ARE YOU TRACKING THE METRICS THAT ACTUALLY MATTER? 📊 Let's cut through the data noise. Here are the 5 KPIs that separate thriving eCommerce businesses from the struggling ones: 1️⃣ Conversion Rate: Beyond basic sales numbers, this shows how effectively your site turns visitors into customers. The industry average is 2-3%. 2️⃣ Customer Acquisition Cost: If you're spending more to acquire customers than they're worth, you're slowly sinking. This number should be decreasing quarterly. 3️⃣ Average Order Value: Small increases here can dramatically boost profitability without needing more traffic or customers. 4️⃣ Customer Lifetime Value: The silent revenue multiplier most managers overlook. Are you measuring long-term customer worth or just the first purchase? 5️⃣ Return on Ad Spend: Still judging campaigns by likes and shares? ROAS gives you the cold, hard truth about which campaigns actually generate revenue. Our research shows most eCommerce managers only track 2 of these consistently. How many are YOU tracking? 💬 Drop a number in the comments. Bonus points if you share which metric has been most valuable for your business! Need help turning these metrics into actionable strategy?

In our latest newsletter, we break down exactly how you can map RCS touchpoints throughout your customer's journey - from that crucial first awareness stage all the way through to turning customers into advocates. Did you know that 74% of consumers respond more quickly to rich media messages? RCS combines the near-perfect open rates of SMS with interactive features previously only possible with apps. Whether you're just starting to explore messaging automation or looking to elevate your existing strategy, we've included practical implementation steps and real-world examples to guide you.

  • Stop wondering why your conversion rate is stuck at 2% 👀 Ever notice how some stores seem to effortlessly turn visitors into customers while others struggle despite endless optimization? The difference isn't about having a shinier "Add to Cart" button or a better checkout flow. It's about understanding what's happening in your customers' minds before they even think about buying. We analyzed high-converting stores and found they all leverage these 5 psychological triggers that bypass logical objections and speak directly to how humans actually make decisions. That unexpected sense of urgency when stock runs low? The comfort of seeing someone just like you loving a product? These aren't accidents—they're deliberate psychological principles you can implement this week. Swipe through to see which of these triggers your store might be missing. The most profitable one might surprise you...

  • 🚀 Imagine this: Your customers get instant support without your team chugging 10 coffees a day. ☕️💥  RCS chatbots - a 24/7 customer service superhero! 🦸✨ They answer questions, recommend products, and even close sales… all while you sleep. (Yes, beauty sleep is still a thing.)  Why your eCommerce brand needs this ASAP: ✅ Say goodbye to “I’ll get back to you in 3-5 business days” 👻 ✅ Turn “Where’s my order?!” into “Thanks, ordered again!” 🛍️ ✅ Bonus: Your team might finally forgive you for those Sunday-night customer emails. 🙏  👉 Drop a 💬 below if you’ve ever wished your business had a magic “solve everything” button. (Spoiler: RCS chatbots are kinda that button.)
