RCS is Coming for Political Text Messaging

You don’t need us to tell you the obvious: people are slammed with emails, bombarded with ads, and skipping right past generic political text messaging, showing a severe lack of trust.

You’ve got one shot to break through the noise, and if you’re still texting like it’s 2005, you’re wasting it. What is your plan for the future of texting? Are you ready to level up?

Enter: RCS Business Messaging (aka, “RBM”)

This is texting for the modern day smart phone user. For those used to the iMessage or messaging app (WhatsApp, GroupMe, etc) experience , this will feel native to them.

Gone are the days of 160-character limits on SMS. RCS (Rich Communication Services) turns your messages into experiences, with videos, images, buttons, carousels, read receipts, and branding. Clean, fast, engaging communication.

This is a big game changer for political organizations.

Why It Matters Now

In politics, messaging is about speed, trust, and action. RCS delivers all three.

While the other side is still sending lifeless texts or emails that land in spam, you could have branded, trackable conversations that convert.

RCS Gives Your Political Text Messaging the Edge

• Verified sender builds instant trust
  
• Visual storytelling catches attention and drives emotion
  
• Tappable CTAs makes it easy to donate, vote, and volunteer
  
• Real-time data means you know what’s working, and can pivot fast

Unlike SMS, your RCS messages don’t feel like a blast. They feel like conversations. 

This is how you build engagement and credibility.

Where does RCS win? 

• Photos and videos, up to 100x the size of what today’s MMS limits allow
• Tappable buttons
• Branding
• Read Receipts

The difference isn’t small.

What Your Political Organization Can Actually Do With This

• Fundraising: Make your donation asks feel personal. Add progress bars. Use urgency. Show impact!
  
• GOTV: Share polling locations, early vote dates, mail-in ballot reminders, buttons, and CTAs.
  
• Volunteer Activation: Make it easy to say yes and show up, with calendar links, confirmations, and onboarding in one thread.
  
• Event Promotion: Showcase your town hall with an image carousel, CTA buttons, and RSVPs, all inside the message.
