Rendevo RCS

Texts that do things.

Your logo at the top of the thread. Photo and video cards. Buttons customers tap to book, pay, vote or open the door. It all starts in the Messages app they already have, with no app to download and no login.

Built and tested with The Swing Shift golf club

What we handle

Registration to launch. We do the work.

Most RCS providers hand you a platform and a stack of documentation. We get you approved, build the messages and the systems behind them, and make the materials that get customers to sign up. You only need to know what you want customers to be able to do.

Registration and approvalYour sender profile, terms pages and carrier submission, with every carrier question answered for you.
Message designYour logo, photos, cards and buttons, tested on real phones before anyone else sees them.
The systems behind itBooking, payments, door locks, your CRM. The buttons work because we connect what they talk to.
Marketing to matchPosts, QR codes and sign-up pages that get customers to opt in, then a report on what they tapped.

What most businesses send today

Most business texts are still a phone number and a link.

Tap the link and the customer leaves Messages for a browser, a login, a code in their email and a pitch to download an app. Watch how many taps it takes.

1

A number nobody recognizes

No logo, no name, nothing to show the text is really from you.

2

A link that leaves Messages

A browser, a redirect, a page that has to load on their signal.

3

A login before anything happens

Email, password, a code from their inbox, then “get our app.”

For nonprofits

The gift happens in the text.

Donors tap an amount, pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay and watch the goal move. No donation page to load and no form to fill out, from a sender with your logo and a verified badge.

1

Giving Tuesday and year-end

Matched-gift deadlines and a live goal bar that moves with every gift.

2

Galas and event nights

Every phone in the room gives at once, and the total updates as they do.

3

Monthly donors

A minute after the gift, one tap makes it monthly. Cancel by text.

4

Thank-yous that raise more

An impact video or an adoption photo, with a give-again button under it.

How it works

Live in about 5 to 8 weeks.

Carrier approval is the slow part, and the carriers set the pace, so the date is an estimate, not a promise. The first campaign gets built while it runs.
