"The best way to protect your margins today? Curate mobile experiences that your customers actually want." — John Johnson, VP, Global Customer Success, Vibes In this latest episode of Technology Reseller News, publisher Doug Green is joined by John Johnson of Vibes to explore how Rich Communication Services (RCS) is transforming mobile messaging into a smarter, more profitable channel for brands. More than just texts, Vibes’ platform enables fully interactive, branded communications that blend visual engagement, personalization, and real-time commerce—all from within a native messaging app. Johnson illustrates how Vibes’ approach to RCS goes far beyond traditional SMS, enabling curated “tap-don’t-type” journeys that include product recommendations, cart recovery, color and size selection, and even in-message purchases. With back-to-school and holiday campaigns on the horizon, Johnson explains how RCS becomes mission-critical for brands facing cost pressures from tariffs, logistics, and customer acquisition. Personalized mobile engagement isn’t just a trend—it’s now a competitive necessity. According to Vibes, early adopters of RCS messaging are seeing up to 4x the click-through rates of SMS campaigns. Johnson also highlights how Vibes integrates mobile messaging into a brand’s broader martech stack, enabling synergy with CDPs, ESPs, and other customer data systems. The goal: true one-to-one commerce-driven messaging. Vibes is betting big on mobile, not as just a channel, but as the primary gateway for building brand loyalty and growing customer lifetime value.
