Singapore Marketing Campaign on RCS: staying aligned with PDPA compliance in 2026

Introduction

As a Marketing leader in the Insurance industry in Singapore, you face challenges in running effective promotional campaigns, particularly in achieving higher delivery rates for your messages. Rich Communication Services (RCS) offers a promising solution. This playbook explores how to leverage RCS for promotional Marketing Campaigns in Singapore, focusing on PDPA compliance, workflow optimization, and ROI considerations.

Why RCS fits promotional Marketing Campaigns in Singapore

RCS provides a more engaging and interactive way to communicate with customers compared to traditional SMS or MMS. With RCS, you can send rich media messages, including images, videos, and carousels, increasing customer engagement and conversion rates. Singapore's high mobile penetration makes RCS an effective way to reach customers personally and effectively.

How the program works end-to-end in Salesforce + CRM Messaging

To run a successful RCS promotional campaign in Salesforce, set up a workflow integrating with CRM Messaging:

  • Create a new campaign in Salesforce and define your target audience.
  • Set up a trigger in CRM Messaging to send an RCS message to your target audience.
  • Use contact fields in Salesforce to personalize the message and increase relevance.
  • Assign an owner to the campaign to track performance and make adjustments as needed.
  • Use CRM Messaging's reporting features to monitor delivery rates, engagement, and conversion rates.

Compliance notes for Singapore
