What type of businesses use Vibes?
Vibes works with ambitious brands and businesses looking to drive significant revenue from mobile, and who want to go beyond simple cookie-cutter “mobile marketing” by instead pushing the envelope to build meaningful, long-lasting relationships with their customers.
This goes beyond just sending SMS messages - although that’s a start - but rather encompasses an intelligent suite of communication to customers, everywhere they can engage with your brand on their mobile devices. Vibes helps them manage SMS, MMS, RCS, mobile wallet, push notifications and appinboxes, all from a single platform.
We’ve found that retailers, restaurants, hospitality, entertainment/ticketing and automotive brands usually get the most value (revenue and customer engagement) out of the Vibes Platform. You can read some of our Customer Stories here, from brand names like Chipotle, Topgolf, Hibbett, Lids, Mattress Firm and more.
Our customers also have varying complexity in their marketing and technology stacks, from “fully homegrown” to those working with leading platforms such as Salesforce, Adobe Marketo Engage, Oracle CrowdTwist, Adobe Journey Optimizer and many others. We have a full API suite to help you ensure full campaign orchestration!
Vibes also works with a large variety of messaging resellers and digital native brands as a Tier 1 messaging aggregator, to ensure that your text messages take the fastest path from you to consumers, without sending them through your competitors. Vibes is 1 of only 4 companies with direct connections to every US carrier. Our longtime relationships with Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and 65 other regional carriers means we know everyone’s rules, and we bring the “one-stop-shop” experience to ensure that text campaigns run smoothly and correctly.
How much does Vibes cost?
We believe in simplicity, transparency and high value. Pricing for the Vibes Platform differs from what is typically offered by messaging companies. It’s much less complex.
Rather than a monthly fee + an unpredictable “pay as you go” cost per message, we offer two simple tiers of an “all you can eat” bundled license, depending on your size and volume: Professional and Enterprise, with Professional starting at $20,000. This provides you with everything in the Vibes platform: SMS, MMS, RCS, Mobile Wallet, and Push. You choose to turn on the parts that make sense for your business.
Also - we don't charge anything on a per-message basis beyond what the mobile carriers charge us. No markups! Learn more here.
For Vibes Connect/Tier 1 aggregation we charge on a per-message basis, which is typical for other SMS and CPaaS providers.
What is atypical in our approach is the level of hands-on service that we bring to our partners. Vibes provides our partners with the peace of mind that their messages are delivered quickly, consistently, reliably and at a fair price across every single carrier, with geo-redundant data centers with active-active failover. We even proactively help partners get over compliance hurdles to help them seamlessly enable the good actors while policing the bad actors.
What is the difference between the Vibes Platform and the Vibes Connect Tier 1 aggregation solution?
Our two core products are the Vibes Platform and Vibes Connect, both of which work beautifully together. We’ve also recently launched RCS Studio, which you can learn more about here.
The Vibes Platform is an mobile-first engagement platform for brands and businesses that delivers personalized consumer experiences at scale. The platform helps brands meet their customers everywhere they can engage with the brand on their mobile devices, allowing them to manage SMS, MMS, RCS, mobile wallet, push and more from a single platform.
Vibes Connect, our Tier 1 aggregation solution, is actually a key component of the Vibes Platform as well, ensuring that brands’ text messages take the fastest path from them to consumers, without sending them through their competitors. Vibes is 1 of only 4 companies with direct connections to every US carrier. Our longtime relationships with Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and 65 other regional carriers means we know everyone’s rules, and we bring the “one-stop-shop” experience to ensure that text campaigns run smoothly and correctly.
What kinds of results do Vibes customers see?
We’re initially judged by our customers by how we’re driving their short-term revenue: growing their mobile database, and by how much we’re helping increase customer LTV. From a cost vs. benefit standpoint, Vibes drives an average 90x return on investment - so we’ve definitely got that covered.
Vibes isn’t a cost; it’s an investment and a long-term asset that produces engaged, revenue-producing, high-margin customers. Brands using our platform retain over 97% of their SMS users, because they can personalize and tailor marketing & promotional campaigns that delight and engage each user. They can use channels like Mobile Wallet to bridge the physical and digital for marketing, commerce, service, and loyalty - all without the need for app downloads.
But don’t (just) believe us - some of our customers’ best results, from Chipotle, Topgolf, Lids, Hibbett, KBP Brands and others - can be found on our Customer Stories page.
Will the Vibes platform work with my existing marketing and technology tools?
We’ve been around for over 25 years and have seen it all, from homegrown systems to integration with all of the market-leading marketing and business tools used by enterprise brands. Easy, turnkey integrations are a hallmark of working with Vibes.
Vibes integrates directly into the technology systems most relevant to you across data, commerce, loyalty, automation, adtech, intelligence, identity, payments, visualization and orchestration.
We’ve built seamless, direct integrations into the technologies you’re already using, such as Adobe Marketo Engage, Oracle CrowdTwist, Narvar, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Shopify, Adobe Journey Optimizer, Snowflake and many others.
Vibes also has a robust API suite that works beautifully with your existing tech stack to allow campaign customization that meets your unique objectives, rather than templated, cookie-cutter experiences.
These flexible APIs let you bring enterprise-grade SMS, MMS, RCS, Mobile Wallet, advanced analytics and more into the tools your team relies upon, saving marketers time in building journeys, and allowing them to create thousands of different event triggers. Learn more here.
How long does it take to get started?
Whether you’re using the Vibes Platform or Vibes Connect, we’ll have you up and running in a matter of weeks, not months. This is from start to launch, including getting a short code or migrating an existing short code, 10DLC or toll-free number.
Why should I launch my RCS Messaging with Vibes?
Brands that use Vibes for RCS gain the distinct advantage of our years-long relationships with Google and Apple. Vibes was an early access partner with Google at the initial launch of RCS, and partnered closely with Apple on bringing RCS to the US.
Vibes also provides its customers with RCS Studio, a full provisioning, management and compliance solution. It's the only end-to-end platform that handles RCS agent creation, provisioning, compliance, and carrier delivery — all in one place.
Vibes has direct relationships with all US carriers as a Tier 1 aggregator, which gives your brand direct, unmediated access for fast, compliant campaign approval. We'll work closely with you in balancing how your SMS, MMS and RCS campaigns will work together, and we'll make sure that every message is delivered rapidly and within full compliance across 65+ carriers. Vibes has been extremely active on the RCS front lines, and continues bringing more of our customers to market with RCS messaging that providesa beautifully interactive, engaging, app-quality experience - without the app.
You can even keep your current SMS provider - if you must - and launch your RCS program with Vibes, for all the reasons outlined above!
How are carrier fees for messaging accounted for?
Nobody likes hidden fees, and let's face it: sometimes "bundled" pricing is just a nicer way of hiding something. Unlike other aggregators, Vibes believes in full transparency of costs, including clear delineation of what our customers are charged for and which party is responsible for those charges.
Certain carriers charge an applicable fee for each standard SMS, FTEU SMS, MMS or RCS message delivered to or received from them that are paid by Vibes to the carriers, and then billed to our customers as direct pass-through costs. These rates are subject to change by the carriers with notice by email.
Check out current carrier fees here, as well as our Carrier Fee Calculator.
How does Vibes use AI in its products?
The Vibes Platform features an AI-powered Nexus engine, which intelligently automates and optimizes a brand's mobile marketing outcomes.
Vibes customers land on the Vibes control center and gain an instant view of their entire mobile marketing program in one place, right when they log in. This includes campaign performance, the growth of their SMS marketing lists,and much more. We’ve also added automated recommendations to help marketing teams make quicker decisions about things like Best Send Times, Best Send Dates and content recommendations – all designed to help brands boost engagement and revenue from their messaging programs.
Vibes AI is trained on 25+ years of enterprise SMS data – not on email and Reddit. Our NLP approach can take any existing large language model and augment it with over 25 years of real SMS, MMS and RCS data, trained fully on real-world examples. It looks at real click-through rates, and at which messages did and didn’t convert in order to direct brands to automated, intelligent outcomes. Learn more here.
