SMS/MMS Contact Cards

Bluecore’s contact cards allow your brand to better communicate with its customers by encouraging them to save the SMS/MMS contact information in their devices. Only one contact card per namespace is supported.

Your contact card can be sent to new or existing customers. The resulting experience prevents customers and mobile carriers from interpreting your brand’s messages as spam, leading to improved engagement with your campaigns.
