Branded URL

By using branded URLs in your text messages you can grow your brand awareness and improve the trust of your customers. The higher the level of trust towards your links, the higher the click-through rate you can reach.

You can select the domain name section of the URL, choosing between a longer version which is better for visibility, or a shortened one to save characters.

Smart Sending

Smart sending makes sure you do not send promotional text messages too often to your subscribers. Texts will not be sent during the allocated hours. You can set smart sending between 0-168 hours. We'd recommend 8 hours as your smart sending period, which means that after receiving a promotional SMS the user won't get a new message for 8 hours.

Quiet Hours

Quiet hours prevent subscribers from receiving promotional text messages during a specified time frame, usually at night. Texts will be queued and sent out once Quiet hours are over.

Quiet hours are set from 8 PM to 9 AM in subscribers’ local time zones to maintain SMS compliance and ensure optimal delivery. While these settings are fixed by default, we understand some businesses may have specific needs. Please contact our support team at support@recart.com to discuss your requirements. 
Note: Additional documentation and approval may be required for any quiet hours modifications.SMS marketing regulations vary by country, and businesses must ensure compliance with the relevant laws in their subscribers’ regions.
In the United States, compliance with the TCPA guidelines is required. Other notable regulations include:
If your business operates internationally, we recommend reviewing the specific SMS marketing laws applicable to your target regions to ensure full compliance.
