Location-Based Services (LBS), which is a type of service that provides location-based information, recommendations, and navigation through smartphones or other positioning devices. Rich Communication Services (RCS) is the next generation of SMS that allows multimedia content such as images, audio, videos, and animations to be embedded in messages to provide a more engaging and dynamic communication experience. Therefore, Location-based RCS Messaging or LBS Rich Media Messaging is a combination of location-based services and RCS technology, delivering messages to users at specific locations and times with various forms of content, including text, images, and videos. It has great potential in advertising, promotions, and business marketing, helping companies target their ideal customers accurately and enhance marketing effectiveness and customer experience. For example, a restaurant can send coupons to nearby users through LBS Rich Media Messaging to attract them to dine-in, and a retailer can provide promotional information to customers to increase sales volume.

Location-based RCS messaging (also known as LBS rich media messaging) and Facebook Ads or Google Ads each have their own advantages in marketing, but LBS rich media messaging may be more precise in location targeting. LBS rich media messaging promotion can locate the user’s position through the telecom company’s signal transmission station, and then send RCS promotions to users in specific areas. This method can achieve more precise and detailed mobile location positioning, such as in the range of shopping malls, specific streets, or around a building group. In terms of precision marketing, since user data are all from the telecom operator and have undergone real-name authentication, more accurate digital marketing can be achieved.

In comparison, Facebook Ads or Google Ads’ location targeting mainly relies on IP addresses and whether users have enabled GPS location services to locate user positions, and the precision of the positioning may not be as good as LBS rich media messaging promotions. In addition, Facebook and Google’s advertising platforms require users to actively go online or use applications to display ads, so they may not be able to accurately locate the user’s actual position. Moreover, since Facebook and Google only require users to register accounts at will, general users can have multiple accounts at the same time, which may not be as accurate as LBS rich media messaging in terms of user data accuracy.

In addition to the advantages of positioning and user data accuracy, LBS rich media messaging promotions have other benefits. For example, the opening rate of RCS promotions is high because they are directly sent to users’ mobile phones, and users are more likely to notice them. Furthermore, RCS promotions offer a highly cost-effective solution that delivers rapid and measurable results. LBS rich media messaging promotions also offer the ability to incorporate engaging multimedia content, including images, audio, animation, and video etc, which effectively captures user attention and drives higher levels of engagement, resulting in improved advertising interaction rates.

Overall, LBS rich media messaging promotions may have advantages in location targeting and user data accuracy, and have advantages such as high opening rates, cost effectiveness, and high interaction rates. They are suitable for some industries with relatively concentrated geographic locations, such as catering, shopping malls, retail, and tourism etc, and can achieve better advertising effects. Nonetheless, it’s important to note that the coverage and efficacy of LBS rich media messaging promotions are subject to the reach of mobile signals. Hence, when selecting advertising strategies, marketers should take into account the unique needs of their brand and the characteristics of their target audience to ensure that the appropriate advertising method is selected.
