Exchange Offer RCS Template for Electronics & Appliance Dealers
A ready-to-adapt RCS message for electronics and appliance dealers, with placeholders, sample values and compliance notes.
When to Send This Message
Send to opted-in customers with older appliances on record. For electronics and appliance dealers, this is one of the everyday messages that keeps customers informed without a phone call. It can be sent manually from a panel at first and automated later through an API.
Buyers research models online, compare prices and then buy where they trust the delivery, installation and after-sales service.
The RCS Template
Exchange Offer
[Business Name]: Exchange your old {product} for a new one. Exchange value depends on the condition of the product. Visit our store or call {phone}.
Reply STOP to opt out.SMS fallback (India, DLT format)
[Business Name]: Exchange your old {#var#} for a new one. Exchange value depends on the condition of the product. Visit our store or call {#var#}.
To opt out, SMS STOP to [opt-out number].Replace [Business Name] with your registered brand name. Links shown use example.com as a placeholder; use your own domain.
Placeholders and Sample Values
| Placeholder | Meaning | Sample value |
|---|---|---|
| {product} | Product | washing machine |
| {phone} | Phone | 0755-XXXXXXX |
Filling in each placeholder
- Product (sample: washing machine): Keep the value short and specific; test the longest realistic value to check the message still reads well.
- Phone (sample: 0755-XXXXXXX): Use a number the customer can actually reach during business hours, ideally one already shown on your website.
This template has 2 placeholders and a body of 148 characters before values are filled in. RCS card descriptions can be longer than SMS, but the first line should still carry the key information, as previews are truncated.
Category and Approval
Promotional RCS messages should only go to customers who have agreed to receive marketing messages, with an easy way to opt out, following the same consent principles as SMS.
Compliance Checklist
- Your brand (name, logo and description) is verified with the RCS provider before launch.
- Suggested replies and actions are short (25 characters or fewer per chip) and each one leads somewhere useful.
- An SMS fallback is configured, and in India the fallback text uses a DLT-registered template.
Rules to keep in mind for Electronics & Appliance Dealers
Warranty terms and finance offers (such as no-cost EMI) must be stated clearly with the lender's conditions. E-waste collection and disposal claims should follow the E-Waste (Management) Rules.
General guidance, not legal advice. Rules change, so confirm current requirements before launch. See our RCS compliance guide for India.
Tips for Better Results
- Limit frequency; a few relevant messages perform better and attract fewer opt-outs than frequent broadcasts.
- Send only to people who have opted in, and record when and where they did so.
Where this message fits for Electronics & Appliance Dealers
Electronics and appliance shoppers compare specifications, prices and reviews online, often watching video reviews, before choosing between an online order and a store visit. Questions about warranty, installation, delivery of large items and exchange of old appliances decide many sales. After purchase, product registration, installation and service reminders keep customers coming back.
Search and comparison sites drive research; YouTube reviews and unboxing videos influence choices; WhatsApp answers product questions and shares spec sheets; SMS confirms delivery and installation slots; voice IVR routes service requests; email announces new models and seasonal offers.
Campaign ideas that pair with this template
- Air-conditioner servicing reminders in late spring, before the hot season
- Exchange offers for old appliances, with pickup booked on WhatsApp
- Launch alerts for new phone or TV models sent to opted-in subscribers

Questions About This Template
When should a electronics store send the exchange offer message?
Send to opted-in customers with older appliances on record. If customers reply, make sure someone on your team monitors and answers.
What happens if the customer's phone does not support RCS?
The message falls back to SMS. In India the fallback must use a DLT-registered template, which is why this page includes the SMS version.
Can I add images to this message?
Yes. A rich card can include an image or short video. Keep important details in the text as well, since not everyone views the image.
Can DND Teams set this up for my electronics store?
Yes. We adapt the template to your business, register or submit it, and connect it to your software or our panel. Share your use case on WhatsApp or through the form.
