Registering a Brand and Campaign for your business is a REQUIREMENT put in place by the mobile carriers to do ANY business texting. Any numbers that are not attached to a registered brand and campaign will be blocked by the mobile carriers. This will be a total block and you will not be able to send or receive any texts on these numbers.
Intulse and its partner carriers are not able to accept sole proprietor campaigns at this time so if your organization is not incorporated, you have two options:
This process, designed by The Campaign Registry (TCR), is long and complicated. In an effort to help you successfully navigate it with minimal impact to your business texting, Intulse has created this step-by-step guide which walks you through the process as clearly as possible. First we will help you Register your Brand, then we'll look at how to Create a Campaign. Please reach out to our support team if you are confused or need help at any point along the way.
Steps in the Process:
There are several times throughout this process where you will incur a cost. This is not our preference, but it's how TCR has built the platform. In an effort to be as transparent as possible, Intulse wants to provide you with an overview of those costs up front so you know what to expect:
| Brand Costs | Campaign Costs |
|---|---|
| $8 one-time Brand Registration Fee | $20 one-time Campaign Submission Fee (per campaign) |
| $8 Fee for EACH Rejected Brand ReSubmission** | $20 Fee for EACH Rejected Campaign ReSubmission** |
| $55 Standard Vetting* | $3-15 monthly Campaign Fee (based on Use-Case) |
| $120 Enhanced Vetting* |
* Brand vetting is optional, and you can choose Standard or Enhanced Vetting.
** There is a one-time Fee each time a brand or campaign is rejected and must be resubmitted.
This will be explained in further detail later in the process.
10DLC Registration is ONLY REQUIRED IF YOU PLAN TO USE SMS TEXTING SERVICES THROUGH INTULSE.
