Before you send your first campaign, we recommend sending a vCard to your subscribers. This helps them save your number as a contact, so your messages are instantly recognizable and trusted.

For best results, send your vCard shortly after your contact import is confirmed and before your first campaign goes out.

📇 What is a vCard?

A vCard is a digital contact card that lets subscribers easily save your business as a contact on their phone—whether they’re using an iPhone or an Android.


Step 1: Create Your vCard (One-Time Setup)

We recommend using an online vCard generator because it’s quick and easy 😊
