iMessage from your CRM or API. Better delivery and reply rates than SMS. No A2P 10DLC wait.

The ROI Calculation

Scenario: Real Estate Agency

  • Leads per month: 500
  • Current email response rate: 5%
  • Current booking rate from responses: 10%
  • Deal value: $5,000

Current Results:

  • 500 × 5% = 25 responses
  • 25 × 10% = 2.5 bookings/month
  • 2.5 × $5,000 = $12,500/month

With iMessage (5-10% response, 15% booking):

  • 500 × 8% = 40 responses
  • 40 × 15% = 6 bookings/month
  • 6 × $5,000 = $30,000/month

Additional Revenue: $17,500/month Investment: $119-239/month ROI: 7,300-14,700%

Scenario: SaaS Company

  • Demo requests per month: 100
  • Current email response rate: 8%
  • Current booking rate: 15%
  • ACV: $2,000

Current Results:

  • 100 × 8% = 8 responses
  • 8 × 15% = 1.2 bookings/month
  • 1.2 × $2,000 = $2,400/month

With iMessage (10% response, 20% booking):

  • 100 × 10% = 10 responses
  • 10 × 20% = 2 bookings/month
  • 2 × $2,000 = $4,000/month

Additional Revenue: $1,600/month Investment: $47-119/month ROI: 1,345-3,404%
