The Challenge
Scaling Educator Outreach Without Escalating Costs
For a time-bound Art-Integrated Learning workshop, Extramarks needed to drive educator registrations at scale — quickly and cost-effectively.
But three barriers stood in the way:
- Rising WhatsApp Costs: A strong channel, but increasingly expensive per engagement.
- Limited Message Richness: Plain-text messages lacked visual impact and interactivity.
- Time Sensitivity: Workshops required urgency, reminders, and real-time nudges to capture late-stage converters.
The team needed a smarter channel mix — one that balanced reach, richness, trust, and cost efficiency.
The Solution
A Conversion-First Omnichannel Messaging Strategy
With Netcore Cloud, Extramarks implemented a strategic combination of RCS + WhatsApp Journeys, ensuring both reach and performance.
- RCS for Rich, Trusted Engagement
- WhatsApp for Baseline Reach
- Intelligent Journey Design
The Impact
Higher Conversions. Lower Costs. Stronger ROI.
- 22.6% Uplift in Conversions
RCS outperformed baseline messaging, delivering significantly more workshop registrations. - 80% Lower Cost per Conversion
Shifting volume to RCS drastically reduced cost per registration compared to WhatsApp-only outreach. - 2X ROI
Improved conversion density plus lower spend resulted in doubled return on marketing investment. - The outcome: richer experiences, smarter distribution, and measurable growth — without ballooning acquisition costs.
