Rakuten Viber introduces Viber Ads Manager for small and medium agencies and advertisers

If the holiday shopping season feels like a sprint and a marathon rolled into one, you’re not alone. Between Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Singles' Day, Christmas sales, and end-of-year clearances, it’s a high-stakes period where every message you send matters. The good news? With Viber Business Messages, you don’t have to shout to be heard—you just need to be smart, relevant, and present.Let’s walk through the real-world challenges brands face during peak shopping periods, how Viber Business Messages help solve them, and the best practices that will elevate your results—not just for a season, but for long-term customer growth.<h2>The problem: Noise, abandonment, and missed opportunities</h2>Every year, the shopping season delivers the same gift to brands: massive opportunity, wrapped in layers of complexity. You’re expected to stand out, stay relevant, and move fast—all while keeping the customer experience seamless. Every brand wants to capitalize on the shopping season, but a few common issues get in the way.&nbsp;<ul><li>One is message overload - consumers face endless promotions, emails, and ads to the point that most of it blurs together.</li><li>Another is cart abandonment, where customers start shopping but hesitate to complete the purchase, either due to distractions or uncertainty.</li><li>And then there’s post-sale silence, where the relationship ends with the transaction instead of continuing into loyalty.</li></ul>Traditional marketing channels often fall short in addressing these pain points in real-time. Emails may go unopened. Social feeds are crowded. SMS can feel intrusive. This is where <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/blog/post/what-are-viber-business-messages/">Viber Business Messages</a> step in. Not to replace these channels, but to fill the gaps with instant, personalized, and two-way communication.<h2>The solution: Building real connections with Viber Business Messages</h2>Unlike one-way marketing blasts, Viber Business Messages are designed for conversation. They're rich, interactive, and personal, and sent directly on the channel your customers already trust and use daily.Whether you're sending out pre-sale invitations, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/blog/post/effective-flash-sale-campaigns-with-viber-for-business/">last-minute flash deals</a>, or order updates, Viber enables you to:<ul><li>reach customers in real time</li><li>personalize offers based on behavior or profile</li><li>create frictionless paths to purchase</li><li>provide timely support throughout the shopping journey</li></ul>This conversational approach doesn’t just help you make a sale, it helps you start a relationship with customers who would otherwise be one-time or seasonal shoppers.<h2>Overcoming shopping season challenges with Viber</h2>Let’s talk through a few of the pain points that come up again and again, and how Viber helps you solve them in a smarter, more human way.First, there’s the problem of low visibility and engagement. You’ve probably spent hours crafting the perfect email campaign, only to see open rates hovering around 15%. Social media algorithms aren’t helping much either and your offers are fighting for attention in a crowded feed.With Viber, you’re not competing with cat videos or ads from five other brands. Your messages land in a trusted, familiar app, and because they’re native to the user experience, people open them. You’re not yelling into a void; you’re having a conversation in a space customers already engage with daily.Next comes the dreaded abandoned cart problem. It's rampant during the holidays when shoppers are browsing on the go, price-checking across sites, or just distracted by 17 tabs and three kids. With Viber, you can reconnect with those customers at just the right moment. You can send a friendly reminder like, “Still thinking about that leather backpack? 🎒 Here’s 10% off if you complete your order in the next hour.” This isn’t a cold follow-up, it’s a helpful nudge that respects the customer’s interest and time.And then there’s customer support overload. During peak season, your team is probably swamped. Calls or emails might get overlooked, responses are delayed, and customer satisfaction starts to dip. Viber Business Messages let you scale your support intelligently. You can route complex queries to live agents or deploy a chatbot with automated responses to FAQs (like return policies or delivery timelines) without forcing customers to switch channels. The result? Faster resolution, lower pressure on your team, and happier shoppers.Finally, consider the often-ignored issue of post-purchase silence. Many brands go quiet once the sale is done. But the truth is, this is when your relationship with the customer begins, not ends. With Viber, you can continue the conversation. Maybe you send a follow-up message like, “We hope you love your new smartwatch! ⌚ Here are some tips to get the most out of it.” Or, “Thanks for shopping with us—here’s a little something for your next order.” These thoughtful touches help turn one-time buyers into long-term customers.In short, Viber Business Messages are designed not just to broadcast, but to build connections. They solve real-world problems by giving you the tools to communicate like a person, not a program, which is what today’s customers are looking for.<h2>Shopping season personas: Which one are you?</h2>Shopping season success can look different for each brand, depending on which phase you decide to invest in. Let’s take a closer look at some of the strategies that have helped capture attention, build trust, and drive revenue during the busiest time of the year.<h3>The early bird</h3>Brands that know their customers well have the advantage of being one step ahead of the game. Leveraging your loyalty base and existing data can help you provide early access to sales or personalized recommendations based on previous purchases.The early birds will use Viber to send pre-sale offers to their most loyal customers before promotions go public, making them feel valued like they’re part of an exclusive club. This might look like a message saying “Our holiday gift sets are live for VIPs only - shop now before they sell out!” to create a sense of urgency and reward.And of course, personalized product recommendations shine during gifting season. Imagine a customer who bought a winter coat last year receiving a message suggesting matching gloves or scarves: “Still loving your coat? 🧣 Check out these new winter accessories curated just for you.” A tactic proven to increase AOV (average order value) and give your brand a more human touch.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1500/844;" src="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Shopping_season_blog_graphics_5_page_0002_a5d7bb9a72.jpg" alt="Shopping season blog_graphics (5)_page-0002.jpg" srcset="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Shopping_season_blog_graphics_5_page_0002_a5d7bb9a72.jpg 245w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/small_Shopping_season_blog_graphics_5_page_0002_a5d7bb9a72.jpg 500w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/medium_Shopping_season_blog_graphics_5_page_0002_a5d7bb9a72.jpg 750w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/large_Shopping_season_blog_graphics_5_page_0002_a5d7bb9a72.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1500" height="844"><figcaption>Example of sending product promotions via Viber Business Messages</figcaption></figure><h3>The right-on-timer</h3>If you don’t get a head start, it’s never too late to join the game. Shopping season is all about timeliness like last-minute deals, catching the last item in stock, and bringing customers back for more just when they thought they had enough. Needless to say, timing is everything when it comes to the early winter months.&nbsp;The <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/blog/post/effective-flash-sale-campaigns-with-viber-for-business/">real-time flash deal</a> tactic is one of the most powerful ways to stay top-of-mind during weekend shopping frenzies. Sending time-sensitive messages such as, “⏳ 4 hours only! Buy 1 get 1 free on all outdoor gear. Tap to claim your deal.” with interactive buttons can lead to hundreds of customers immediately jumping to your site, skipping any unnecessary friction.Back-in-stock alerts are another high-performing way to increase sales. Let’s say a particular pair of headphones sold out quickly after an initial promo. Once they’re available again, you can instantly notify interested customers with something like, “They’re back! 🎧 Your favorite wireless headphones just restocked. Tap here before they’re gone again.” On Viber, this kind of direct, timely messaging feels helpful, not spammy.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1500/844;" src="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Shopping_season_blog_graphics_5_page_0003_f05caf10c6.jpg" alt="Shopping season blog_graphics (5)_page-0003.jpg" srcset="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Shopping_season_blog_graphics_5_page_0003_f05caf10c6.jpg 245w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/small_Shopping_season_blog_graphics_5_page_0003_f05caf10c6.jpg 500w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/medium_Shopping_season_blog_graphics_5_page_0003_f05caf10c6.jpg 750w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/large_Shopping_season_blog_graphics_5_page_0003_f05caf10c6.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1500" height="844"><figcaption>Example of sending a back-in-stock alert via Viber Business Messages</figcaption></figure><h3>The supportive friend</h3>Flash deals and early bird sales might increase in-the-moment purchases, but what makes customer journeys on Viber unique is the power of proactive support.&nbsp;Instant, two-way conversations make it easier for you to communicate delivery times, product details, return and refund policies, and more <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/blog/post/viber-chatbots-everything-you-need-to-know/">through a chatbot</a> or an agent. So instead of waiting hours for a reply, customers receive personalized help that’s fast and easy.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1500/844;" src="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Shopping_season_blog_graphics_5_page_0004_e9517f7e60.jpg" alt="Shopping season blog_graphics (5)_page-0004.jpg" srcset="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Shopping_season_blog_graphics_5_page_0004_e9517f7e60.jpg 245w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/small_Shopping_season_blog_graphics_5_page_0004_e9517f7e60.jpg 500w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/medium_Shopping_season_blog_graphics_5_page_0004_e9517f7e60.jpg 750w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/large_Shopping_season_blog_graphics_5_page_0004_e9517f7e60.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1500" height="844"><figcaption>Example of providing two-way customer support on Viber</figcaption></figure><h2>Best Practices for shopping season success with Viber Business Messages</h2>Getting the most out of Viber Business Messages during the shopping season isn’t just about what you say—it’s also about how and when you say it. Here are some tried-and-tested best practices to help your campaigns not only land, but perform.<ol><li>Start early, don’t rush it: Don’t wait until Black Friday to start messaging. Use Viber to build anticipation with teaser messages, sneak previews, or early-access offers for loyal customers. This helps build momentum and avoids overwhelming your audience all at once.</li><li>Segment your audience thoughtfully: Not every shopper is the same. Segment based on behavior (past purchases, browsing history), location, or engagement level. A VIP shopper might appreciate early access, while a new subscriber might need a welcome discount to convert.</li><li>Use pre-filled quick replies and buttons: Reduce friction by giving customers clear paths to take action. Buttons like “Shop Now,” “See More,” or “Claim Discount” drive clicks. Quick replies can streamline communication and make conversations feel more interactive.</li><li>Keep it short and impactful: Attention spans are short during peak season. Your message should be immediately clear: what’s the offer, why should they care, and what should they do next? Add an image or product preview to grab attention and clearly display your offers.</li><li>Personalize whenever possible: Use their name. Reference their recent activity. Mention items they’ve browsed or similar products. Personalization is a way to show that you’re paying attention, which customers appreciate.</li><li>Time your messages strategically: Monitor when your customers are most likely to engage (for example, during lunch breaks, after work, or weekend mornings) and schedule your messages accordingly. Viber’s delivery reports and analytics can help you refine this over time.</li><li>Use rich media wisely: Images, carousels, and even short videos can make your message pop. But don’t overload it because too many visuals can distract from what you’re really offering.</li><li>Automate the basics: Use a chatbot or automated flow to handle FAQs like “What’s your return policy?” or “When will my order ship?” Free up your team to focus on more complex or high-value conversations.</li><li>Respect frequency and avoid fatigue: More isn’t always better. Over-messaging during a busy season can push users to mute or unsubscribe. A well-planned sequence of 2–3 timely messages often performs better than daily updates.</li><li>Test, learn, and adapt: Use A/B testing to try different copy, images, or timings. Viber’s analytics help you quickly see what’s working so you can iterate fast and stay ahead of the curve</li></ol><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1500/844;" src="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Shopping_season_blog_graphics_2_page_0005_8ac8cfe7ec.jpg" alt="Shopping season blog_graphics (2)_page-0005.jpg" srcset="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Shopping_season_blog_graphics_2_page_0005_8ac8cfe7ec.jpg 245w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/small_Shopping_season_blog_graphics_2_page_0005_8ac8cfe7ec.jpg 500w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/medium_Shopping_season_blog_graphics_2_page_0005_8ac8cfe7ec.jpg 750w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/large_Shopping_season_blog_graphics_2_page_0005_8ac8cfe7ec.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1500" height="844"><figcaption>Best practices for shopping season success with Viber Business Messages</figcaption></figure><h2>Grow more than sales this shopping season</h2>Yes, the shopping season is a big revenue opportunity.

Here are some of the most impactful ways businesses are already using them:<h3>Share new arrivals and back-in-stock alerts&nbsp;</h3>Viber Carousel Messages act as your digital shop window, perfect for featuring curated selections like bestsellers, seasonal picks, or new arrivals in a neat, scrollable format. They’re also ideal for letting customers know when a favourite product is back in stock or to showcase exciting new arrivals. Each card links directly to its page, making it easy for customers to browse and buy instantly, tapping into fresh interest as soon as it sparks.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1500/844;" src="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/viber_carousel_messages_new_arrivals_3864afdf75.jpg" alt="viber carousel messages_new arrivals.jpg" srcset="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_viber_carousel_messages_new_arrivals_3864afdf75.jpg 245w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/small_viber_carousel_messages_new_arrivals_3864afdf75.jpg 500w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/medium_viber_carousel_messages_new_arrivals_3864afdf75.jpg 750w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/large_viber_carousel_messages_new_arrivals_3864afdf75.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1500" height="844"><figcaption>Example of promoting new arrivals using Viber Carousel Messages</figcaption></figure><h3>Drive urgency with flash sales and limited-time offers</h3>Nothing sparks action like a great deal that’s about to disappear. Carousels are perfect for showcasing multiple discounted items or special offers in one go, with clear CTAs like “Only Today” or “Shop Now.” You can even add countdown visuals to amplify that sense of urgency and encourage customers to act fast.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1500/844;" src="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/viber_carousel_messages_limited_time_offers_256ba04d66.jpg" alt="viber carousel messages_limited time offers.jpg" srcset="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_viber_carousel_messages_limited_time_offers_256ba04d66.jpg 245w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/small_viber_carousel_messages_limited_time_offers_256ba04d66.jpg 500w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/medium_viber_carousel_messages_limited_time_offers_256ba04d66.jpg 750w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/large_viber_carousel_messages_limited_time_offers_256ba04d66.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1500" height="844"><figcaption>Example of sharing limited-time offers using Viber Carousel Messages</figcaption></figure><h3>Help customers compare options and make decisions</h3>Buying decisions often come down to comparing choices side by side.

Viber Advertising: Everything you need to know

May 20th was the start of the future of Viber in Athens, Greece, where our team met with trusted partners and clients to unravel the ecosystem we’ll soon be able to experience within the super app.<h2 style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:18pt;" dir="ltr">Rakuten Viber’s vision for the future</h2>Our Chief Revenue Officer,&nbsp;Cristina Constandache, and Chief Product Officer,&nbsp;Nadav Melnick, took the stage to showcase what Viber can look like in the future.

Viber Chatbots: Everything you need to know

Imagine a scenario where a consumer, eager to purchase their desired item, finds it out of stock. Traditionally, this might spell a lost sale for a business. But with back-in-stock alerts, this minor setback transforms into a sales recovery technique.<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/business-messages/">Viber Business Messages</a> make it easy for brands to send personalized, timely back-in-stock alerts that increase click-through rates and sales - all while <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/blog/post/faster-customer-service-and-lower-costs-how-viber-business-messages-make-it-happen/">enhancing the customer experience</a>. Read on to learn more about the benefits of sending back-in-stock alerts on Rakuten Viber, how they work as an efficient sales strategy, and how integrating them into your CRM and CDP platforms can help you deliver timely messages to customers.<h2>What are back-in-stock alerts?</h2>Back-in-stock alerts are notifications, often sent as a text, email, or push notification, that inform customers their desired item has been restocked and is ready to be purchased. More brands are turning to these alerts to boost sales and conversions, especially during slow periods after peak shopping seasons, to re-engage dormant customers. And they work:<ul><li>Push notifications outperform traditional email marketing, with a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://truelist.co/blog/push-notification-statistics/">50% higher open rate</a>.</li><li>Back-in-stock push notifications have the potential to recoup <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.sellerscommerce.com/blog/shopping-cart-abandonment-statistics/">more than 50%</a> of missed sales opportunities.</li></ul><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;" src="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/back_in_stock_alerts_blog_in_blog_graphic_01_978c8272fe.png" alt="back-in-stock alerts blog_in-blog graphic-01.png" srcset="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_back_in_stock_alerts_blog_in_blog_graphic_01_978c8272fe.png 245w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/small_back_in_stock_alerts_blog_in_blog_graphic_01_978c8272fe.png 500w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/medium_back_in_stock_alerts_blog_in_blog_graphic_01_978c8272fe.png 750w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/large_back_in_stock_alerts_blog_in_blog_graphic_01_978c8272fe.png 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1920" height="1080"><figcaption>Example of a back-in-stock alert via Viber Business Message</figcaption></figure><h2>How back-in-stock alerts maximize engagement and revenue</h2>Customers who receive back-in-stock alerts are reminded that what they've been eyeing is ready for purchase, resulting in a significant boost in engagement and revenue:<ul><li>Increased click-through rates (CTR): Back-in-stock alerts help <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/blog/post/why-messaging-apps-should-be-1-choice-for-marketers/">boost customer engagement</a>, prompting customers to take immediate action by clicking on the notification to revisit the product they were previously interested in. This leads to increased CTR, which is a strong indicator that the alerts are relevant and timely.</li><li>Improved customer loyalty: The <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/blog/post/the-rise-of-personalization-in-mobile-marketing/">personalization aspect</a> of back-in-stock alerts directly contributes to improved customer loyalty. These notifications show customers that a business is attentive to their needs and preferences, thereby nurturing a positive emotional connection to the brand. This personalized consumer experience can lead to repeat purchases and a higher lifetime value per customer, as shoppers often prefer to stick with brands that recognize and cater to their specific interests.</li><li>Soaring sales: The effectiveness of back-in-stock alerts in driving sales is notable as they encourage prompt responses from customers, who are less likely to seek out alternative brands when they quickly find what they want back in stock. They also promote more efficient inventory management, as items are quickly moved from restocked to sold, streamlining the overall sales process. Back-in-stock alerts effectively tap into existing customer interests, influencing higher sales for businesses.</li></ul><h2>The benefits of sending back-in-stock alerts via Rakuten Viber</h2>Rakuten Viber enables brands to reach a global audience across diverse regions and demographics to deliver notifications that feel tailored and genuine. Brands looking to capitalize on the ever-competitive eCommerce landscape can benefit from sending personalized back-in-stock alerts via <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/blog/post/what-are-viber-business-messages/">Viber Business Messages</a>. Here’s how:<h3>Personalization</h3>Personalization in notifications is a game-changer, known to increase open rates by <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.businessofapps.com/marketplace/push-notifications/research/push-notifications-statistics/">up to 400%</a>. Connecting Viber Business Messages to your <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/blog/post/2023-marketing-toolbox-martech-and-adtech-cdp-ai-superapp/">customer data platform (CDP)</a> will help you use data such as demographics, behaviors, and previous purchases to send timely, personalized notifications that engage customers through rich features - influencing their purchase decisions.&nbsp;<h3>Targeting</h3>Another statistic shows that advanced targeting strategies can <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.businessofapps.com/marketplace/push-notifications/research/push-notifications-statistics/">triple (3x) the chance</a> of notifications being acted upon. Integrating Viber Business Messages into your customer relationship management (CRM) system enables you to send alerts to specific audience segments, increasing click-through rates and conversions. You can segment audiences based on age, gender, purchase history, and more - and tailor your back-in-stock alerts based on the items that speak most to each segment.<h3>AR-powered experiences</h3>Rakuten Viber enables brands to transform their mobile offers into interactive experiences for customers. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/blog/post/rakuten-viber-and-kiko-milano-bridge-the-gap-between-online-and-offline-beauty-experiences-with-innovative-virtual-try-on/">Viber Lenses</a> are a good way to boost your back-in-stock alerts and influence sales by enabling customers to try on your products before buying them.

Emojis can make alerts more appealing, resulting in a 20% improvement in open rates. Timing is crucial, and sending notifications at industry-specific times can yield a 40% increase in opens. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/blog/post/the-impact-of-visual-content-how-messaging-apps-are-changing-the-way-we-connect/">Rich formats</a>, including images or videos, can enhance engagement, leading to a 25% boost in open rates.

This system should be adept at recognizing when a customer's 'favorite' item is available, producing an immediate and personalized alert in response.</li><li>Personalize alerts: Dig into the data to craft notifications that resonate personally.

This level of customization elevates your service, respects the customer's distinctive taste, and values their time.</li><li>Enrich your messages: Add rich media to your alerts to showcase your products. These features will help you give customers an enticing experience rather than “just another notification” - increasing interest, engagement, and sales.</li><li>Two-click ordering process: Streamline the purchase process by ensuring that customer data, such as addresses and payment details, are securely stored. This convenience is key, allowing for smooth and hassle-free order completion—a priority for time-pressed consumers.</li><li>Analyze and adjust: Continuously measure the performance of your back-in-stock alerts by monitoring the click-through rate.

7 Creative Ways to Use Rakuten Viber for Valentine’s Day

Discover how Rakuten Viber can help you set up the perfect Valentine's Day campaigns

Spread love and romance: Creative ways to use Rakuten Viber for Valentine's Day

Clarity. Trust. Efficiency.&nbsp;Today, these are all essential parts of a successful business messaging experience.&nbsp;To support this, Rakuten Viber is introducing Transactional Message Templates – a structured way for brands to send important customer updates in a more consistent and reliable format.Starting July 1, 2026, templates will become mandatory for all transactional Viber Business Messages.In this guide, you’ll learn:<ul><li>Why Viber is introducing templates</li><li>What transactional templates are</li><li>The difference between transactional and promotional messages</li><li>Common template use cases</li><li>How to get started</li></ul><h2>Why is Viber introducing Transactional Message templates?</h2>Over the past decade, Rakuten Viber has continuously enhanced its Business Messages offering to support brands in delivering timely and relevant communication. But as messaging channels become more crowded, ensuring that important messages are both noticeable and trusted has become more challenging.Transactional messages, such as delivery updates, verification codes, or booking confirmations, are often the most important touchpoints between a brand and its customers. These messages must be:<ul><li>Instantly recognizable</li><li>Easy to read and act on</li><li>Trusted by recipients</li></ul>Transactional Message templates are designed to meet these expectations by combining structure, clarity, and reliability into a consistent messaging experience.By providing ready-made formats optimized for effectiveness, templates help brands create high-quality messages while automatically aligning with Viber’s guidelines.Templates have already been tested across multiple markets, where partners and brands reported improved message quality, greater consistency, and more efficient workflows. Following this positive feedback, Viber is now rolling out Transactional Message templates globally to further standardize and elevate business communication.<h2>What are Transactional Message templates?</h2>Transactional Message Templates are structured text-only message formats that businesses use to send recurring customer updates in a clear and consistent way. They combine fixed text with customizable fields, making it easy to personalize messages at scale while maintaining a consistent experience.Message templates include:<ul><li>Static text (fixed parts of the message)</li><li>Variables (dynamic fields such as name, time, order number, etc.)</li></ul>For example:Hi {{NAME}}, your order has shipped! It will be delivered between {{TIME_START}} and {{TIME_END}}.Each template is reviewed and approved by Rakuten Viber to ensure compliance with platform guidelines, reduce the risk of errors or misuse, and simplify the overall message-sending process.<h2>Transactional vs Promotional Messages</h2>Understanding the difference between transactional and promotional messages is essential for choosing the correct messaging format and ensuring compliance with Viber guidelines.<h3>Transactional messages</h3>Transactional messages are designed to inform or update customers with important, non-commercial information.<ul><li>Common examples include:</li><li>OTP and verification codes</li><li>Delivery updates</li><li>Appointment reminders</li><li>Booking confirmations</li><li>Account or security alerts</li></ul>These messages must use approved Transactional Message Templates starting July 1, 2026. Any transactional messages that are sent without a template after this date will be considered as promotional, and will be charged at the promotional message rate.<h3>Promotional messages</h3>Promotional messages are designed to market a product, service, or offer.These may include:<ul><li>Discounts or special offers</li><li>Product announcements</li><li>Invitations to take action</li><li>Marketing campaigns</li></ul>Promotional messages support additional rich media formats such as:<ul><li>Images</li><li>Buttons</li><li>URLs</li><li>Carousels</li><li>Videos</li></ul>Promotional content cannot be sent through transactional templates. Including promotional content inside a transactional template may result in template rejection.Beyond improving message consistency, templates also provide several operational and customer experience benefits.<h2>Key benefits of Transactional Message templates</h2>Transactional Message templates are designed to improve both the business and customer experience. By standardizing how critical updates are delivered, templates help brands streamline operations while ensuring users receive clear and trustworthy information.<ol><li>Security and trust: Templates help customers easily recognize legitimate business messages and reduce the risk of fraud or impersonation. This strengthens brand credibility and gives customers greater confidence in message authenticity, an increasingly critical factor in engagement and conversion.</li><li>Consistency: A standardized format ensures that important information is presented clearly and predictably, making messages easier to scan and understand at a glance.</li><li>Operational efficiency: With pre-defined structures, brands no longer need to invest time and resources into crafting repetitive transactional content. This allows them to focus on delivering value rather than formatting messages.</li><li>Compliance: Templates help ensure communications follow Viber guidelines and messaging best practices.</li><li>Reliability: By optimizing format and delivery, templates support higher engagement with critical messages, helping ensure critical updates are delivered clearly and reliably.</li></ol><h2>Common use cases for Transactional Templates</h2>Transactional templates are best suited for recurring customer updates such as:<ul><li>OTP and verification messages</li><li>Order confirmations and receipts</li><li>Delivery and journey updates</li><li>Appointment reminders</li><li>Account activity alerts</li><li>Password and security notifications</li><li>Subscription renewal reminders</li></ul><h2>Best Practices for Using Templates</h2><ul><li>Keep messages clear and concise</li><li>Use variables to personalize content</li><li>Avoid any promotional language in transactional templates</li><li>Test templates across different use cases</li><li>Templates must comply with Viber’s general messaging guidelines.</li></ul><h2>How to Get Started</h2>Getting started with Transactional Message Templates is easy. Here's how it works:For Messaging Partners: If you're an official Viber Business Messages Partner, you'll need to upgrade your integration with our new Templates API to enable this feature for your brand clients.For Brands: Reach out to your Messaging Provider to check their integration status and get the feature enabled. Once your provider's integration is complete, you can activate Transactional Message Templates directly through your existing Viber Business Messages account.Don’t have a Viber Business Messages Account? Set one up through one of our <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/messaging-partners/">trusted messaging partners</a> to start sending Transactional Viber Business Messages to your customers.<h2>Start using message templates today</h2>Message templates are a strategic step toward more secure, scalable, and user-friendly business communication.By adopting templates early, brands and partners can improve message performance, build stronger customer trust, and streamline their operations.Messaging Partners can refer to the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://vb.me/Transactional_Message_Templates_API&amp;sa=D&amp;source=docs&amp;ust=1779355614608128&amp;usg=AOvVaw2i7Glj4NgUm3lEJ-VQQ3FB">Templates API documentation</a> for technical integration details.

Transactional Message Templates: Everything You Need to Know

Building meaningful connections between businesses and customers takes the right tools. That’s why we're constantly evolving Viber Business Messages to deliver them.&nbsp;This month's updates bring four new features and improvements, all designed to help you streamline your messaging workflows and drive better results.&nbsp;May 2026 highlights:<ul><li>Quick Replies: A new message format for better two-way conversations</li><li>OTP Auto-copy: The faster way to authenticate</li><li>Tap &amp; Copy: Built for a seamless path to purchase</li><li>Partner Portal: New self-service options that empower your team</li></ul>Let's dive into what each update means for your business.<figure class="media"><oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4GCzkthUIs"></oembed></figure><h2>Quick Replies: A new message format for better two-way conversations</h2>What once required multiple systems (email, call centers, web portals) can now happen inside one conversation. Customers desire simplicity, ease, and the ability to complete entire processes, from choosing between offers to arranging and scheduling delivery, with one tap.This is exactly what our newest message format, Quick Reply, is all about.<h3>Viber List Messages have evolved into Quick Replies with new UI options</h3>Quick Reply Messages (formerly List Messages) are an interactive message type that lets businesses guide customers through simple journeys using up to 10 predefined responses, making two-way communication faster and more intuitive.Businesses can choose between two designs: &nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:960/540;" src="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Quick_Reply_Messages_Designs_a182c4dd4f.png" alt="Quick Reply Messages_Designs.png" srcset="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Quick_Reply_Messages_Designs_a182c4dd4f.png 245w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/small_Quick_Reply_Messages_Designs_a182c4dd4f.png 500w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/medium_Quick_Reply_Messages_Designs_a182c4dd4f.png 750w," sizes="100vw" width="960" height="540"><figcaption>Quick Reply Messages feature overview including two new design options</figcaption></figure><h3>Starting a free 24-hour session with Quick Reply Messages</h3>With Quick Reply Messages, brands can receive instant responses from customers, automatically opening a free 24-hour conversational session.*&nbsp;This results in:<ul><li>Faster customer interactions</li><li>Improved conversion rates</li><li>A more intuitive experience</li></ul>By delivering Quick Replies as a session message, businesses can respond to user-initiated conversations at no cost, while customers benefit from a seamless experience by tapping a reply instead of typing one.For incoming messages that fall outside the Quick Reply options, businesses can configure responses via their provider. This will help you set clear expectations and a high standard of customer service. &nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:960/540;" src="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Quick_Reply_Sessions_Breakdown_5eb586b45f.png" alt="Quick Reply_Sessions Breakdown.png" srcset="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Quick_Reply_Sessions_Breakdown_5eb586b45f.png 245w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/small_Quick_Reply_Sessions_Breakdown_5eb586b45f.png 500w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/medium_Quick_Reply_Sessions_Breakdown_5eb586b45f.png 750w," sizes="100vw" width="960" height="540"><figcaption>The difference between message-based pricing model (before) and session-based pricing model (now)</figcaption></figure><h3>Quick Reply use cases</h3>Quick replies can find their use in any industry by simplifying and streamlining processes when it comes to:<ul><li>Satisfaction surveys</li><li>Delivery or appointment scheduling</li><li>Post-sale follow up</li><li>Customer onboarding to a new product or service</li><li>Collecting customer feedback and preferences</li></ul>Check out our <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://vb.me/Business-Messages-API">BM API documentation</a> and prepare to use Quick Replies with session pricing (available from June 1, 2026).*Available from June 1, 2026. Session starts when the user replies to a Quick Reply message, and all messages sent within 24 hours are free of charge. The first message after the 24h session ends will be charged at the promotional rate, while Quick Replies are charged at the transactional rate.<h2>OTP Auto-copy: The faster way to authenticate</h2>Businesses using Viber for sending OTP can now offer even smoother service to their Android users - PIN code background auto-copy is now available, making authentication simpler, faster and safer. On IOs (26+) this is a native functionallity.<h2>Tap &amp; Copy: Built for a seamless path to purchase</h2>We have also released Tap&amp;Copy feature, so Viber users can now copy parts of Business Messages, such as coupon codes or order tracking numbers, with one tap.<h2>Partner Portal: New self-service options that empower your team</h2>We’ve expanded the self-service capabilities in the Partner Portal, giving you more control over your Viber Business Messages Account without needing to contact our Customer Success team.In addition to updating your business account’s Logo and Description, you can now directly manage technical fields such as Callback/Message URL, IP addresses, and template webhooks.Changes to these technical fields are applied automatically and reflected almost immediately (within one minute), with no moderation required. Because these settings directly impact your ability to send and receive messages, we recommend reviewing all entries carefully before submitting. Once your changes are applied, you’ll receive a confirmation email.<h2>Stay tuned for more updates</h2>We'll be sharing more updates on our features and latest improvements in the coming months.

Viber Business Messages Updates: May 2026

[May 2026] Viber Business Messages Updates

In global retail, the path from seeing a product to owning it has never been shorter. We have moved beyond the era of omnichannel into something much faster and more personal: Conversational Commerce.According to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://b2b.viber.com/simplifying-messaging-for-smarter-customer-growth">our latest research</a> with Omdia, messaging has evolved from a simple notification tool into a storefront. But there’s a catch. Despite the hype, 70% of retail businesses are struggling to see measurable revenue or engagement from their messaging spend.The "chat window" is the new digital storefront, but most retailers are leaving the lights off. Read on and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Rakuten_Viber_Retail_Messaging_Trends_One_pager_31274ae2fe.pdf">download the one-pager</a> to learn how to bridge the performance gap and turn conversations into growth.<h2>1. The performance gap: Why "blasting" no longer works</h2>The 70% failure rate isn't a tech problem; it’s a strategy problem. Most retailers are stuck in a "broadcast" mindset, leading to three main friction points:<ul><li>Inconsistent experiences: One-third of retailers report that customer service varies by platform. For instance, a helpful live chat is often followed by a robotic, unhelpful SMS.</li><li>Campaign fatigue: Low open rates suggest retailers are still "blasting" generic messages instead of building genuine engagement.</li><li>The conversion hurdle: Even when customers click, the path to purchase is often too clunky, causing them to abandon their carts before finishing the purchase.</li></ul><h2>2. The maturity shift: Moving toward predictive engagement</h2>To fix the gap, retailers are pivoting. While Email (85%) remains the standard for receipts, "active" engagement has moved to platforms that support the entire shopping journey.<ul><li>Social commerce: 62% of retailers are prioritizing platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, which is well above the average in other industries. This shift highlights how visual and social modern shopping has become.</li><li>The "Superapp" model: Retailers are moving toward platforms like WhatsApp and Rakuten Viber. These apps act as a single hub where a customer’s identity, loyalty points, and purchase history are all stored in one secure chat thread.</li><li>The RCS frontier: There is a surge in interest for RCS (Rich Communication Services). Retailers want to use its "app-like" features, such as high-res image carousels and clickable buttons, to provide a premium shopping experience directly in the phone’s native messaging app.</li></ul><h2>3. The AI solution: Personalization at scale</h2>To bridge this performance gap, retailers are turning to Artificial Intelligence as the only way to deliver true personalization at scale.70% of retailers now state that their primary goal for AI is to improve targeting.Instead of generic weekly blasts, they are shifting toward "Predictive Engagement”, using AI to analyze browsing and buying habits so they can send the right message at the perfect time.For example, an AI assistant does more than just answer a sizing question; it recognizes a past purchase, like a red dress, and suggests matching shoes through a rich-media message with a one-tap payment option.<h2>4. The mandate: Simplify to grow</h2>The biggest takeaway for global retail leaders is that messaging cannot be treated as a collection of disconnected tools; success depends on managing it as a single, unified platform through two key strategies:<ul><li>System integration: Messaging only becomes "smart" when it’s connected to your CRM and payment systems. When tools share data, the interface knows exactly who the customer is and what they need.</li><li>Platform consolidation: 48% of retailers are consolidating their tools into a single, primary platform. This reduces "technical bloat," cuts costs, and ensures a consistent brand voice globally.</li></ul><h2>The new rule of retail</h2>The next era of retail growth won’t be defined by how many channels a brand uses, but by the quality of the conversations within them. Success now depends on creating a shopping experience that feels both intuitive and secure.The most effective strategy is to simplify to grow.&nbsp;By moving away from fragmented tools and toward integrated, AI-driven personalization, retailers can transform messaging from a simple notification center into a powerful, proactive assistant. The brands that thrive will be those that stop shouting at their customers and start listening to them.Ready to simplify your messaging and grow revenue? <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://stage.forbusiness.viber.com/en/blog/post/retail-messaging-trends/#form_f2068195-d9a1-43a2-bd10-e4a6372fbec7">Talk to us!</a><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://b2b.viber.com/simplifying-messaging-for-smarter-customer-growth"><img src="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/1200_627_1_fa1e3ace5a.png" alt="Download the full ebook to learn more" srcset="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_1200_627_1_fa1e3ace5a.png 245w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/small_1200_627_1_fa1e3ace5a.png 500w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/medium_1200_627_1_fa1e3ace5a.png 750w,https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/large_1200_627_1_fa1e3ace5a.png 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1200" height="627"></a> &nbsp;
