Compliance & Best Practices

Conversational commerce in Home & Furniture is governed by TCPA (US SMS), GDPR (EU), and platform rules from WhatsApp Business. Brands that scale safely build these into their opt-in and send-pattern design.

TCPA — Express Written Consent (US)
Home & Furniture brands must capture clear written opt-in before promotional SMS, disclose frequency and 'msg & data rates may apply,' and honor STOP/HELP immediately.
10DLC Registration (US carriers)
US A2P SMS requires brand + campaign registration. Unregistered traffic is heavily filtered — register the brand, use-case, and sample messages to protect deliverability.
GDPR — Lawful Basis (EU)
EU subscribers require explicit consent or documented legitimate interest, with transparent data use and easy withdrawal or erasure within 30 days.
Quiet Hours & Frequency
Send within local quiet-hour windows (typically 8am–9pm) and cap frequency. Over-messaging erodes deliverability, raises opt-outs, and can trigger carrier filtering.

Common Message Types in Home & Furniture

High-performing brands rotate across transactional, behavioral, and promotional message types. Share below reflects revenue contribution across 300+ Zefir brands, not total send volume.
