💬The Secret to Using WhatsApp Without Annoying Everyone

We get it. WhatsApp is the new frontier of customer engagement.

67% of retail customers feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of daily WhatsApp messages from brands.

Here's how to ditch the spam and embrace WhatsApp marketing that gets results:

• Get Permission First: It all starts with respect.  Always obtain explicit opt-in from customers before adding them to your WhatsApp list.
• Personalize & Segment: Don't blast everyone with the same message.  Use customer data (purchase history, preferences, location) to send targeted offers and recommendations.
• Go Beyond Promotions: WhatsApp isn't just for discounts. Use it for order updates, appointment confirmations, loyalty program updates, and exclusive content.
• Keep it Conversational: Treat WhatsApp like a two-way street.  Respond promptly to inquiries and offer customer support through the platform.
• Maintain Decent Frequency: Don't bombard customers with daily messages.  Develop a strategic schedule based on customer preferences and campaign goals.

Remember one key rule: Prioritize quality over quantity and relevance over reach.

Shift Offline Customers Online in the Scorching Heat

The scorching heat keeps customers indoors, reducing foot traffic in stores. Yet, it's a chance to boost your online presence and adapt to changing habits.

Encouraging your in-store customers to shop online can be as simple as a friendly nudge such as:

• Online-only discounts: Offer special online-only discounts or free shipping codes encouraging online sales
• Loyalty Programs: Reward points for online purchases during the summer months.
• Click-and-Collect Services: Promote a click-and-collect service where customers can order online and pick up in-store quickly, reducing the time they spend in the heat.
• Referral Rewards: Offer referral discounts where customers earn rewards for recommending your online store to friends and family.
