Today, every business has a single goal – to connect with as many people as possible. In earlier days, marketing largely depended on newspapers, television and radio. But times have moved on. These days, people spend a large part of their day on their phones, and out of all the apps they use, WhatsApp remains the most popular.
Have you noticed how everyone is on WhatsApp these days — from local shop owners to big-name brands? The reason is simple: people are highly active on the platform and nearly every message gets read right away.
Now the question is, how can WhatsApp grow your business? The answer is: Broadcast Messaging and Bulk Messaging.
Why is WhatsApp important for business?
• More than 500 million users are on WhatsApp in India.
• Direct interaction with a brand makes people trust it faster.
• Even small businesses can use it without significant expense.
What is Bulk Messaging?
Now imagine you need to reach thousands or millions of people. Broadcast isn't enough here. Bulk Messaging is what works.
Bulk Messaging works through the WhatsApp Business API or an automation tool. You can send messages on a large scale – such as to 10,000 or 50,000 people simultaneously.
What benefits businesses gain?
1. Instant Delivery: WhatsApp messages are delivered in seconds.
2. Reliable Connection: Broadcast lists make messages feel personal, which increases customer trust.
3. Lower Costs: Higher Results: WhatsApp is cost-effective compared to SMS or advertising and the return is excellent.
4. More People Read: WhatsApp's open rate is better than almost every other platform.
5. Not Just Text, Everything: You can send videos, images, links, PDFs, and even buttons.
6. Reports and Tracking: With the WhatsApp API, you can view data on message delivery and responses.
How does it increase business reach?
• Reach new customers: Bulk messaging allows you to quickly disseminate new offers on a large scale.
• Re-engage old customers: Broadcast messaging maintains relationships with old customers.
• Convert leads into customers: By sending timely, accurate information.
• Easy customer support: FAQs or updates can be easily shared through bulk messaging.
Real-world examples:
Restaurant: A “Buy 1 Get 1 Free on pizza today” message was sent to 500 customers and orders doubled that very day.
E-commerce: A “Festival Sale up to 70% off” bulk message was sent to 50,000 people and website traffic suddenly increased exponentially.
Coaching institute: Information about a new course was broadcast, and dozens of students immediately booked demo classes.
How to use it correctly?
• Don't bother customers by sending unnecessary messages every day.
• Send tips, guides and useful information, not just promotions.
• Address customers by name to maintain a personal touch.
• Only send messages to those who have previously opted in.
• Be mindful of time – avoid sending messages early in the morning or late at night.
A glimpse into the future
WhatsApp is no longer just for chatting. With options like ads, catalogs, interactive buttons, and automation, it has become a strong platform for businesses and is set to play an important role in marketing in the future.
