Tips for using WhatsApp Business
- Take advantage of the visual elements
As I already mentioned, this app allows you to send messages with images and videos, so don’t hesitate to take advantage of these elements creatively to make your message more striking.
- Use short and direct messages
When writing your message, remember that less is more.
Don’t write super long and complicated messages because people won’t read them. Try to communicate your message in the simplest way and with the fewest number of words.
- Take care of messaging times
Lastly, send your messages at appropriate times to avoid making your customers uncomfortable or annoyed. Also, don’t saturate them with messages as this can get very intrusive.
