About the Client
The client is a mid-sized e-commerce retailer that uses WhatsApp as a primary communication tool with customers.
With a rapidly expanding customer base, the company needed a streamlined approach to optimize its marketing efforts and reduce operational bottlenecks.
However, their existing marketing system simply couldn’t keep up with the growing demands.
Client Challenges: Ineffective Manual Marketing
The client struggled to manage their WhatsApp campaigns effectively. Their challenges affected scalability and optimization efforts.
They needed a solution to streamline processes and improve customer engagement.
Their WhatsApp marketing challenges include:
Manual Campaign Management
The marketing team had to create, send, and track WhatsApp messages manually. This made the process slow and increased dependency. This made the marketing inefficient and affected its scalability.
Limited Analytics
They had no analytics system to measure key performance metrics like open rates, response rates, or customer interaction. As a result, decisions were based on assumptions, rather than on actionable insights.
Compliance Risks
Manually monitoring WhatsApp’s strict messaging policies was challenging. Without automation, the risk of policy violations increased, potentially leading to account suspension or penalties.
Generic Messaging
The team used a one-size-fits-all approach and sent the same generic marketing messages to all customers with little to no customization. This lack of personalization led to poor engagement, as customers found the messages irrelevant to their interests.
Inefficient Scheduling
The marketing team used to send messages without considering optimal timing. This resulted in missed or ignored messages, leading to reduced engagement rates.
These challenges led to delays, increased operational costs, and threatened customer retention due to inefficiencies and non-compliance.
