WhatsApp

WhatsApp is the world’s most popular messaging app, with nearly three billion monthly active users. And because it’s the messaging platform of choice in Latin America, India and parts of Europe, it’s a vital tool if you want to reach consumers in these markets. 

With global popularity and high levels of engagement, you can use WhatsApp messaging to engage customers at every stage of the journey: from acquisition and initial outreach, to conversion and driving repeat purchases. 

Since WhatsApp is primarily a personal messaging app, it also enables conversational marketing, which builds loyal customer relationships and delivers measurable ROI. WhatsApp compliance broadly focuses on obtaining user consent, maintaining privacy through opt-ins, and safeguarding user information.
