WhatsApp’s integration makes it easier for retailers to communicate with their customers using their preferred channel.
More than 1.5 billion people in over 180 countries use WhatsApp, making it the largest messaging app in the world. It allows retailers to talk with shoppers on that channel, if that’s the channel they prefer.
- It’s instantaneous, as opposed to email as an example
- Privacy & security:--> The end-to-end encryption offered by WhatsApp ensures only you and the person you are communicating with can read what is sent and nobody in between. This enhanced sense of privacy is something that makes customers feel secure, as they do not get the same level of encryption on channels like email, social media, phone, or IVR.
