WhatsApp for Business Marketing: Best Practices That Respect Customers
In Brazil, WhatsApp is where many customers prefer to ask questions and close purchases. Used well, it shortens the path from interest to sale.
Set up WhatsApp Business properly
- Use a dedicated business number.
- Complete the business profile: description, address, hours, website.
- Create a catalog of products or services.
- Set a greeting and away message.
Answer fast and clearly
Speed is the main advantage. Prepare quick replies for common questions such as price ranges, delivery and payment options, then personalize them.
Use labels to organize leads
Tag conversations by stage: new, quote sent, negotiating, customer. It prevents forgotten leads.
Broadcasts and consent
Send messages only to people who have opted in, keep them relevant and offer an easy way to stop receiving them. Unwanted bulk messaging harms your reputation and can get your number restricted.
Connect it to your other channels
Add a WhatsApp button to your website, Google Business Profile and social profiles, and track where each conversation originated.
