Key benefits of using WhatsApp Business Platform with Infobip

It’s no secret that customers want a simple and convenient way to connect with brands. But what does that look like?  

Well, ideally, they can communicate with a business on a single channel, without having to jump between apps and contact centers to get the support they are looking for in an instant.

That’s why WhatsApp Business Platform has become so popular for business messaging. Brands can create conversational experiences with their customers and efficiently manage customer support, sales, marketing, and other functions on a channel their customers already use. 

Let’s dive into the benefits of using WhatsApp Business Platform, how you can make the most of it with a WhatsApp business solution provider and discover how Infobip can help you digitally transform your business interactions.

WhatsApp Business Platform offers features that make it easier to connect with customers for various use cases.

WhatsApp is available in over 180 countries with 2 billion monthly active users, giving you the reach your business messages need to support growth.

It’s fast and easy to get started building a business account on WhatsApp. With a simple and easy to use API, developers can start designing message flows and user journeys to help boost engagement and improve overall experience on a single channel.  

However to do that you need a WhatsApp Business Solution Provider.

To use WhatsApp as a business communication tool and take advantage of its more advanced features, you need to go through an official WhatsApp Business Solution Provider.  

A WhatsApp Business Solution provider is a third-party service provider that offers the infrastructure, tools, and support necessary for businesses to integrate WhatsApp into their customer communication strategies.  

These providers bridge the gap between businesses and WhatsApp. Helping ensure compliance with WhatsApp’s policies and providing technical support to leverage the platform effectively.

End-to-end encryption on WhatsApp ensures that only the receiver and sender can access messages. This way, your and your customer’s data and information are protected.  

You can securely share all important documents, including payment receipts, bank statements, images, videos, tickets, and more. 

Once a conversation is started through the Click-to-WhatsApp ad, full funnel analytics will be available to you. You will see the return on ad spend for each ad. And it can help you make data-driven decisions and optimize future campaigns. 

We enable businesses of all sizes to engage a potential audience of over 2 billion people in 180 countries on WhatsApp using our platform.

Read on to learn how to leverage our expertise and cloud solutions to deliver conversational experiences that convert and retain. 

Setting up conversational experiences is becoming a standard across industries. Consumers prefer a single platform that offers a complete end-to-end experience rather than downloading multiple apps for different purposes. 

Combining WhatsApp’s vast feature set with our marketing, chatbot, and customer support solutions can help you build just that – one connected journey on your customers’ favorite channel. 

Combine WhatsApp’s rich and engaging message types to set up cross-sell or upsell campaigns, onboard new customers, and create an efficient sign-up experience using our omnichannel customer engagement solution. 

Then, use our chatbot building platform to set up self-service options by deploying a WhatsApp chatbot. Setting up quick reply and call-to-action buttons in your chatbot logic will help connect your customers to your website or customer service so they can complete the next step in their journey. 

From there, you can enable customers to connect with a live agent in the same chat by connecting your chatbot to our cloud contact center solution. And with a pre-integrated customer data platform, your agent can pick up the conversation where the customer and chatbot left off – without losing conversation history or context. 

Using various message types across the customer journey will make each stage engaging. Having your marketing, chatbot, and support communication all on one platform will give your customers an uninterrupted experience. And at the same time, your teams will have a productive, efficient way to work. 

With ads as an entry point, end-to-end customer behavior can be easily tracked. As a result, you can deliver personalized, one-to-one experiences that increase engagement, conversions, and overall customer satisfaction. 

In addition, to help you stay ahead of the customer experience curve, we continuously develop and deploy new features with value-added functionalities, including: 

These add-ons help ensure high security and deliverability – so your customers never miss a message or compromise personal information. 

If you need assistance setting up your account or want in-depth, personalized consultancy services, our team of in-house CX professionals can help.  

They can help you transform your customer journey and leverage the full potential of WhatsApp as a channel on our omnichannel communications platform. 

Through collaborative design-thinking workshops, our CX consultants work with your teams to transform your business objectives into use cases that bring you the most value. 

Then, they help you design the best customer journeys with the right combination of chatbot, customer support, and marketing automation flows by applying human-centric conversational and behavioral design processes. 

However, if in-depth CX consulting is a step too far for your current business objectives, you can opt-in for a less hands-on approach. Our experts also offer a guided launch option with a fixed number of sessions. The goal is to get you up and running with the channel as quickly and smoothly as possible. 

With our years of industry expertise and best practices, you can maximize the return on your marketing and customer experience investments while providing superior customer experience.
