It is not only in the run-up to Christmas that many conventional marketing tools are becoming less and less effective. For example, email newsletters — the direct counterpart of the WhatsApp newsletter — are read by only around 18% of all recipients. A large part of your advertising campaign would therefore fizzle out. In contrast, you can expect a newsletter sent via WhatsApp Business to open a newsletter of over 90%. During the contemplative period before Christmas, it is also important to address customers individually and personally. This awakens emotions and strengthens customer loyalty in the long term. WhatsApp is the perfect advertising tool for this. With a WhatsApp newsletter campaign, you can reach your customers where they also receive Christmas greetings from friends and relatives. Customers can respond to your messages at a low threshold and thus start a conversation with them or your employees.
