If you’re not using instant messaging to connect with prospects and customers, you’re missing out on a tremendous channel for potential engagement and revenue. That’s because instant messaging and texting have become the primary way that people share information. What’s more:
- 53% of people say they would purchase products or avail themselves of services from companies that can be reached via instant messaging.*
- 71% of consumers surveyed by McKinsey & Company say they expect businesses to recognize them as individuals and know their interests.
The rise of messaging apps as a communication tool for both personal and business use has been a game-changer in recent years, and riding that wave is WhatsApp — one of the most popular messaging apps in the world. WhatsApp has over two billion active users, over half of whom check the app daily.
We’re proud to announce that CleverTap is now an official WhatsApp Business Service Provider (BSP), giving CleverTap customers the competitive advantage of reaching out to their users with hyper-personalized, in-the-moment WhatsApp notifications through omnichannel campaigns, all from a single platform.
