Introduction
Improve Your Business: For years, we’ve been utilizing technology to help us develop and grow our businesses. Despite the fact that many individuals and businesses have taken advantage, other individuals and corporations have yet to do so. While the foregoing is accurate, there are others who do not make use of the current technologies because they are unaware of the benefits and how to use them.
There are numerous platforms available that are geared to assist businesses. In this article, we’ll go over a few of the features of one of the most popular; WhatsApp Business app, as well as how you can use it to drive and manage your business.
Improve Your Business
WhatsApp Business
WhatsApp Business is a free app for Android and iPhone that was designed specifically for small business owners. WhatsApp Business makes it simple to communicate with customers by providing tools to automate, sort, and answer to messages rapidly. It’s also supposed to have the same look and feel as WhatsApp Messenger. From messaging to sharing images, you can use it to accomplish anything you’re used to.
Some of the features currently offered by WhatsApp Business:
- Business profile: The business profile allows you to list key information such as a company’s address, email, and website, as well as products and service catalogs, as well as business operations days and times.
- Labels help you organize and identify your chats and messages. You can organize clients into groups based on who has placed orders, who needs to be followed up with to complete their patronage, and other types of groupings that your business requires.
- To answer to customers fast, use messaging tools. This allows you to set up automatic responses for when you are unable to respond to a client right away. It may be a greeting message encouraging them to read through your catalog or visit your website for product samples while they wait for a response from your company.
