Importance of WhatsApp Bulk messaging for businesses in 2023:

In 2023, WhatsApp is dominating the message app market with more active users than any other messaging app worldwide. So, companies will be at a loss if they ignore this powerful platform for connecting with their customers. WhatsApp is a user-friendly app with high engagement rates which makes it a perfect tool of advertisement for companies. One key benefit of WhatsApp bulk messaging is that it allows tailored messages, enabling businesses to approach their customers according to their preferences and or behavior. With the ability to provide efficient customer service by addressing their queries promptly, WhatsApp is fostering a relationship of trust and reliability with its customers.

WhatsApp Broadcasting feature:

WhatsApp has its own broadcasting feature, you can send messages or media files by choosing the contacts and it will deliver to all the recipients separately. This feature is useful for sending greetings, information, and announcements to a large number of people without creating a group chat. But this WhatsApp feature has some limitations as follows;

Recipients can’t interact with each other within the broadcast, it’s a one-way communication between the recipient and the sender only.
WhatsApp broadcasting feature has a limit of recipients per broadcast, as of my last update, it was limited to 256 recipients at once.
All messages in the broadcast are identical in a broadcast you cannot create personalized messages for individual recipients.
The broadcast cannot override any person’s privacy settings, if someone does not have your number saved or doesn’t want to receive a broadcast, they won’t.

Due to these limitations WhatsApp's broadcast feature limits the option of bulk messaging for business purposes.

WhatsApp Business API: Latest features Update:

One of the key benefits of WhatsApp is its ability to integrate with third-party apps. Businesses can use the data they collect on WhatsApp to connect with customers from broader perspectives.
WhatsApp Business API has a feature for companies to verify their accounts, which includes the coveted green tick. With this additional feature, companies build trust among their customers as a reliable and trustworthy brand to interact with.
WhatsApp Business API can use their own CRM systems or WhatsApp business solution provider to manage their WhatsApp communications and don’t need a separate App or interface.
Large businesses which receive a high volume of customer inquiries need multi-agent access to customer support which WhatsApp business API allows to their users. So, it helps to improve the response time.

WhatsApp commerce is a rising trend in e-commerce. This allows businesses to sell products directly to their customers while using the new medium of WhatsApp catalogs, automated order management, direct purchases, and customer support.
