Red Flags in Whatsapp Marketing

• Don’t spam your customers: Spamming your customers is not the ideal way of advertising your products as it can frustrate them. You should create a frequency by which you should abide. 
• Irrelevant promotion: Relevancy should always be prioritized while sending out messages. For example, if you have a fashion store for both men and women, thus you should categorize them into two different broadcast lists and then send a product catalog accordingly. This will ensure that your customers get relevant product info so that they can make a purchase and increase your sales.
• Not using personal customer data: One of the major mistake done by businesses is that they don’t use personalized information while messaging their clients.  80% of clients are more likely to purchase from a brand that sends personalized messages. Thus, you should ensure that personal data is used to its full potential.
