Are your engagement rates dropping?
With email marketing averaging 39.7% open rates and barely 1% click-through rates, it’s no surprise businesses are searching for more impactful ways to connect with users.
If you want to reach a wider audience, boost open rates, and significantly improve engagement, WhatsApp marketing—and especially WhatsApp Flows—may be the solution you’re looking for.
WhatsApp has already become a preferred communication channel for businesses thanks to its simplicity, massive user base, and extremely high open rates. But the new WhatsApp Flows feature takes this to an entirely new level. Designed for seamless, interactive, task-driven experiences, Flows transform how businesses engage with customers.
In this article, we’ll explore what WhatsApp Flows are, how they work, and the real-world benefits and use cases that can elevate your business operations.
WhatsApp Flows is a powerful feature introduced by the WhatsApp Business Platform that enables businesses to design native, structured, and interactive workflows right inside WhatsApp.
