When a customer enters a traditional storefront, a salesperson is ready to greet them and convince them to complete a purchase. In many cases, this level of personal service can help persuade customers to buy more. But what about online shopping?
These days, e-commerce businesses typically leverage marketing tactics like social media posts and emails to ensure consumers know about their products. However, this one-way marketing strategy can only get your business so far.
Times are changing, and e-commerce stores need tools to connect directly with their customers using interactive, two-way marketing communications. Fortunately, the perfect platform for this already exists in the popular messenger service WhatsApp. But how can you leverage this technology to create a personalized shopping experience for your customers?
