Introducing WhatsApp Marketing with Zoho Marketing Automation

Introducing WhatsApp Marketing with Zoho Marketing Automation

Dear Marketers,

In the world of marketing, personalizing engagements with customers is often exhaustive but—thanks to WhatsApp—not exactly mysterious. WhatsApp has evolved from a simple messaging platform to a sophisticated tool for sending out marketing campaigns. Why not use it to reach your audience? To do so, it also helps to have a comprehensive marketing tool.
 



On that note, we're delighted to announce that Zoho Marketing Automation now integrates with WhatsApp and offers dedicated features. The all-new WhatsApp Integration will be available instantly for Zoho Marketing Automation 2.0 users.

Equipped with the vision of simplifying marketing, Zoho Marketing Automation provides the tools marketers need to optimize their marketing strategies.



What can marketers expect from Zoho Marketing Automation's WhatsApp integration?

Our platform ensures a hassle-free transition by enabling you to integrate your WhatsApp Business account effortlessly and run endless WhatsApp promotional campaigns.


Choose from a library of templates

Craft messages on your own or choose from a dedicated library of messaging templates. You can easily design and send templates for quick review. Users can personalize their messaging with emojis, images, videos, CTAs, and documents to make it interactive. And just like any other campaign, you can schedule it for optimal open rates.

 

Intuitive WhatsApp Campaign Builder

Empower your outreach endeavors with intuitive WhatsApp campaign builder. Our user-friendly interface simplifies the campaign creation process, enabling you to design impactful messages without effort.

 

Flexibility to choose from multiple registered phone numbers

Brands can seamlessly broadcast messages and choose between multiple WhatsApp numbers based on their campaign performance. This way you can deliver your messages to multiple lists with multiple phone numbers.


Target your audience with segments and smart filters.

You can also segment your audience based on their behavior across WhatsApp campaigns, or implement smart filters to target specific demographics. You can run campaigns to carefully curated lists, segments, tags and even custom groups.

 

Get detailed campaign analytics

With our in-depth analytics, you'll gain a holistic view of your WhatsApp campaign performance, including engagement metrics, conversion rates, and audience behavior patterns. With access to this data, you can refine your strategies, optimize targeting, and achieve greater campaign effectiveness.


Use role-based permissions for enhanced security

Customize permissions based on roles to ensure that each user has the right level of access they need to carry out their responsibilities. With fine control over data and functionality, you can maintain data integrity and protect sensitive information effectively.



Pricing Model

WhatsApp pricing will be an add-on pricing model similar to SMS pricing and will be available by default on all our pricing plans. We'll follow a pay-as-you-go model for WhatsApp marketing and users can send campaigns whenever they need without any expiry. With WhatsApp chat rates based on conversations initiated through business and users have to pay for what they use. Fees per conversation vary by country, offering an adaptable pricing solution.

Here's the pricing page link.

Note: WhatsApp charges for conversations and not individual messages. Conversations are 24-hour message threads between you and your customers. Conversations are opened and charged when messages you send to your users are delivered.

How we add value in WhatsApp Marketing?  


Native integration with WhatsApp - As Zoho is a WhatsApp Business Solution Provider(BSP), businesses can connect their WhatsApp Business account and drive marketing effortlessly. It's important to note that you cannot execute WhatsApp campaigns from your personal WhatsApp account or your WhatsApp Business app from your personal mobile. Brands need an officially verified WhatsApp Business Account which is integrated to a WhatsApp Business Solution Provider such as Zoho. With Zoho as a BSP, businesses can get the verified account green tick, communicate with customers proactively, and send transactional/promotional WhatsApp messages.

No additional charges - Zoho Marketing Automation does not add any margins to the pricing Meta offers for WhatsApp and charge the same price as exactly as Meta. Businesses need to pay only for the conversations based on their interactions.

Multi-language support - We support over 71 languages for WhatsApp messaging and has default Right-to-left editors for languages like Hebrew, Arabic etc. Brands can localize their messaging based on the country they are targeting and personalize content with emojis, images, videos, documents or CTAs. 

if you have any specific requirements or queries for us, please reach out to us at support@zohomarketingautomation.com 

Happy WhatsApping!

The Zoho Marketing Automation Team
