Sending WhatsApp Marketing campaigns
Campaign it’s a feature that allows you to easily send a message on WhatsApp to many customers simultaneously. With just a few clicks, you can create a visually appealing message to reach the intended recipients. You don’t need to install any additional tool or app - you’ll do all of it in the LiveChat dashboard.

Why should you use the Campaigns?
One word: effectiveness.
People get LOTS of marketing emails every day. They rarely even open them, not to mention click the links and buttons inside. According to ConstantContact*, in 2023, the average open rate of a marketing email is 34,46%, and the average click rate is only 1,33%!
Now let’s look at some WhatsApp statistics:
98% of messages sent through WhatsApp are opened and read. (Source: Mailchimp)
25 x On average, users open their WhatsApp 23-25 times a day. (Source: Mailchimp)
38 minutes daily is the average time active WhatsApp users spend with this app (Source: leadmonk)
This difference is HUGE! People are used to reading WhatsApp messages as they think about that app as a channel for talking to friends & family. That’s why it’s easier to reach them and catch their interest.
Because of that, with LiveChat’s WhatsApp Campaigns, you can easily:
Boost your sales
Make the customer experience even better
Outsmart the competition by using a new channel to promote your products or services
Stop sending marketing mailings - your customers get dozens of them daily and rarely even open them. Instead, use WhatsApp to unlock fantastic business opportunities.
