Why WhatsApp is the most important channel for your business

Email open rates sit at 20-25%. WhatsApp messages are opened over 90% of the time, usually within minutes. That is not a small difference. It is a paradigm shift in customer communication.

Today customers expect to talk to companies as easily as they chat with friends. WhatsApp is the app they already use every day. Being present there gives you a decisive competitive advantage.
