Anybodycanbake, an online baking academy, struggled with manual processes for engaging leads, resulting in delayed responses and missed conversion opportunities. As WhatsApp was a preferred communication tool for their audience, the team sought to integrate it into a marketing automation system to drive enrollments efficiently while maintaining a personal touch presenting the importance of WhatsApp marketing.
Automating WhatsApp marketing tasks improves efficiency as a primary communication channel helps nurture leads and convert them into paying customers. Personalizing interactions enhances user experience and boosts engagement.
Engaging with leads individually on WhatsApp consumed significant time and resources and promoting WhatsApp marketing.
Generic and delayed responses on WhatsApp led to lower lead engagement.
The absence of an automated system made it difficult to handle multiple leads effectively, especially during promotions or course launches.
Limited visibility into engagement metrics for WhatsApp communications hindered campaign optimization.
A WhatsApp marketing automation strategy was implemented to simplify lead nurturing, enhance personalization, and streamline communication.
WhatsApp opt-in forms were integrated on the website and landing pages to collect user details and preferences. Leads were segmented based on course interests, location, and buying intent to send tailored messages.
Automated workflows were designed to send personalized messages for new course launches, reminders, and follow-ups. Pre-built templates were used for quick responses to FAQs, pricing inquiries, and enrollment processes.
User actions like course page visits or incomplete enrollments were monitored to trigger behavior-based WhatsApp marketing messages, such as abandoned cart reminders. Multimedia content like baking tips, short videos, and success stories was shared to keep the audience engaged.
A WhatsApp chatbot was deployed for instant responses to common queries, ensuring 24/7 availability. Complex queries were directed to human representatives for a seamless customer experience.
