 Owned audience pool based on WhatsApp personal account matrix

Driving traffic to the owned audience pool based on the WhatsApp personal account matrix mainly involves two aspects:

One is a channel for social traffic.

That’s where the traffic comes from.

One is a diversion bridge for traffic entering the WhatsAppowned audience pool.

Traffic should be diverted to the entire personal account matrix rather than concentrated on a certain operational customer service account.

◆ Social traffic channels

Social traffic drainage methods can be divided into large platforms such as Facebook/Google/Tiktok, bulk messaging traffic on the WhatsApp social network, social media platforms such as Facebook/Instagram/Tiktok, and offline existing traffic.

Ø Facebook/Google/Tiktok platform advertising

Platform advertising is currently the most preferred way to attract traffic, especially platforms such as Facebook, Google, and Tiktok, which have a large number of users and can also be targeted and selected, which helps to acquire a large number of initial users.

The disadvantage is that the cost of bidding advertising will be relatively high, and as the number of users increases, the unit delivery cost will also increase.

Ø WhatsApp social network bulk messaging traffic

The WhatsApp social network is also currently a blue ocean of traffic, especially since strangers and friends on WhatsApp can send messages directly. The advertising reach effect is similar but better than SMS marketing, which opens up a broad space for advertising marketing.

Advertisers can send brand marketing messages in batches on the WhatsApp platform to existing users on the platform. Based on WhatsApp’s real-time online and real-time reachability features, marketing messages can 100% reach the target users, which has the effect of awakening old members.

The effect of WhatsApp marketing is ten times better than SMS marketing. Each message can be directly displayed at the top of the user's information list. At the same time, there is a conspicuous unread mark to remind users to read. The opening of WhatsApp messages depends on the content, user wishes and platform status.

Ø Facebook/Instagram/Tiktok social media platforms to attract traffic

In addition to placing ads on the platform to attract traffic, social media platforms such as Facebook can also achieve the purpose of attracting traffic through social media marketing, which includes two aspects:


One is to build a page account matrix for social media marketing, continue to carry out content marketing to attract fans to pay attention to the brand, and then divert the traffic to the owned audience pool of WhatsApp or Messenger (it is recommended to use WhatsApp to manage the owned channel)

One is to build a batch personal account matrix, which is a KOC account that expands the breadth of social media marketing and can effectively attract social media fans and accumulate them into the owned audience pool of the personal account matrix.

Ø The brand has existing traffic

Some brands have already built their own user channels overseas, such as stores and websites. This basic traffic can provide accurate seed users and social distribution members for the WhatsAppowned audience pool and operating businesses.

In addition, if there is cooperation traffic from KOL, import it into the WhatsAppowned audience pool, and then design a social fission method to integrate the KOL's fission communication ability and willingness into the social fission system, which will lead to better new user traffic.

 ◆ WhatsApp offloading bridge

The owned audience pool built by WhatsApp's personal account matrix treats each personal account as a business unit and is the core bridge connecting customers for communication and interaction. Under normal circumstances, account operators are required to actively communicate with customers on a regular basis.

When we divert traffic, we cannot just equate the personal account business unit with the customer service account and inject large traffic into a single customer service account. Instead, we must divert the traffic to multiple different personal accounts according to weight, divert traffic to each personal account business unit, and inject a large number of fans.

Ø WhatsApp link to add friends

Designing a WhatsApp link to add a friend's URL makes it convenient for users to click on the URL to Deeplink directly to WhatsApp, and at the same time directly enter text in the input box, reducing the user's operational thinking and decision-making, and quickly interacting with our operation customer service.
