#01 Add friendsAdd friendsAdd friends
Successfully establishing interactive relationships with customers is the foundation of all marketing. To add WhatsApp friends, one is active and the other is passive. No matter which method is used, you need to set up the account information first and deepen the customer's impression. Currently, WhatsApp supports a variety of interaction methods for adding friends: QR code, link to add friends, entering account number to add friends, etc. No matter which one it is, it is as convenient as adding WeChat to interact and communicate with customers in real time.
There are also tricks to adding friends: if it is a B2B or B2 big C business, the number of customers will not be too many in a short period of time. If it is a B2C business, adding too much customer data in a short period of time will easily lead to account suspension.

#02 Follow official news restrictions
WhatsApp has set a series of message limits that clearly define the maximum number of business conversations a business can initiate in a 24-hour period. Brands typically start with a lower messaging limit and go through a brief "warm-up period" so that WhatsApp can assess their sending reputation before being allowed to send messages at full volume.
During the initial warm-up period, brands can gradually increase their sending levels from the 1,000 message limit to 10,000, 100,000, etc. If you want to increase the message sending limit, WhatsApp requires companies to follow specific rules, such as opening a corporate API for sending, or you can start by increasing the number of accounts and reducing the marketing weight of each account.
Compared with the various limitations of Business API, for many companies, batch marketing and reach through personal accounts have become the first choice.
#03 Focus on cultivating long-term relationships with customers
Similar to what brands have learned with SMS marketing, email marketing, and in-app and web messaging, WhatsApp marketing works best when integrated into a broader multi-channel customer engagement strategy and used in conjunction with other effective channels to cultivate long-term relationships.
First, enterprises can use WhatsApp as a platform for real-time and fragmented communication with customers, making interaction more efficient. At key moments such as transaction completion and order placement, email marketing is used to confirm order details.
Second, long-term relationships are more beneficial to customer transaction conversion and recommendation. Carrying out overseas owned-channel marketing on WhatsApp-like platforms is also an important means for enterprises to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and enhance the value of a single customer.
#04 Grasp the personalized needs of customers
When marketers personalize WhatsApp marketing campaigns for users, maximizing relevance at every stage of the customer journey, they are more likely to achieve better results. Marketers should ensure their messaging reflects customer preferences, behaviors and cross-channel interactions.
Under such circumstances, combining customer portraits, tags, follow-up records, sources and other information can help companies grasp customer needs and progress in a timely manner during the WhatsApp marketing process, and seize business opportunities more accurately.
#05 About account ban
Account is the basis of everything, but it is also the difficulty. For enterprises, the purpose of marketing interaction is too obvious and can easily lead to account losses. Therefore, efficient registration, account warming, and unblocking are urgent needs of enterprises.
Ban reminder from WhatsApp official: If we believe that an account's activities violate our Terms of Service, such as spam, fraud, or pose a risk to the security of WhatsApp users, we will ban the account. We recommend that you carefully read the "Accepted Use of the Service" section of the Terms of Service to understand the proper use of WhatsApp and what behaviors violate our Terms of Service. If you believe your account has been blocked in error, you can click "Request Review" within the app and we will investigate your situation.
Every account is banned for a reason, and the account bans of many global expansion cross-border people come from excessive marketing. The account has an initial life value when it is registered. Various marketing activities will affect the account life value. If you want the life of each account to be longer and more stable, companies need to reduce the marketing weight of each account. While ensuring marketing effectiveness, the solution is to prepare multiple accounts to divert marketing.
Here, SocialEpoch also provides a variety of products and account services to help everyone improve the effect of account registration and launch WS marketing as soon as possible.
