It is critical to connecting with customers at the right time for profitable customer engagement. Wishing someone a happy birthday and offering them a discount code, or informing them that an item in their cart is out of stock, can mean the difference between them converting or leaving.
However, even if you are speaking to a target audience with similar wants and needs, each customer has a unique timeline. Touchpoints must be timed differently. It is impossible to manage your teams manually.
In that case, message scheduling comes to the rescue. Yes, many businesses are already familiar with email scheduling. But are they as effective as you would like? Try to schedule WhatsApp messages with an open rate of 90% or higher.

Scheduling promotional WhatsApp broadcasts may be very useful for business owners. You can schedule promotions, sales, discounts, and other events with this functionality. When you pair this with a time when customers are more likely to spend (like around Christmas or Thanksgiving), your sales may increase significantly.
