What is Broadcast Messaging?
Broadcast messaging sends the same message to multiple recipients at once. Think of it as a one-to-many message rather than one-to-one. On WhatsApp Business, for example, you can send a promotion or update to your customer list. It's powerful but must be used carefully to avoid feeling like spam.
Why Broadcast Messaging Matters
- Reach many customers with important updates efficiently
- Send promotions or announcements at scale
- More personal than mass email
- Higher open rates than traditional marketing channels
Real-World Examples
Sending a sale announcement to your WhatsApp customer list
Alerting customers about store closure for a holiday
