Are you feeling stuck growing your eCommerce business?
Advertisements costs are at a all time high. Managing shipping companies and reducing the
cancellations and RTO is a nightmare. In the absence of multiple repeat purchases from your
existing customers, turning profitable is nearly impossible. You are not alone.

The are 2 core problems here

You don't have much control over what happens once the potential customers clicks the Ad
Absence of an efficient communication channel that gets higher reach & conversion

To gain control you need to OWN your potential customer's data. Once you have it, you can
communicate and persuade them to buy in a much more efficient manner. This is the exact
problem 'WhatsApp For Business' is solving for eCommerce businesses.

Through my company Alpha Marketer, I’ve helped hundreds of brands like yours build successful
conversational marketing campaigns that reduce the cost per acquisition, improve retention and
lifetime value (LTV).

The truth is, it’s not that hard – if you work on the right conversational marketing playbooks. This
checklist is going to help you run profitable campaigns. The more items you check off this list,
the faster your eCommerce business is going to grow and the stronger it’s going to be.

By the time you check off everything on this list, you’ll have:

Huge audience list


Consistent revenue
Customers who love your brand
A profitable brand you are proud of

Some of our eCommerce clients have already seen multifold returns out of their investment in
WhatsApp Conversational Marketing. This checklist will work for you, too!

Cheering you on,

Brands We Helped Get Results With Conversational Marketing


#1 Conversational Sales Powered by 24X7 Live Chat
Most websites have a "Web based live chat" feature on their website to assist potential
customers with their queries. The challenge with them is, if the potential customer goes offline
you can't follow-up and close the conversation. With WhatsApp Chat on your website, you can
follow-up with your potential customers anytime since their phone number is automatically
captured after the initial interaction. Why have a web chat, when you can WhatsApp?

WhatsApp Chat Widget on Website

Easy Interface for Your Team to Answer Chat Queries

"Our products by nature get numerous customization requests from


customers. More than 60% of our orders are generated via WhatsApp.
The team inbox feature allowed us to effectively intercept our
customers, drive them into the right experience, and easily fulfill their
requests using WhatsApp" - Hardik Kedia, Founder of Neon Attack

#2 List Products, Sell and Collect Payments Via WhatsApp


WhatsApp Commerce is definitely the future for a lot of businesses out there. Same like how you
have a catalog of products on a Shopify store, you can list products on your WhatsApp business
account, allow customers to add products to cart and make payments effortlessly via WhatsApp
Pay or UPI. How about you? Fancy a WhatsApp Store for your brand?

#3 Abandoned Cart Messages That Sell

Approximately 70% of people who visit the checkout page, end up changing their mind and
abandon the shopping cart. Following up those potential customers vial email and SMS is
already popular (mostly in the western world) but in Asian and Latin American countries where
WhatsApp is the primary medium of communication, why not follow up on WhatsApp?

Auric

"The abandoned cart playbook alone is a gamechanger. After


implementing this strategy, we effortlessly recovered 38% of carts via
WhatsApp in a matter of days." - Shivendar Chandel, Founder of O4C

#4 Order Confirmation Messages That Sell


Your customers pay most attention to the order confirmation message, because its the first
message they receive after making the payment. Why not turn this attention into a sales
opportunity? That's now possible with WhatsApp.

#5 Verify Cash-on-Delivery Orders
eCommerce businesses hate Cash-on-Delivery orders. Since people are not paying any money
upfront there is a high chance of them casually entering their delivery information. Incomplete
and incorrect information can lead to cancellation and lot of money will be lost in organizing
returns (RTO). To avoid this, brands can use WhatsApp to verify the cash on delivery orders
(similar to OTP verification).

Your customers get anxious till they receive the product they ordered from your store. Why not
send shipping notifications via WhatsApp? With multimedia features, you can send videos and
images to educate about the product. With the "Clickable button" feature you can also help
them navigate to the "Order Tracking" page.

used often but it has big impact on post purchase experience of the customer. Since WhatsApp
supports video, image and audio formats, communication is much more effective.

existing customers?

#11 Permission Broadcast Campaigns That Sell
Why not start a conversation with your customers, ask them what they want to buy and then offer
them exactly what they want? That's what "Permission Broadcast" can do. It's a unique feature of
WhatsApp Business since its allows you do design the information flow based on the user
choice. This is not possible with email and SMS.

"Using the WhatsApp broadcasting playbook, we ran a campaign on


the occasion of Women's day. We got 5x returns on ad spend
using WhatsApp within 6 days. Now, planning to double down on this
strategy."- Vidit Dedhia, Founder of LocknLock
#12 Segmentation Messages That Create Desire
Most customers go cold after they make their first purchase, that's a common problem
eCommerce businesses face. Segmentation messages help to bring back cold customers by
creating a desire for the product. Smart businesses start a conversation, create desire, make
irresistible offers and encourage customers to buy again and again.

collect email when you can collect phone numbers? And that too without having to fill any form
by the potential customer. This is lead generation on steroids. With just 2 taps the phone number
will be yours.

product that can sell better with assistance from a sales team, then you can send traffic from Ad
platforms like Facebook and Google to a "Conversational landing page".

People can easily start a conversation easily from the landing page, chat with experts and
complete the payment seamlessly right within WhatsApp. Consultative selling is "Hot" among
high ticket products like furniture, jewelry and travel related products.

Facebook has a unique "Ad Campaign Type" called "Click-to-WhatsApp" chat Ad. Using this
feature you can easily target the right audience, show your Ad and allow them start a chat
conversation right after they click on the Ad. Isn't that one of the fastest ways to buy potential
