WhatsApp sees roughly 98% open rates and 45–60% click-through — far above email. Automating broadcasts, cart recovery, and support typically lifts marketing ROI 10–30%. Start with one high-intent flow, keep the writing human, and always honour opt-outs.
Most businesses pour budget into email and paid ads while the highest-converting channel sits untouched in every customer's pocket. The gap isn't a secret any more, but it's still expensive.

It comes down to attention. People open it, read it, and — critically — reply.
Email is a billboard people drive past. WhatsApp is a conversation at the counter. That's the whole reason it converts.
