How WhatsApp Business API is the new face of lead nurturing?
WhatsApp is the most widely used and preferred channel among all today. With an open rate of over 98%, rich-media messaging, and the ability to broadcast messages to numerous candidates at once, WhatsApp Business API has the potential to boost not just your engagement but also conversion and enrollment rates. .
Meritto’s integrated solutions equip you to leverage exactly that so your educational organization can do everything that matters from capturing qualified leads from raw data to automating engagement, and facilitating one-on-one nurturing of prospective students through live chat. This integration not only empowers your engagement efforts but also optimizes your counselors’ or sales representatives’ productivity. The result? An improved student experience and maximized marketing ROI.
Enhance your brand’s credibility with a verified badge
Few businesses have official WhatsApp verification, but getting yours verified can make a huge difference. It boosts your brand’s credibility and influences prospects to choose your educational organization. Plus, even if users don’t save your number, your brand name will still appear on WhatsApp. It’s a powerful way to stand out and make a lasting impression.
