Your customers are all over the Internet, engaging with their loved ones and favorite brands across multiple platforms and touchpoints. From emails to social media to messaging apps, your customer jumps around. 

Therein lies both the challenge and opportunity conversational marketers have before them. The challenge: Maintaining a consistently personalized experience across platforms. The opportunity: Engaging customers in a richer, multi-faceted conversation that fosters greater loyalty.

9. Sync WhatsApp with your other marketing channels

A disjointed brand experience can be jarring for users. Imagine receiving a promotional email about a sale, but when you inquire on WhatsApp, the chatbot or support rep doesn’t know about it. Sync your marketing efforts across channels, and your customers will receive a more flawless customer experience.

Integrating WhatsApp with your CRM system, for instance, ensures any user data collected on one platform is instantly available on the other. Additionally, bridging all of your marketing efforts across email, social media, and your website allows for cross-channel promotions. You can even connect WhatsApp to your customer support helpdesk, Salesforce, and more for a more unified experience.

For example, a user who visits your website by clicking a link sent through WhatsApp can receive an email reminder to keep shopping, or vice versa. By syncing WhatsApp, you have the chance to connect with most customers on a channel they already love and use with the most up-to-date information.

10. Implement multimedia elements effectively

WhatsApp is a lively platform. People are used to messaging casually, sending images, GIFs, videos and emojis. Yes, text messages still have their place, but personalizing your messages with multimedia elements adds depth and richness, enhancing their impact. It also makes your marketing more engaging and memorable. 

So send a user a personalized video greeting on their birthday or anniversary. Or, if a user recently browsed a particular category on your website, drop them a GIF or image highlighting a new arrival in that category so they’re enticed to learn more.

Remember, people process visuals 60,000 times faster than text. By integrating multimedia into your personalized WhatsApp marketing strategy, you're not just sending messages; you're crafting experiences.
