WhatsApp mempunyai kadar buka mesej tertinggi berbanding semua channel pemasaran digital. Ini kerana pengguna membuka WhatsApp purata 23 kali sehari.
Kos WhatsApp Business API bermula dari RM0.70-RM1.50 per mesej bergantung kepada negara. Untuk kempen 1,000 mesej, kos sekitar RM700-RM1,500. Dengan conversion rate 5-10%, ini bermakna 50-100 leads baru — jauh lebih berbaloi berbanding iklan digital tradisional.
