Introduction
Today’s customers are scroll-fatigued and notification-blind. Emails get buried, SMS feels spammy, but WhatsApp has become the most direct and personal business channel with over 2.7 billion active users worldwide.
For D2C brands, WhatsApp Broadcast offers a powerful way to:
- Reach thousands of customers instantly
- Share updates, offers, and reminders
- Drive sales with interactive product messages
With The BotMode, you can automate, personalize, and scale your WhatsApp Broadcast campaigns while staying fully compliant with WhatsApp’s rules.
What is WhatsApp Broadcast?
A WhatsApp Broadcast lets businesses send a single message to multiple users at once — without creating a group.
- Customers receive it as a personal message in their inbox.
- Unlike groups, recipients cannot see each other.
- Businesses can send updates, promotions, reminders, or product recommendations.
Example: A clothing brand sends a broadcast—“New festive collection is live 🎉 Click here to shop before stocks run out!”
