- How much does WhatsApp marketing cost in Bangladesh?
- WhatsApp marketing costs include agency fees, platform costs, and conversation fees. Setup projects start at BDT 1L. Growth retainers start at BDT 75k/month. Scale retainers start at BDT 1.5L/month. Enterprise programs start at BDT 3L+/month. Platform costs (WhatsApp BSP fees) typically range BDT 5k-30k/month depending on scale. Conversation fees (paid to WhatsApp via BSP) vary by message type and volume.
- What's the difference between WhatsApp Business app and WhatsApp Business API?
- WhatsApp Business app is a free smartphone app suitable for SMB brands handling up to a few hundred conversations monthly. WhatsApp Business API is enterprise-grade infrastructure supporting automation, CRM integration, multi-agent service, broadcast marketing, and scale. App suits SMB simplicity; API enables serious marketing operations.
- How do we get the WhatsApp green tick (verified badge)?
- WhatsApp verification (green tick) requires Meta business verification, brand notability documentation, and meeting WhatsApp's verification criteria. Not all businesses qualify — notability requirements are similar to Wikipedia's standards. We handle the application process for qualifying brands, though final verification decisions rest with Meta.
- Can we send promotional broadcasts through WhatsApp?
- Yes, within WhatsApp's strict policy framework. Broadcasts require pre-approved message templates, proper opt-in from recipients, frequency controls, and compliance with content guidelines. We build compliant broadcast programs avoiding the policy violations that destroy most BD brands' WhatsApp marketing attempts.
- What are message templates and why do they require approval?
- Message templates are pre-approved formats for business-initiated messages to customers (notifications, marketing, support). WhatsApp requires template approval to prevent spam and protect user experience. We handle template development and submission, optimizing for approval probability and conversion performance.
- How does Click-to-WhatsApp advertising work?
- Click-to-WhatsApp ads on Facebook, Instagram, and Google direct users into WhatsApp conversations instead of landing pages. Users click the ad, WhatsApp opens with a pre-filled message to your business, and conversations begin. Click-to-WhatsApp typically converts 3-5x better than equivalent landing page campaigns for many BD use cases.
- Can we integrate WhatsApp with our CRM?
- Yes. We integrate WhatsApp with HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, Pipedrive, and most major CRMs. Conversations flow into customer records, contacts get tagged with WhatsApp source attribution, deals track from initial message to closed revenue, and automated triggers fire based on conversation events.
- Can WhatsApp marketing work for B2B brands?
- Yes. While many associate WhatsApp with B2C, B2B WhatsApp marketing is increasingly powerful — particularly for SaaS, professional services, and consulting brands. Use cases include lead qualification, demo scheduling, customer onboarding, account management, and customer support. B2B WhatsApp typically focuses on quality conversations rather than volume.
- Can we accept payments through WhatsApp in Bangladesh?
- Yes. We integrate bKash, Nagad, Rocket, SSLCommerz, and major payment gateways within WhatsApp commerce flows — enabling end-to-end purchasing without leaving WhatsApp. Particularly powerful for D2C brands, restaurants, services, and any business where conversational commerce matches customer preference.
- How do you handle WhatsApp marketing in Bangla?
- We have specialist Bangla conversation designers creating WhatsApp flows with proper cultural craft, native language patterns, and conversion psychology adapted for Bangladeshi audiences. Bangla WhatsApp marketing typically dramatically outperforms English for B2C BD audiences who genuinely prefer their native language.
- How do you measure WhatsApp marketing success?
- We track conversation volume, response times, conversion rates from conversation to action, customer satisfaction scores, agent performance, Click-to-WhatsApp campaign ROAS, conversation-to-revenue attribution, and operational efficiency gains. Every report ties WhatsApp marketing to business outcomes — not just message volume.
- What's the difference between a chatbot and a human agent?
- Chatbots handle automated conversations — FAQs, qualification questions, routine information delivery, appointment booking, order status. Human agents handle complex queries, sales conversations, complaints requiring empathy, and high-value customer relationships. Well-designed WhatsApp programs combine both — bots handling volume, humans handling complexity.
- Can WhatsApp marketing replace email marketing?
- Not replace — complement. Email remains powerful for long-form content, formal communications, and certain customer segments. WhatsApp excels at conversational engagement, time-sensitive communications, and Bangladeshi audiences preferring messaging over email. The strongest programs use both channels for different purposes.
- How long does WhatsApp setup and launch take?
- WhatsApp Business app setup takes 1-2 weeks. WhatsApp Business API setup with proper automation typically takes 4-6 weeks (including business verification, template approval, integration setup, and team training). Click-to-WhatsApp campaigns can launch within days once WhatsApp infrastructure is in place.
