Benefits of WhatsApp-BasedChatbots during COVID

The world around us has fundamentally changed since the start of 2020. Consumers’ habits have been influenced by the sudden social distancing situation. This has led to the increased popularity of going online - for anything and everything. In fact, 49% more consumers now shop online as compared to pre-COVID-19 times.

To reach their consumers, businesses are now trying to adapt to the new normality driven by COVID-19. This means that you need to reshape your business strategy according to e-commerce models. So, when developing a new business approach, you need to deliver resilience into operations with scalability and flexibility.

The foremost thing to consider here, therefore, is customer service. It is the most crucial aspect of any business; one in three people vote customer service as the most important aspect of any business. However, as there is no physical contact, so how can we earn the trust of new consumers, retain old buyers, and grow our business? The solution is simple: Conversational Chatbots.

What is a Conversational Chatbot?

Simply put, a chatbot is a virtual assistant that can engage with your customers 24/7. Thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), these bots offer the perfect human interaction experience while providing instant responses alongside.

A conversational chatbot is a great tool but when interacting with customers, we have to figure  out a way of reaching them without forcing them out of their comfort zones. The best way could  be to build communication via platforms that are already popular.

Now when we talk about communication, the first name that pops into mind is 'WhatsApp' and  why wouldn't it? There are like 1.6 billion monthly users on WhatsApp. This means your consumer  is already familiar with WhatsApp. This is good news because instead of having to establish  another platform for conversation, your business can join them right on WhatsApp.

And this is exactly where Purplegrids can help. We have actually built an AI chatbot that works  on WhatsApp to offer your consumers instant response with excellent communication. We will  talk about our product in detail, but first, let’s understand why WhatsApp is the right platform for  you.

Why WhatsApp is the Best Communication Platform?

As Jan Koum, a Ukrainian American billionaire entrepreneur and computer programmer says, WhatsApp is like oxygen in some countries”. 12 years ago, this software was introduced as a  one-to-one chat app service.  

Back then, the only biggest feature was location sharing. But people loved it, and thus WhatsApp grew fast - to the point that it hit the first 1.5 billion messages in just 2 years! Today, it is the most  popular chat application with several amazing features such as WhatsApp Business, Group  Calling, PiP mode, etc.

Customer Base in Asian Markets

The customer base for WhatsApp is huge, especially in the Asian markets. Asia alone represents  over 2.5 billion WhatsApp users. People are glued to WhatsApp all day long, and with the  pandemic around, they are spending 20% more time on WhatsApp! Therefore, connecting a  WhatsApp-based chatbot means directly connecting to your consumers.

All these stats clearly indicate one fact: your business will thrive with a WhatsApp Chatbot.
