Strategies to use AiSensy to drive 7x Sales Growth this Diwali🔥

1. Broadcast Promotional Offers & Discounts to UNLIMITED Users

Instead of spending tons of money acquiring new users by running Google Ad Campaigns & increasing your Cost per Conversion vastly, you can target your already existing user base to upsell your products on WhatsApp. 

Remember when we said that a user's buying capacity increases 5x during festivals like Diwali? Well, you can capitalize on that! 😉

On WhatsApp, you can Drive 3x more sales & business growth by sending promotional offers & discounts on WhatsApp to UNLIMITED users in one go. You can send these messages only to users who've opted-in for receiving WhatsApp notifications from your business. 

WhatsApp allows you to send personalized festive wishes + discount offers, promotions, product launch messages, season-end-sale & much more to boost your business’ sales & conversions. 

Copy paste these promotional WhatsApp messages to skyrocket your sales this Diwali season:

Everyone loves a good deal. And everyone really loves an exclusive deal. Be sure to share exclusive deals and promotions with your WhatsApp subscribers to make them feel special.

Limited-time offers create a sense of urgency and boost conversions, so this is definitely one avenue you do not want to miss out on.

3. Provide end-to-end Shopping experience on WhatsApp


Imagine this: A user lands on your WhatsApp, scrolls through your products & services via Catalogues, adds the one they wish to purchase in their cart and the last step - make the payment directly within WhatsApp. Once the payment is completed, the user receives an order confirmation message on WhatsApp as well as receives updates till the order reaches their hands.

Yes, you can now enable this end-to-end shopping experience on WhatsApp with AiSensy. Just like how our client HRX by EatFit is doing (refer to the video above)

You can connect your catalogues in just 10 minutes and enable WhatsApp Pay seamlessly to provide this experience right on WhatsApp. 

4. Automate Notifications for Order Confirmed, Delivery Updates, COD Confirmation

AiSensy allows you to automate notifications for multiple events like order, shipping, delivery, abandoned carts & more to users by integrating 3rd party CRMs, software & Ecommerce platforms. 

Basically, you can set up automated notifications that will be sent to a user's WhatsApp whenever any event gets trigerred. E.g. order confirmation notifications / delivery updates.

Now, whenever a user buys a product they will receive a confirmation on WhatsApp for the same. Similarly, if they add an item to their cart & drop off from the checkout page, they'll receive an Abandoned Cart notification reminding them to complete their purchase.

AiSensy integrates with all major CRMs, software & Ecommerce platforms such as HubSpot, Shopify, WooCommerce, Pabbly, OpenCart & more. 

Automated notifications on WhatsApp are 5x better than that sent via Emails & SMS & will help personalize your communication with customers.

Simply connect your CRM with AiSensy & get started!

7. Retarget users who are more likely to convert

WhatsApp Retargeting is one of the best strategies to drive more sales this Diwali. Imagine retargeting a set of users who are far more likely to convert than others.

Yes, you can now do it with smart Campaigns manager through AiSensy only.

WhatsApp Retargeting Campaigns allow you to retarget a particular set of users by sending them a WhatsApp Broadcast Campaign.

So, let's say you wish to Broadcast a message on Diwali to those who have:

  • Read your WhatsApp Broadcast Campaigns
  • Haven't read your Broadcast Campaign
  • Read and Responded to your Broadcast
