Did you know…?

Whatsapp has created a separate app called “Whatsapp Business” specifically for small businesses to help optimise their customer service offering. Whatsapp for business has many unique features, which has many benefits for you and your business.

Deliver professional customer service: With a Whatsapp business number, you’ll get the professional look that customers trust. Build your professional image with business profiles detailing names, addresses, contact details, business hours and website links. 

Maintain your privacy: You’ll never have to give your personal mobile phone number to clients again! Receive business messages on the “Whatsapp for Business” app, and personal messages on your normal “Whatsapp” app. Maintain your work/life balance and set automated responses to calls/ messages so that customers still receive prompt responses outside of your working hours.

Set up your own Whatsapp store: With Whatsapp for Business, you’ll have access to 2 billion users and be able to setup your own business profile, display your catalogue of products and take orders directly through Whatsapp messenger.

Maintain Your Work/Life Balance

Many people mistakenly use their personal number on the “Whatsapp Business” app meaning they have to give out their personal number to customers and to the public. This can result in privacy issues, increased vulnerability to phishing scams, blurring of personal and professional boundaries, or simply an overload of communication for you as a business owner. With our easy-to-use Whatsapp business number generation service, Business Numbers Direct eliminates the need for multiple devices and is here to help your business succeed.

1 Phone – 1 Sim – 2 Numbers
