1 Before: Low engagement with generic messages
2 After: Targeted campaigns based on customer preferences
3 Before: High churn rates due to lack of follow-up
4 After: Improved retention through timely follow-ups and personalized offers

Calculating ROI for WhatsApp Marketing Campaigns

To assess the effectiveness of your WhatsApp marketing campaigns, consider the following framework for calculating ROI:
