Campaign types that work for e-commerce
Flash sale & limited-time offers
"48-hour flat 30% off" straight to WhatsApp. Unlike email buried in promotions tabs, WhatsApp templates land in the main chat list — 98%+ open rate vs ~20% for email.
Restock & back-in-stock alerts
Exported your waitlist to a spreadsheet? Paste those numbers into Sendr, pick your restock template, and notify everyone before the item sells out again.
New collection drops
Launch day? Send a rich-media WhatsApp template with an image of the new collection, a CTA button linking to the product page, and a limited-time discount code.
Abandoned cart follow-ups
Export your abandoned-cart list from Shopify or your platform, paste into Sendr, send a template with the product image and a "complete your order" button. Manual but effective at any scale.
Seasonal & holiday campaigns
Diwali deals, Black Friday, end-of-season clearance — schedule campaigns around peak shopping events when your customers are actively buying.
VIP / loyalty re-engagement
Segment your top spenders into a spreadsheet column. Send them an exclusive early-access template before the public sale goes live.

When WhatsApp isn't the right channel
WhatsApp marketing works best for time-sensitive, high-value messages where you need the customer's immediate attention. It's not a newsletter channel — don't send weekly round-ups on WhatsApp.
Use email for: newsletters, content marketing, order confirmations, long-form updates. It's nearly free and users expect high volume.
Use WhatsApp for: flash sales, restock alerts, abandoned cart nudges, VIP early access. Messages where a 98% open rate justifies the per-message cost.
