Introduction

In 2025, marketing teams are no longer just A/B testing email subject lines they're rethinking the entire channel. As inbox fatigue rises and email open rates hover around 18%, digital marketers are turning to a platform with unmatched engagement:WhatsApp.

Why Email Alone No Longer Works

• Delayed engagement

• Static templates with no interactivity

This has opened the door for conversational channels, and WhatsApp leads the pack.

WhatsApp: The Channel Customers Actually Use

As of June 2025, WhatsApp has over 2.78 billion active users globally. Unlike emails, messages on WhatsApp are:

• End-to-end encrypted and trusted

• Read instantly (98% open rate)

• Interactive (buttons, images, lists)

• Permission-based (opt-in required)

These advantages have made WhatsApp API a go to solution for marketers who care about real engagement.
