Are you a WhatsApp seller? There are many ways you can use the Facebook-owned messaging service. We have put together a list of free WhatsApp tools for businesses that you can use to grow online.

WhatsApp may have rolled out its Business version for a select number of users but you can turn your WhatsApp into a business version with these add-on tools and features. Check these out:

WhatsApp Broadcast/Group Messages

Whatsapp groups are a great place to promote your services or products. You can form your own online sellers’ group or join one with an invite link. Think of it as a networking platform where you can not only post links to your service or product but also exchange business insights. Instamojo has an active group of small businesses on WhatsApp. You can join us here.
