Why Send Multiple Messages?

Mass mailing is not only effective in large businesses but also in personal situations. It is commonly used by businesses to conduct a marketing campaign, update a product or provide customer service information. To the individuals, it may as well be in the form of sending out wedding invitations, party reminders or festive greetings. The greatest benefit? Efficiency and time-saving. You are spared going to and fro typing the same message and sending it to all the people at once.

Methods to Send Multiple Messages on WhatsApp

• Using WhatsApp Broadcast Lists: Broadcast lists You can send the same message to many people simultaneously without having to create a group, a built-in WhatsApp feature. This is how it is done:
  • Open WhatsApp and go to the chat screen.
  • Click on either “Broadcast Lists” or “New Broadcast”.
  • Make a list of contacts.
  • Write and send – and it will be sent over to each receiver in its turn.
  Limitations: Those who have saved your number only will get to receive the broadcast message. It is thus perfect business to update an existing customer or a friend that already possesses your details.
• Creating and Using WhatsApp Groups: Groups can best be used in case of consistent dialogues or updates. Here we can get a group, put the names of all the people who will get the message, and send. People will view identical content and will be able to respond in case it is necessary.

  Pros: Perfect to work in interactive communication and continuous discussions.

  Cons: It is inappropriate in case you desire privacy among recipients or in case some individuals do not object to group notifications.

• Using the “Forward” Feature Efficiently: If you’ve already sent your message to one person, you can forward it to others without retyping.
  • Tap and hold the message.
  • Select the forward icon.
  • Choose multiple chats and hit send.
  Note: WhatsApp currently limits the number of chats you can forward a message to at once, which can be inconvenient for very large lists.
• Using Third-Party Tools and Automation:Wherever you need a large and professional application, it would just take some bulk messaging automatic tools such as Cloud Gateway. Such tools come in handy when a business has to send individualised messages to thousands of their contacts without contravening WhatsApp policies. Another tool to prevent problems with the account is always to use a compliant service.

Best Practices for Sending Multiple Messages

• Avoid Spamming: Send relevant messages that add value to the recipient.
• Personalise When Possible: Adding a name or relevant detail increases engagement.
• Schedule for the Right Time: Avoid sending messages late at night or too early.
• Keep It Short and Clear: People are more likely to read concise, to-the-point messages.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Sending Too Many Messages at Once: This will frustrate the recipients and may even result in muting and blocking.
• Not Updating Your Contact List: Delete the contacts that are not interested in talking to you.
• Using Unapproved Tools: Software not considered legitimate might lock you up temporarily or even indefinitely.

Conclusion

It is not necessary that sending a number of messages on WhatsApp should be a complex procedure. You can use broadcast lists to privately communicate, groups to engage in interactive conversations, forwarding to share faster or professional tools to send mass messages; the point is you need to pick the approach that suits you best. Apply these tactics carefully, follow the idea of not wasting people's time, and you will see how your interaction will go swifter, smoother and much more efficiently.
