WhatsApp status videos that get customers ordering

Why WhatsApp status videos sell
The people who see your Status have your number: customers, their friends and family, and warm leads. A Status doesn't get buried by an algorithm. It shows up right in your contacts' feed. And all it takes to order is one message.
A daily Status plan for small businesses
- Morning: new arrivals or the product of the day, with the price.
- Midday: a limited-time offer, or the daily special for restaurants.
- Evening: social proof (a delivered order, a happy customer pictured with their permission) or a question.
- Weekend: a promotion with a deadline.
Post regularly, but don't overdo it: a few well-made statuses a day beat a flood your contacts skip without watching.
How to make a great WhatsApp status video
- Keep it short: video statuses have a time limit, so aim for 10 to 20 seconds.
- Show the product: upload your photo and it will be animated.
- Show the price: it's the first thing your customers ask.
- Include delivery and payment info: area, delivery time and accepted payment methods.
You can post the same video as a TikTok video. For a full catalog, check out our e-commerce product video page, or create your first Status.
Turn Status views into orders
A Status view is worthless if nobody messages you. Make replying easy: a simple code to send ("Text DRESS2"), a clear price, limited quantities. When a customer replies, get back to them fast with payment and delivery details. You can also send the video directly to customers who've already bought something similar, since the conversation is already open.
