What works on WhatsApp Status

  • Short statuses: 10 to 15 seconds, one message.
  • A caring tone, never guilt-tripping.
  • A simple action: reply one word to book.
  • Practical info: closures, hours, emergencies.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Too many statuses: one or two a week is enough.
  • Commercial messages: stick to information and prevention.
  • Patient data: never show a patient or a file.
