But there's a thin line between being helpful and being invasive. Cross it and you become spam. Respect it and you become the brand the customer has saved in their contacts.

The WhatsApp Business app (free) gives you: business profile (address, hours, website, description), product/service catalog visible in chat, quick replies (templates for frequent questions), labels to organize contacts (new customer, in negotiation, to follow up), and automatic welcome message. It's not a CRM — but for an SMB with fewer than 500 contacts, it's enough to manage conversations professionally.
