Why brands choose BusinessChat over Mailchimp
While Mailchimp has a long history and offers an easy to use product. Their email marketing channel keeps setting their customers back. Small ecommerce stores require a marketing channel that goes right to the customer. And They need a platform that provides seamless, automated experiences that effortlessly drive new sales to match.
That’s where BusinessChat comes in. We are a whatsapp partner and marketing platform that offers built-in integration with shopify stores to take ecommerce businesses to the next level. Unlike Mailchimp, our transparent payment plan ensures there are no hidden fees or surprises.
Your account remains intact, and all your data syncs seamlessly when you're ready to send a campaign. You receive the value you paid for—a functional platform that works and delivers results.
Campaigns built with Ecommerce in mind
The main goal of the BusinessChat marketing platform is to help you generate profit.
BusinessChat users generate an average ROI of $90 for every $1 spent, contributing to a monthly campaign revenue exceeding $6 million.
As good as, using Mailchimp for free for up to 2,000 contacts sounds as a new business. It’s important to consider that Mailchimp’s free plan isn't good for the long run. This plan lacks the ability to set up automated marketing campaigns like cart abandonment and welcome series. And if you pay to use Mailchimp, you'll be restricted with their monthly email sending limits.
With BusinessChat, you can send unlimited messages and pay for exactly what you sent. No extra charges. Actually, your first 1,000 message replies of the month are on us. You'll also gain immediate access to automated campaigns that are 10 times more effective than email marketing, all delivered through a channel your customers prefer.
Within hours of launching your WhatsApp automated campaigns with BusinessChat, you can expect an impressive 80% open rate, as people tend to naturally open their WhatsApp messages. Over 500 businesses using BusinessChat are achieving conversion rates of up to 20% for their customers' abandoned carts, and this is just one example of the marketing automations we provide.
BusinessChat's easy integration with your ecommerce website enables you to effortlessly create and manage unique coupon codes, all without the need for additional apps or extra charges.
Coupons are an essential tool for ecommerce businesses. They not only make your customers feel valued but also motivate them to make a purchase from your store.
BusinessChat gives you access to the #1 revenue channel for Shopify stores
BusinessChat's capture and welcome new contacts automation (or welcome series) effectively transforms your website traffic into a highly engaged list and first purchasers. In contrast, Mailchimp's list growth tools are limited to basic pop-ups that merely offer checkbox-based email capture.
BusinessChat also provides pop-ups and banners with visitor behavior tracking for your website that trigger at the perfect time. You can select from our collection of high-converting templates, which have been tested by over 500 of our customers across different industries. Or design your own from scratch with custom colors, fonts and images that match your brand.
Unfortunately, Mailchimp's popup targeting restricts how frequently your website visitors encounter pop-ups to just once a year, even if they didn't subscribe initially. This results in potentially missing out on capturing thousands of new customers.
BusinessChat’s audience targeting capabilities give you complete control over who sees your campaigns and when. This feature is available thanks to our built-in integration with shopify. So you can start targeting those cart abandoners, new visitors, or win old customers back with the right message at the right time..

😍 The Best marketing channel:
WhatsApp is the future of marketing, thanks to its high engagement, open rate, conversion rate, and the fact that it's where your customers are. It's the ideal platform for businesses seeking to engage with customers and drive sales.
✅ Unlimited Message Sends:
Send as many messages as you need, regardless of your contact list size. Our consumption-based pricing model ensures you can reach your customers at the right time without any limitations.
✅ Shopify Coupon Integration:
Coupon code creation is built in the BuisinessChat platform. Add coupon codes to your messages that sync with your Shopify store.
😍 Expert Support:
Our BusinessChat team offers industry-level marketing insights and support to assist you in launching your first campaign and getting your business on the right track.
😍 Welcome Series Automation:

😍 Customer Winback messages:
Make sure that your first time buyers become loyal customers and make repeated purchases. Automate win back offers and reminders and assure that 30% of your customers are returning again and again.
🥲 Overused marketing channel:
Email marketing has become oversaturated, with your customers receiving an abundance of promotional messages daily which leads to lower open and conversion rates.
❌ Limited monthly emails:
Your monthly email sending capacity is determined by the quantity of contacts in your list.
❌ No built in coupon integration:
To enable coupon delivery, you'll need to use an additional application, starting at $29 per month, which comes with its own delivery restrictions.
😢 Restricted support:
Mailchimp limits access to full customer support, including phone consultations. it is only exclusive to premium plan subscribers
🥲 Cart abandonment spam:
Mailchimp bombards cart abandoners with 3 messages within the first 24 hours. A best practice for cart abandonment messages is to send a series of three well-timed messages, spread over 3 days.
🥲 Lost time and sales:
Mailchimp's default settings require extra customization for ecommerce, leading to more setup time and clicks to make them work effectively for your business.
🥲 Limited controls:
Mailchimp's popup targeting restricts pop ups to appear only once a year for site visitors, potentially resulting in missed opportunities to capture thousands of email addresses from those who didn't sign up initially.
