How Kerala Sellers Can Grow Sales Using WhatsApp in 2025

Why WhatsApp Works in Kerala

Most buyers browse on phones, discover through Status or Instagram, and complete orders after a quick chat. A clear catalog, quick replies, and trusted local delivery are the pillars of conversions.

Key advantages

• Mobile-first discovery and conversations
• Trust via direct chat and local language
• Fast sharing through Status, Broadcast, and Groups

Step-by-Step: Set Up a High-Converting Catalog

1. Create product sheets with 3–5 clear photos each. Use a neutral background and show scale or use context.
2. Write short titles in Malayalam/English and add 3–4 bullet benefits plus price.
3. Include delivery options, payment modes (UPI/QR), and return policy in the catalog description.
4. Pin best-sellers on top and use Collections for sarees, spices, handicrafts, etc.
