Product pre-sale via WhatsApp: validate demand and sell before launch

By VeyloCRM · · 3 min read

Pre-sale shows if the product will sell before you invest everything in it. On WhatsApp, the list of interested people turns into buyers on launch day.

Why do a pre-sale

Producing stock without knowing if it will sell is a risk. In pre-sale, the customer buys in advance with a special offer, and you produce knowing the quantity. Clothing, cosmetics, books, and handmade products often use this model.

WhatsApp is the ideal channel to gather interested people and announce the launch.

Validate demand

Show the product and ask who wants to receive the launch notification.
