WhatsApp Business API for Bhimavaram's feed dealers, colleges and temples
Bhimavaram is the headquarters of West Godavari and sits in the middle of the delta's shrimp and fish ponds. Its dealers write to farmers on credit, its colleges to parents across both Telugu states, its temples' neighbours to devotees.
Trade 1
Shrimp and fish ponds
Dealers sell feed and seed on credit to the delta's pond farmers, and buyers collect the harvest.
Trade 2
Colleges
Engineering, dental and degree colleges write to applicants and parents across both Telugu states.
For Bhimavaram's feed and seed dealers and shrimp buyers, its engineering and dental colleges, and the lodges and shops around Somarama and Mavullamma: which messages to farmers, parents and devotees are utility and which are marketing, how to write them in Telugu, and what each costs.
See it work
A dispatch note or a feed offer
A Bhimavaram dealer who supplies shrimp and fish ponds sends farmers two kinds of message. They look alike on the phone, but Meta files them in different categories, with different rules and rates.
The mistake is adding a line about the new feed to the bottom of a dispatch note. That one line can make the whole template marketing, and then it can only go to farmers who opted in to offers, at the marketing rate.
Written cleanly, the dispatch note goes in Telugu to every farmer with an order, and the offer goes separately to the shorter list that said yes to it. The India guide covers the consent rules behind that list.
