Moving from one-way digital communication to interactive customer
Limited Two-Way Digital Engagement
While Yakult’s physical distribution channel fostered personal interactions, its digital platforms (like SNS and website) were primarily one-way communication tools, lacking the interactivity customers desired.
Lack of Personalization
Most messaging was standardized, making it difficult to deliver content tailored to individual customer preferences and questions.
Inefficient Survey Collection
Customer surveys were slow and lacked agility, making it harder to capture real-time feedback or behavioral insights at scale.
Building a Conversational Hub with AiSensy’s WhatsApp Automation
Customer Support & Information Chatbot
Yakult implemented a WhatsApp chatbot to answer key queries like “Tell me more about Yakult” or “Contact a branch office”—delivering fast, relevant information while maintaining Yakult’s personalized brand voice.
Promotional Campaigns & User Guidance
Using AiSensy’s chat flows, Yakult runs targeted promotional campaigns and product awareness initiatives, ensuring that customers get tailored information on new offerings and updates.
Agile WhatsApp Surveys
In June 2024, Yakult successfully conducted a survey campaign reaching 9,000+ users by combining WhatsApp outreach with a forms-style experience. This approach provided quick and actionable user insights, something that was previously time-intensive.
