Task 01 · Audience definition

Three groups.
One warmer welcome.

Segmenting customers by purchase behavior makes each message more relevant. These tags are proposed CRM labels for the fictional café.

Segment 01

Inactive customers

Lapsed_30_Days

Customers who have purchased before but have not placed an order in the past 30 days.

  • Recognize their previous relationship.
  • Offer a welcome-back incentive.
  • Primary win-back audience.
Segment 02

Occasional customers

Occasional_Customers

Customers who have ordered more than once but do not visit or order regularly.

  • Share new menu highlights.
  • Suggest popular combinations.
  • Encourage more frequent visits.
Segment 03

Loyal customers

Loyal_Repeat_Buyers

Frequent customers with a consistent history of repeat purchases.

  • Reward continued loyalty.
  • Introduce referral incentives.
  • Share early access to new items.
Primary campaign audience

Lapsed_30_Days — previous customers who have not ordered in the last month. They already know the café, making a relevant win-back message a practical retention approach.

Retention first
Task 02 · WhatsApp template

A friendly nudge,
not another ad.

A short, personal message gives inactive customers a clear reason to reconnect and makes the next step easy.

Campaign message ingredients

The template uses a warm opening, a time-limited offer, a memorable coupon code and two action choices.

✓ Personal greeting with customer name
✓ 15% welcome-back offer
✓ Seven-day validity window
✓ Two clear CTA button ideas

Template placeholder: {{1}} = customer's first name.

Task 03 · Chatbot design

Three keywords.
Instant answers.

Explore the sample chatbot by selecting a keyword. Each trigger returns a prepared response to a common customer question.

Customer types · MENU
Here's our delicious menu! ☕

☕ Coffee: Cappuccino, Latte, Americano
🥪 Snacks: Sandwiches, Burgers, Wraps
🍰 Desserts: Brownies, Cakes, Pastries

Reply ORDER to place your order!

The bot recognizes MENU and shares the available product categories.

This is a front-end demonstration of the proposed conversation. A live chatbot requires a WhatsApp Business Platform provider or compatible automation tool.

Task 04 · Campaign launch method

Start with the
customers you know.

Choose the channel based on the objective. For this campaign, the café needs to reactivate an existing, permission-based customer audience.

WhatsApp Broadcast

Selected

Send one-to-many campaign messages to eligible existing customers. Best aligned with a focused customer win-back campaign.

CSV contact upload

Supporting option

Useful for organizing and importing customer records into a compatible CRM or messaging platform. Uploading a file alone does not send messages.

Meta Ads

Acquisition

Useful for reaching new audiences or running click-to-WhatsApp ads, but less direct for this existing-customer reactivation objective.

WhatsApp Business API

At scale

Supports advanced integrations, approved templates and automated messaging through a platform or solution provider. More suitable as operations grow.

Why broadcast?

A direct route to repeat orders.

The café already has a relationship with these customers. A relevant offer can remind them of the brand and make ordering convenient.

  • Filter customers by the Lapsed_30_Days tag.
  • Send only to customers who opted in to marketing.
  • Personalize the greeting and offer details.
  • Measure replies, coupon use and repeat purchases.

WhatsApp Business app broadcast delivery can depend on recipients having saved the business number. For larger campaigns, use the WhatsApp Business Platform, approved templates where required, and applicable consent rules.

Task 05 · Automation journey

From “hello”
to another order.

The journey connects customer segmentation, a WhatsApp campaign, automated assistance and a completed purchase.

STEP 01

Existing customer

Past café customer has not ordered recently.

STEP 02

Apply tag

Identify the Lapsed_30_Days segment.

STEP 03

Send broadcast

Share the personalized 15% offer.

STEP 04

Chatbot reply

Respond to MENU, PRICE or OFFER.

STEP 05

Product enquiry

Customer explores menu and prices.

STEP 06

Place order

Customer uses COMEBACK15 and buys.

STEP 07

Repeat buyer

Record purchase and update segment.

Retention loop: After a completed purchase, update the customer's tag to reflect their latest activity. Future campaigns can then be based on fresh purchase behavior rather than repeatedly sending the same win-back message.

CAMPAIGN

Academic project concept. Brew & Bite Café is a fictional brand. The menu, prices, discount and campaign conditions are illustrative examples created for this assignment, not actual commercial offers. The chatbot shown is a website demo, not a connected WhatsApp bot. Marketing messages should be sent only with appropriate customer consent and in accordance with WhatsApp policies and local laws.
