More Than Ads. Discover Creative Tools on Viber

Here is a riddle: what messaging app has a wide reach, a variety of cool features, and is easy to use for consumers and businesses? What’s more, it has been recognized by Coca Cola, the World Bank and the United Nations as a great way to connect with people around the world. No more guessing! It’s Viber. 

Not only is Viber a perfect go-to communication app, it’s a powerful tool for businesses and marketers that literally gets a message out there. Most people use chat or texting apps on the daily basis. In fact, 95.6% access messaging apps regularly. Viber has been downloaded over 1 billion times on Android alone, and is available in over 190 countries – this makes it an obvious choice for brands to reach their audiences.

Viber for Business solutions can be used to attract new customers, build loyalty among existing customers, and drive sales. And it is so much more than an advertisement platform – Viber helps companies stand out from the competition thanks to its wide range of features and solutions.

Viber for Business solutions for each step of the customer journey

Here are some examples on how brands can creatively use Viber:

  • Viber Lenses

Viber Lenses is a feature that allows users to add fun effects and visuals that can be applied to express emotions and moods, or simply to decorate photos and videos. Businesses can design their own personalized, branded Lenses to attract people’s attention, and also appeal to Gen Z clientele, resulting in the brand going viral.

  • Viber Sticker Pack

Another great option is creating stickers and sharing them with your customers. Over 1 billion stickers are sent every month, making them one of the most popular Viber features. Users can then send those stickers to their contacts, with the brand as part of the messaging thread. Businesses can easily integrate Viber stickers into their marketing strategy and use them as part of brand building and audience engagement efforts.

  • Creative use of video

Viber’s function of sharing videos can be used by businesses to provide useful tips and tricks, instructions, and other information. This way, customers can quickly access the information they need and get on with their day, without having to search for and read lengthy content.
