Something has to be said for the developments made in the technology or software space.

Whether it is the release of a sleek, futuristic phone or a refined version of an app, those developments always help us embrace a simpler, more convenient and inspiring future.

One of the world’s most popular chat apps has conjured another innovation. WhatsApp has launched a test version of a new subscription model for business users.

Much like any service you tend to pay for, WhatsApp’s Premium Business Account gives entrepreneurs exciting features to play with.

Budding business people will have access to a number of tools that will help them grow and enhance their businesses.

According to BusinessTech, the new iteration comes with useful premium tools, such as a WhatsApp web page, which gives your business a professional web presence and helps customers easily discover and connect with your business.

The other provides multi-agent support for up to 10 devices and chat assignment. This allows multiple agents to communicate with customers from a single business account.

“As your small business grows, you need more powerful tools to help it thrive. WhatsApp Business Premium tools are optional paid features that help you run your business even more efficiently and attract more customers,” said WhatsApp.

Now, more entrepreneurs will be able to scale their operations and market their wares by guiding customers to a WhatsApp web page. This enables most businesses to have an online presence and acts as a boon for budding brands since they’ll be able to market their wares more efficiently.

What’s great is that users will have the option to make use of the subscription service for a trial period:

“If you have the option to try WhatsApp Business Premium for free, you will not be charged until after 30 days. Cancel your subscription before your trial ends to avoid being charged.”

If you’re already an active and highly productive WhatsApp Business user, the premium service will help streamline the way business operates and open up other avenues for growth.

If you’ve toyed with the idea of transforming a hobby into a business, now may be the time to do so.

Who knows? You could run it all with the tips of your fingers.
