For small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), WhatsApp (WA) marketing is a crucial low-cost channel for lead generation. However, three major challenges—"cost waste from invalid numbers," "customer loss due to account bans," and "complex operations with limited staff"—have deterred many SMBs. In fact, professional WhatsApp number screening tools can help SMBs overcome these hurdles easily: through WA number screening, SMBs can eliminate invalid numbers at low cost to avoid resource waste. With ITG Global Screening—a low-cost WA number screening tool—SMBs can even achieve "bulk screening + secure account nurturing" in one step. There’s no need to hire high-salary professional operators; SMBs can still run efficient WA marketing campaigns. Starting from the actual needs of SMBs, this article will explain in detail how ITG Global Screening solves WA marketing challenges at low cost, enabling SMBs to master precise lead generation.
Many SMBs do not use WA number screening tools, leading to a dilemma of "high investment, poor results, and high risks" in WA marketing. These issues can be summarized into 3 key pain points:
- Cost Black Hole: When SMBs purchase WA numbers from third-party sources, each number costs 0.1–0.3 yuan. However, empty numbers and unregistered accounts account for over 40%. A 10,000-yuan purchase only yields 6,000 valid numbers, with half the cost wasted.
- Push Loss: Sending messages to invalid numbers wastes data fees of 0.05–0.1 yuan per message. A small clothing store sends 10,000 messages monthly, with 50% being invalid—wasting an extra 500 yuan monthly.
- Labor Waste: Store owners or part-time staff manually screen numbers, processing only 50 entries per day (1,500 per month). This increases hidden labor costs and causes missed marketing timelines (e.g., promotions, new product launches).
- Risk Control Blind Spot: SMBs lack the ability to identify "virtual numbers" or "highly reported accounts." Blindly adding and pushing to these accounts leads to a WA account ban rate of over 50%, resulting in the sudden loss of hundreds of hard-earned customer contacts.
- No Way to Nurture New Accounts: Newly registered WA accounts that start pushing immediately get restricted from sending messages within 3 days. Re-nurturing accounts takes another 1–2 weeks, missing critical periods like new product launches or sales.
- Case: A small jewelry store did not use WA number screening and pushed to 2,000 numbers (30% of which were high-risk accounts). Two accounts were banned within a week, losing 120 interested customers and causing a 30% drop in monthly sales.
- Technical Barrier: Many WA number screening tools require API configuration and knowledge of professional terminology. SMBs have no technical staff, so even if they buy the tool, they can’t use it.
- Disconnected Functions: Three separate tools are needed for screening, nurturing, and pushing. Switching between them is cumbersome; part-time staff take time to learn and make frequent mistakes.
- Hidden Fee Traps: Some tools seem cheap but charge per function (e.g., 10 yuan per 1,000 entries for screening, 20 yuan per account for nurturing). Long-term use costs are not low, making them unaffordable for SMBs.
Tailored to SMBs’ needs for "low cost, ease of use, and full functionality," ITG Global Screening creates an exclusive WA number screening solution, helping SMBs achieve more with less:
ITG Global Screening breaks the misconception that "WA number screening is expensive," meeting SMB needs at low cost:
- Flexible Low-Cost Plans: It offers "Basic" and "Advanced" plans. The Basic Plan costs only 299 yuan per month, allowing screening of 50,000 WA numbers and detection of 10 accounts—more than enough for monthly SMB use.
- Risk-Free Free Trial: New users get 10,000 free number screenings and 3 free account checks. No payment is required if unsatisfied, avoiding blind purchases.
- Visible Cost Savings: A small snack store using ITG reduced its invalid number ratio from 45% to 5%. Monthly push costs dropped from 800 yuan to 420 yuan, saving 2,280 yuan in six months—equivalent to 200 extra orders.
ITG integrates core functions needed by SMBs into one tool. It handles all needs with simple operations and high efficiency:
- Automated Basic Screening: Automatically identifies empty numbers, disconnected numbers, and unregistered WA accounts. 100,000 numbers take only 2 hours—100x more efficient than manual work.
- Simplified Precise Screening: No complex parameter settings are needed. Just check "target region (e.g., Guangdong)," "user type (e.g., mothers)," and "activity (logged in in 7 days)"—the system automatically matches high-potential users.
- Convenient Result Export: After screening, valid numbers are directly exported to Excel. Copy them to WA for pushing; part-time staff can master this in 5 minutes.
- Account Health Detection: Enter a WA account to check "registration duration, number of reports, and risk level" in 10 seconds—judging if it’s suitable for pushing.
- Nurturing Plan Generation: Based on detection results, it provides easy-to-understand nurturing advice (e.g., "New accounts: post 5 Moments and chat with 10 contacts daily"). No professional knowledge is needed.
- Risk Alert Reminders: When an account is close to risk control thresholds, the system automatically sends SMS alerts to avoid sudden bans. SMBs don’t need to monitor accounts 24/7.
A small toy store used ITG’s "bulk screening + account nurturing." One part-time staff processed 30,000 numbers monthly with zero account bans. Valid customers increased from 200 to 800, with only a 1,500-yuan increase in labor costs.
ITG Global Screening is fully simplified to address SMBs’ "no technical staff" pain point:
- Taobao-Like Simple Interface: The backend is categorized into "Screening," "Nurturing," and "Reports." Buttons are clearly labeled (e.g., "Start Screening," "Detect Account")—store owners can learn to use it in one look.
- No More Than 3 Operation Steps: Upload numbers → check criteria → export results. Each step has text prompts (e.g., "Include country code like +86, e.g., +8613800138000").
- Hands-On Customer Service: 24/7 online customer service supports WeChat and phone communication. Remote demonstrations are available for difficult operations. A fruit store owner learned bulk screening in just 10 minutes.
SMBs can use ITG for WA number screening + account nurturing with no complex preparation. It takes less than 1 hour to complete 3 steps:
- Number Sources: SMBs can collect WA numbers from offline customers (e.g., phone numbers left by in-store shoppers) and online communities (e.g., WeChat fan groups).
- Format Organization: Save numbers to Excel, one per line, including the country code (add "+86" for domestic numbers). No need to delete spaces or hyphens—ITG fixes this automatically.
- Beginner Tip: If numbers lack a country code, the system pops up "Auto-add +86?" after upload. Click "Yes"—no manual modification needed.
- Login & Operation: Open the ITG official website, register with a phone number (claim free trial quota), and enter the "WA Bulk Screening" module.
- Set Criteria: Choose criteria based on your business. For a "women’s clothing store targeting female customers aged 18–35":
- Mandatory Criteria: Check "Eliminate empty numbers," "Eliminate virtual numbers," "Eliminate unregistered WA accounts."
- Optional Criteria: Check "Region (local city)," "Age (18–35)," "Activity (logged in in 30 days)."
- Start Screening: Click "Start Screening." 10,000 numbers take about 10 minutes. Do other tasks while waiting—you’ll get an SMS notification when done.
- Nurturing Detection: Enter the "WA Account Nurturing Detection" module, input your WA account, and check health status (green = healthy, yellow = needs nurturing).
- Execute Nurturing: If the account needs nurturing, follow system advice (e.g., "Chat with 5 old customers for 10 minutes daily, post 2 product videos"). Start pushing after 3 days of nurturing.
- Precise Pushing: Export screened valid customers, copy to WA, and push tailored content (e.g., greetings + new product images for new customers, exclusive discounts for old customers). Conversion rates increase by 3–5x.
A small nail salon used this process, spending 299 yuan monthly on ITG. Valid customers increased from 150 to 600, and WA marketing brought an extra 8,000 yuan in monthly revenue—an ROI of over 27:1.
- High Costs: Purchased 2,000 WA numbers monthly for 400 yuan. 50% were invalid, leaving only 1,000 valid entries.
- Account Bans: New accounts started pushing immediately, leading to 3 bans in 2 months and losing 80 old customer contacts.
- Low Efficiency: The store owner spent 1 hour daily screening numbers, processing only 300 monthly—missing the food delivery discount promotion period.
- Lower Costs: Spent 299 yuan monthly on ITG. Invalid number ratio dropped to 5%, with 1,900 valid entries out of 2,000. The cost per valid number fell from 0.2 yuan to 0.15 yuan, saving 100 yuan monthly.
- Secure Accounts: New accounts were nurtured for 3 days (per ITG advice) before pushing. Zero bans in 3 months, and customers increased from 80 to 350.
- Higher Efficiency: 2,000 numbers were screened in 1 hour. The store owner spent only 2 hours monthly on WA marketing. Food delivery orders increased by 20 monthly via WA pushes, adding 12,000 yuan in revenue over 3 months.
Free tools have low accuracy (below 70%) and may leak customer numbers. ITG’s Basic Plan (299 yuan/month) has 99.2% accuracy and guaranteed security—cheaper in the long run.
Customer numbers may be deactivated or disconnected. Re-screen with ITG monthly to eliminate invalid customers and add newly collected numbers—keeping the customer pool active.
Never push to newly registered WA accounts directly. Use ITG to detect and nurture them for 3–7 days (per advice). Account survival rate increases from 30% to 90%.
Push tailored content based on ITG’s user tags (e.g., "mothers," "local customers"). For example, push kids’ meals to mothers and in-store discounts to locals—conversion rates increase by 2–3x.
SMBs don’t need "Advanced" features (e.g., API integration). The Basic Plan’s "bulk screening + account detection" is sufficient. Avoid paying for unused functions.
For SMBs, the core of WA marketing is "achieving more with less." ITG Global Screening—a low-cost WA number screening tool—aligns perfectly with this need: low-cost plans reduce investment, integrated functions save labor, and zero-barrier operations lower difficulty. SMBs can run efficient WA marketing without a professional team.
Remember: SMBs don’t need to compete with large enterprises for resources. Choosing the right low-cost tool lets you overtake them. Start using ITG Global Screening now—299 yuan/month for bulk screening + account nurturing. See customer growth and revenue improvement in 3 months, and let WA marketing become your SMB’s "revenue booster"!
