What is the Telegram Messaging app?

With over 700 million monthly active users, Telegram is the go-to messaging app for young, privacy-conscious people worldwide. Telegram has experienced incredible growth since it started out – around 40% each year – making it the fastest-growing messaging app around. 

Telegram is a worldwide app, but it’s especially popular in parts of eastern Europe and Asia. It’s also a big hit in the USA with over 20 million people enjoying the benefits. Most users are under 34. 

What can I do with Telegram business messaging?

Telegram for marketing

If a Telegram user follows your business (or ‘starts your company bot’, as it’s called on Telegram), that’s a green light to send announcements, product updates,  and promotions!

Telegram for sales

Give new and existing customers live consultations to ask all those burning pre-sales questions so you can close that deal. Be there for follow-up queries post-sale too.

Telegram for customer support

Cut down on expensive phone calls for routine queries and put Telegram to work instead! Connect live agents and be there when customers need a little bit of extra help.
