We all know that one person who knows where to get the best coffee, who to call for reliable plumbing, or which vet cares as much as you do about your dog. In South Africa, word of mouth is how many of us decide where to spend our hard-earned moolah.
Now, leaving that kind of trusted recommendation doesn’t require a lengthy process. Instead, you can help millions of South Africans make a smarter decision – all by doing something you already do every day: sending a WhatsApp message.
Yes, you only need Hellopeter’s WhatsApp chatbot to say what’s on your mind, hit send, and support a business that values your opinion.
You’ve got two minutes, right?
That’s all it takes. Leaving a review on WhatsApp is quicker than making a cup of tea. There’s no need to log into Hellopeter. You don’t even need to open a separate app.
From sharing TikToks and checking on the kids to planning birthday parties and sending voice notes, WhatsApp is a daily habit for millions of South Africans. It’s where we catch up, plan our days, and get things done.
So why should leaving a review feel like it’s more admin? Using WhatsApp is familiar, fast, and already part of your existing routine.
In fact, an average of 48% Hellopeter reviews per month are written using the WhatsApp chatbot!
It’s easy to assume that your review won’t make much of a difference, but it really does. Especially here in Mzansi, where community and connection matter significantly.
Your WhatsApp review can:
You know that moment – you had an excellent experience, you meant to leave a review, and then life happened.
WhatsApp takes away the guilt by making reviews instant and easy. No “I’ll do it when I get home” promises that turn into next week.
While you have your phone in your hand, it only takes a few taps to send your review. You can do it on the go. All you need is your phone!
And just like that, the thought is off your mind, and your review is helping the business and future buyers.
That’s it. No forms. No passwords. No additional tabs.
More often than not, you’ll wish to review a business on your own initiative. However, sometimes a business may send you a Hellopeter review invitation via WhatsApp or email.
