Most businesses know where their customers come from and what they buy. Few understand the journey in between — the touchpoints, the moments of doubt, the triggers that move someone from curious browser to loyal advocate.

DMHub's customer journey mapping tracks every interaction across WhatsApp, orders, support, and loyalty to build a clear picture of how customers progress through your business.

The 5 Journey Stages

DMHub classifies every customer into one of five stages:

1. Awareness

The customer knows you exist but hasn't engaged. They might have:

  • Scanned a QR code
  • Visited your website
  • Been referred by a friend
  • Seen your social media

WhatsApp signal: First message sent but no response to engagement prompts.

2. Consideration

The customer is evaluating you. They're asking questions, browsing your catalog, and comparing options.

WhatsApp signals: Multiple message exchanges, menu requests, price inquiries, "do you have..." questions.

3. Purchase

The customer has bought something or booked a service.

WhatsApp signals: Order confirmed, appointment booked, payment received.

4. Retention

The customer has purchased multiple times and is becoming a regular.

WhatsApp signals: Repeat orders, rebooking, loyalty points accumulating, positive feedback.

5. Advocacy

The customer actively promotes your business. They refer friends, leave reviews, and engage with your content.

WhatsApp signals: Referral code shared, review submitted, high engagement with broadcasts.

How DMHub Maps the Journey

For each customer, DMHub tracks:

  • First touchpoint: Where and when they first contacted you
  • Messages exchanged: Total conversations and topics discussed
  • Purchase history: What, when, how much, and how often
  • Support interactions: Issues raised and resolved
  • Loyalty activity: Points earned, rewards redeemed
  • Referral activity: Friends referred and converted
  • Feedback: Ratings and reviews submitted

All of this data feeds into a visual journey map showing where each customer is, where they've been, and what's likely to happen next.

Using Journey Data for WhatsApp Campaigns

Move Consideration to Purchase

Customers stuck in consideration for 7+ days:

``` {{name}}, still thinking about {{product_or_service}}?

Happy to answer any questions. Or if you're ready, I can help you get started right here. ```

Move Purchase to Retention

After first purchase:

``` Thanks for your first order, {{name}}!

Here's what happens next:

  • Join our loyalty program (reply LOYALTY)
  • Get personalized recommendations (reply RECOMMEND)
  • Save 10% on your next order (reply NEXT)

```

Move Retention to Advocacy

After 5th purchase:

``` {{name}}, you've been with us since {{first_purchase_date}} and we appreciate you so much.

Know someone who'd love us too? Share your referral link and you both get {{reward}}: {{referral_link}} ```
