In cross-border marketing, "wasted budgets" are the most painful issue for businesses — investing tens of thousands of yuan monthly in number procurement, mass messaging, and account nurturing, only to find over half the budget spent on invalid numbers: empty numbers can’t receive messages, virtual numbers trigger risk control, and inactive accounts don’t respond. Less than 40% of the budget actually goes to valid customers. WhatsApp screening is the core solution to budget waste. With a professional WhatsApp screening tool, businesses can identify valid numbers in advance and protect budgets from invalid losses. Among such tools, ITG Global Screening stands out with its precise screening capability and cost-control advantages, helping countless businesses ensure every penny is spent where it matters most, achieving marketing results of "lower investment, higher returns".
The root cause of wasted budgets lies in the "chain of waste" caused by invalid numbers — from number procurement and message sending to account nurturing, every link consumes resources. WhatsApp screening is the key to breaking this waste chain:
- Business Dilemma: Among 100,000 purchased WhatsApp numbers, empty numbers and unregistered WhatsApp accounts often account for over 45%. Calculated at a procurement cost of ¥0.1 per number, invalid numbers alone waste ¥4,500. Worse, some suppliers mix in virtual numbers and low-quality numbers; while the procurement cost seems low, the actual validity rate is less than 30%, leading to "buying more but using less" and repeated budget waste.
- Value of WhatsApp Screening: ITG Global Screening has an accuracy rate of 99.3%. After screening 100,000 numbers, it can accurately retain 55,000 valid customers with a 100% invalid number elimination rate. No procurement fees are wasted on invalid numbers, and it also helps businesses identify low-quality suppliers. For subsequent procurement, only "high-validity number sources" are selected, reducing single procurement costs by 40%.
- Real Case: A cross-border clothing business purchased 80,000 numbers monthly for ¥8,000 before using WhatsApp screening, among which 36,000 were invalid, resulting in an actual valid cost of ¥0.22 per number. After adopting ITG Global Screening, it prioritized screening supplier numbers and only purchased numbers with a validity rate over 80%. It now spends ¥5,000 monthly on 50,000 numbers, reducing the valid cost to ¥0.1 per number and saving ¥3,000 in monthly procurement budgets.
- Operational Challenge: Sending mass messages to 100,000 numbers costs ¥5,000 in data fees (¥0.05 per message). However, 50,000 invalid numbers can’t receive messages, equivalent to ¥2,500 in data fees wasted. More seriously, sending messages to virtual numbers or reported accounts may trigger WhatsApp platform restrictions, preventing valid customers from receiving messages and further diluting budget value.
- Role of WhatsApp Screening: After ITG Global Screening eliminates invalid numbers, messages are only sent to valid customers. After screening 100,000 numbers, only 50,000 messages need to be sent, directly saving ¥2,500 in data fees. At the same time, it avoids risky numbers and platform restrictions, increasing the effective message reach rate from 60% to 100%, ensuring every penny of data budget reaches customers accurately.
- Cost Comparison: A cross-border electronics business sent 200,000 mass messages monthly for ¥10,000 in data fees before using WhatsApp screening, with 80,000 invalid sends wasting ¥4,000. After using ITG Global Screening, it only sends 120,000 valid messages monthly for ¥6,000 in data fees, saving ¥4,000 monthly and increasing valid customer inquiries by 50%.
- Hidden Loss: Businesses mistakenly include numbers linked to banned devices and reported accounts in their customer pools. Sending messages to these accounts triggers risk control, leading to WhatsApp account bans. The nurturing cost of a mature account exceeds ¥800 (including time and resource investment); banning 5 accounts monthly wastes ¥4,000 in nurturing costs. Worse, after account bans, accumulated customers can no longer be followed up with, and previous promotion budgets become useless.
- Advantage of WhatsApp Screening: ITG Global Screening can real-time mark risky numbers such as "virtual numbers, numbers linked to banned devices, and inactive numbers in the past 90 days". After businesses eliminate these numbers with one click, the account ban rate drops from 52% to below 5%. The number of banned accounts per month decreases from 5 to 1, saving ¥3,200 in nurturing costs. Mature accounts can continue following up with customers, ensuring no waste of previous promotion budgets.
- Loss Case: A cross-border beauty brand had 6 accounts banned monthly due to risky numbers before using WhatsApp screening, costing ¥4,800 in nurturing fees and forcing it to abandon over 800 accumulated customers per account. After using ITG Global Screening, only 1 account is banned monthly, reducing nurturing costs to ¥800, cutting customer churn by 83%, and saving ¥4,000 in monthly nurturing budgets.
Designed specifically for marketing cost control, ITG Global Screening focuses on three dimensions — "reducing costs, improving efficiency, and ensuring security" — to maximize the value of every penny:
- Multi-Dimensional Invalid Identification: It not only screens empty and suspended numbers but also accurately identifies 6 types of invalid numbers (including virtual numbers, reported accounts, and numbers linked to banned devices). With a 100% invalid number elimination rate, it eliminates budget waste in procurement, data, and nurturing links.
- Supplier Quality Verification: Supports uploading "test number packages" provided by suppliers. Through WhatsApp screening, it quickly detects validity rates. Suppliers with a validity rate below 60% are directly eliminated, avoiding subsequent procurement risks and reducing long-term procurement costs.
- Cost Calculation Function: Automatically generates a "cost comparison report before and after screening", clearly showing "procurement cost savings of ¥XX, data cost savings of ¥XX, and nurturing cost savings of ¥XX". This helps businesses intuitively track budget optimization effects and adjust investments targetedly.
- User Feedback: After using the WhatsApp screening tool, Operator Wang reduced monthly marketing budgets from ¥30,000 to ¥18,000. "I used to feel like there was never enough budget, but now I realize most of it was wasted on invalid costs. With ITG screening, I can see the value of every penny."
ITG Global Screening integrates full-process functions including "number generation - precise screening - account nurturing detection - customer management". One WhatsApp screening tool covers multi-link needs, avoiding budget idleness caused by tool switching (e.g., purchasing numbers but failing to send messages promptly due to slow screening, missing market windows):
- Number Generation Function: Supports custom number generation with "country code + area code". For example, to develop the Tokyo, Japan market, local numbers starting with "+81(3)" can be generated, then valid customers are screened via WhatsApp screening. This eliminates the need for additional number procurement, saving procurement budgets.
- Account Nurturing Detection Function: Enter a WhatsApp account to detect its registration duration and risk control level, and generate a nurturing plan. The survival rate of new accounts increases to over 92%, avoiding budget waste from failed nurturing and ensuring quick returns on nurturing investments.
- Customer Hierarchical Management: After screening, customers are categorized into "high-value customers", "potential customers", and "to-be-followed customers". Budgets are prioritized for high-value customers (e.g., sending high-conversion copy or exclusive offers), avoiding scattered investments and increasing the return on investment per customer.
- Efficiency Comparison: A foreign trade company previously used 4 tools for number generation, screening, nurturing, and management, resulting in ¥12,000 in idle monthly budgets due to process delays. After using ITG Global Screening, process efficiency increased by 60%, idle budgets dropped to ¥3,000, and monthly revenue increased by ¥8,000.
- Visual Operation Interface: The backend is categorized by "budget optimization processes" (procurement screening - sending screening - nurturing screening). Each function is accompanied by "cost optimization explanations" (e.g., "procurement screening reduces procurement costs by 40%"), helping businesses understand the budget value of each operation and avoid blind use.
- Simple Screening Settings: Complex screening criteria are simplified to "checkbox options". For example, to "reduce nurturing costs", users only need to check "Eliminate numbers linked to banned devices" and "Eliminate reported accounts", completing configuration in 30 seconds. Even newbies can control budget waste precisely.
- Free Trial Guarantee: New users can screen 10,000 numbers and detect 3 accounts for free, enough to test "cost reduction effects after screening". Payment is only required if satisfied, avoiding budget waste from blind tool purchases with zero trial risk.
No professional financial knowledge is required. Follow these 4 steps to optimize budgets within 30 minutes and ensure every penny is well-spent:
- Upload Supplier Numbers: Organize the "test number package" (500-1,000 numbers recommended) provided by suppliers into Excel/TXT format (including country codes, with special characters removed).
- Set Screening Criteria: Check "Eliminate empty/suspended numbers", "Eliminate virtual numbers", and "Eliminate unregistered WhatsApp accounts".
- Analyze Validity Rate: After screening, calculate the "valid number count / total test count". Suppliers with a validity rate ≥80% can be partnered with; those below 60% are directly eliminated to avoid subsequent procurement waste.
- Newbie Tip: If suppliers refuse to provide test packages, purchase a small batch of 1,000 numbers first, test the validity rate via WhatsApp screening, then decide on long-term cooperation.
Take "cross-border 3C products with target customers as 'male users aged 18-40 in the US'" as an example:
- Upload Numbers for Messaging: Organize existing numbers into a compliant format and upload to ITG Global Screening.
- Set Screening Criteria:
- Basic Screening: Check "Eliminate empty/suspended numbers", "Eliminate virtual numbers", and "Eliminate inactive numbers in the past 90 days" (avoid sending to inactive customers).
- Precise Screening: Check "Region - US", "Gender - Male", and "Age - 18-40" (lock target customers, avoid sending to non-potential customers).
- Export Valid Numbers: Export only "valid + precise" customers and send messages based on this count, directly saving over 50% in data fees.
- Enter WhatsApp Accounts: Input new and existing accounts to be nurtured (in the format of "country code + phone number") into the "Account Nurturing Detection" module.
- Start Detection: Generate a health report within 10 seconds, marking "high-risk accounts" (linked to banned devices or with multiple reports).
- Eliminate Risky Accounts: Abandon high-risk accounts and only nurture "healthy accounts" and "accounts to be nurtured". This saves 80% in nurturing costs and prevents risky accounts from affecting other accounts.
- View Cost Reports: ITG Global Screening automatically generates a "budget optimization report", including "procurement cost savings of ¥XX, data cost savings of ¥XX, and nurturing cost savings of ¥XX".
- Adjust Investment Direction: Prioritize using saved budgets for "high-value customer follow-up" (e.g., exclusive offers, one-on-one consultations) to increase the conversion rate per customer.
- Practical Case: A cross-border footwear business optimized its budget using this process. Monthly procurement costs dropped from ¥6,000 to ¥3,600, data fees from ¥5,000 to ¥2,500, and nurturing costs from ¥4,000 to ¥800, totaling ¥4,100 in monthly savings. By investing the saved budget in exclusive offers for high-value customers, its monthly transaction volume increased by 60%.
Many businesses still fail to achieve ideal budget optimization results after using WhatsApp screening tools, mostly because they fall into these mistakes, which must be avoided:
- Only Screen the Messaging Link, Ignoring Procurement: Screening numbers only before messaging but not testing the validity rate of supplier numbers leads to budget waste during procurement. Screen supplier test packages first to control procurement costs from the source.
- Too Broad Screening Criteria, Imprecise Valid Customers: Only eliminating empty numbers without screening "region, age, or activity level" results in sending messages to non-target customers and wasting data budgets. Set precise criteria based on business needs to ensure every message reaches potential customers.
- No Screening for Account Nurturing, Blind Nurturing: Nurturing all accounts without detecting account health wastes budgets on failed nurturing of high-risk accounts. Screen account risks first and only nurture valuable accounts.
- Idling Saved Budgets, No Reallocation: Saving budgets through screening but not investing them in high-value links leads to idle budgets. Reallocate saved budgets to "high-conversion actions" (e.g., precise customer follow-up, exclusive offers) to maximize budget value.
- No Regular Screening Updates, Relying on Old Data: Number status changes (e.g., active numbers becoming inactive) lead to budget waste if screening isn’t updated regularly. Re-screen customer numbers monthly and test supplier validity rates quarterly.
Wasted marketing budgets aren’t due to insufficient investment, but failure to avoid invalid losses. A WhatsApp screening tool is like a "budget filter", helping businesses eliminate invalid costs and ensure every penny reaches valid customers and generates actual returns.
As a professional WhatsApp screening tool, ITG Global Screening not only controls budget waste across procurement, messaging, and nurturing links but also improves budget efficiency through integrated functions, enabling small and medium-sized businesses to achieve "low-cost, high-return" marketing results.
