In the ever-changing arena of customer outreach, the importance of immediate, real-time communication cannot be emphasized enough. Traditionally, businesses heavily relied on emails to connect with customers. However, in today’s landscape, the focus has shifted to a more instantaneous and interactive platform—Slack.
Picture this: Your customers are already embedded in Slack, spending a significant portion of their work hours collaborating with their teams and external partners. To truly engage with your customers, you need to meet them where they are: in the heart of their work ecosystem—Slack.
Slack, beyond being a platform for internal communication, has emerged as the ideal space for businesses to connect with their customers. With features like Slack Connect, it’s become the perfect conduit for real-time conversations, enabling seamless collaboration and effective customer interaction.
When it comes to customer communication on Slack, the possibilities are vast. From sharing product updates, marketing newsletters, event invitations, incident communications, to holiday coverage, the platform accommodates a diverse range of content, enhancing the customer experience and ensuring they stay informed and engaged.

While email marketing has been a stalwart for decades, the landscape is shifting. Customers are progressively spending less time on emails and more time within the interactive and collaborative environment of Slack. The trend is unmistakable, and businesses that adapt to this shift gain a significant edge in engaging with their audience proactively.
Thena’s early research underscores the potency of Slack as a marketing and engagement platform— in fact, our customers see almost an 8x increase in conversion rates when broadcasting product updates across Slack compared to doing so on email.
