The bedrop Story

bedrop sells natural bee products like propolis, manuka honey, and royal jelly. Founded in 2020 by Betül Yönak-Bein and Florian Bein in Mannheim. Investor Judith Williams joined in 2022, alongside the founders of Bitterliebe. Today the products are stocked at dm and Rossmann, and bedrop is on track to become the leading bee products brand in the DACH region. WhatsApp is a core part of bedrop's CRM mix. The brand runs regular campaigns, automated flows, and a community that buys, gives feedback, and recommends products over WhatsApp. With campaigns like "4 Days 4 Goodies", bedrop crossed the one-million-euro mark in total WhatsApp revenue. Chatarmin awarded the brand the Revenue Award for that milestone. Over €1,000,000 in revenue via WhatsApp. The award hangs in the bedrop office.

Customer Experience

How was the campaign structured?

bedrop ran the "4 Days 4 Goodies" campaign with Chatarmin. Four days, four exclusive deals for WhatsApp subscribers. A new offer every day, a new reason to buy every day.

Campaign1

The campaign combined urgency with reward. A new "goodie" each day, available for that day only. Recipients knew: act today or miss out. And the anticipation stayed high because a fresh deal was waiting the next morning.

Campaign2

The messaging was segmented. Existing customers and new customers received different content, tailored to their purchase history. Messages included strong visuals, short copy with a clear call to action, and direct purchase links. From the lock screen to checkout in seconds.

The result: 1,874 orders in 4 days. €163,983 in revenue. And another milestone on the way to the Chatarmin Revenue Award.

The Technical Setup

Direct integration with the tech stack

bedrop connected Chatarmin directly to Shopify. Customer data, order history, and segments sync automatically. The team manages campaigns and flows entirely from the Chatarmin dashboard.

Automated Flows

Close to 1,900 orders in 4 days. That's an average of 468 orders per day, each triggered by a single WhatsApp message. With an average order value of €87.50, these are real basket sizes.

The WhatsApp Strategy

Multi-step campaign sequences

Multi-step campaign sequences

Four days, four deals. bedrop structured the campaign as a multi-day sequence. Each day had its own offer and its own reason to engage. That kept the channel relevant throughout the campaign and drove subscribers back every day.

Exclusive offers and codes

Exclusive offers and codes

Every "goodie" was exclusive to WhatsApp subscribers. The deals ran on this channel only and were not visible in the regular shop. That makes revenue directly attributable and gives the community a concrete reason to stay subscribed.

Relevant content, not mass messaging

Relevant content, not mass messaging

bedrop segments recipients by purchase history. Existing customers receive different content than new customers. Regular propolis buyers get propolis offers. Manuka honey fans get manuka deals. Relevance over volume.

Scarcity and time limits

Scarcity and time limits

Each deal ran for one day only. The offer went out in the morning and was gone by evening. For a community that knows the brand and trusts the products, that drives immediate action. 1,874 orders in 4 days prove the urgency works.
