Boosting posts allows you to increase the reach of your posts and attract more interactions. 

By turning a post into an ad with a click to WhatsApp, you can direct communication to a specific audience by choosing characteristics such as location and interests. This way, you facilitate direct contact with customers and initiate conversations that can lead to sales.
