So here are 3 smart ways to use Facebook Messenger for marketing.
#1: Remind Customers About Appointments
If you allow clients to book appointments with you on Facebook using the “Book Now” button, then you should be using Facebook Messenger to follow up and remind them about their appointments. Messenger will send an automated reminder 24 hours before the scheduled appointment.
#2: Answer Frequently Asked Questions
Most businesses have Frequently Asked Questions on their websites, but you can use Facebook Messenger to provide responses to your followers as well. Setting up automated FAQ is a good way to make sure that questions are answered quickly. It will also help turn on the badge that lets customers know that you respond quickly to messages.
#3: Keep People Informed About Changes to Your Business
Facebook Messenger can be a useful tool to keep your followers informed of changes related to the pandemic. You’ll need to set up a chatbot and then ask your followers to opt in to receive content via Messenger. Once they do, you can send them your latest blog posts or newsletter right in the Messenger app, keeping them up-to-date on any news related to your business.
Facebook Messenger is more than a fun way to connect with friends. If you use it properly, it can be a powerful marketing tool that allows you to connect with your customers on a personal level, boost your conversions, and increase your profits to grow your business.
