This way, customers have options that make sense for them to communicate with businesses. And businesses only need to create one website chat widget that services site visitors in the messaging channel that makes sense.

hort message service (SMS) marketing uses text messages to increase customer engagement and sales.

SMS marketing is an effective way to promote your brand or products to an audience who regularly communicates with others using their smartphones (in other words, basically everyone).

An SMS campaign could include coupon offers to reward loyal customers or bring new customers into the store.

Marketers can use SMS marketing to promote contests in an effort to gain new leads and increase customer loyalty.

Businesses can also send out SMS polls to learn about customers and their preferences, and tailor future communications according to their interests.

Businesses can also promote sales or events through SMS messages.

An SMS Bot is a chatbot or software application you can develop to support conversational content via text messaging. SMS is the most widely used feature on mobile devices, with 97 percent of U.S. adults using it at least once a day.

With an SMS Bot, you can develop a conversational interface that helps answer customer questions, handle responses and, ultimately, drive engagement without the need for downloading a messaging application. Chatbots leverage natural language processing (NLP), which makes it easier to design interactive conversations.

SMS chatbots are used by marketers to send mass messages including surveys, promotions and customer care updates to relevant customers regarding their respective transactions.

SMS chatbots can also be programmed to accept the customer’s text replies, usually relying on a programmed menu of options (e.g., “Type ‘CONFIRM’ to confirm your appointment tomorrow or call us to reschedule.”) to further the conversation.

Text messaging is the fastest way to communicate with customers on a personal level. SMS chatbots make it easier to engage with your audience in order to drive customer loyalty and sales.

With the majority of consumers already using SMS, marketers that integrate chat bots as intelligent assistants and automation can provide consumers with effortless and seamless personal assistance at their fingertips.

Many consumers are familiar with text messages from their service providers. Additionally, brands can use texting for more immediate sales-related offers such as vouchers, discounts, promotions and even personalized birthday messages.

Not only do chatbots help businesses personally answer large volumes of common questions, they also enable companies to meet consumers’ growing preferences to solve problems via messaging versus waiting on hold to talk with a company representative.

• Chatbots make customer service available 24/7.
• Chatbots save time and money.
• Chatbots reduce people-to-people interactions with customers.
• Chatbots reduce stress for consumers.
• Chatbots eliminate Interactive Voice Response systems.

Nearly every type of industry uses SMS marketing to some degree. The top 10 industries using SMS marketing include:

• Retail
• Restaurants and Hotels
• Real Estate
• Finance
• Travel Industry
• Healthcare Industry
• Nonprofit
• Organizations
• Recruiting Agencies and HR
• Salons
• Insurance Agencies

Various sources report SMS open and response rates as high as 98% and 45%, respectively. Email open and response rates, on the other hand, are 20% and 6 percent. And, on average, it takes 90 seconds for someone to respond to a text, and 90 minutes to respond to an email.

In recent surveys, 75% of people have suggested that they would be happy to receive an offer via SMS. 65% of marketers say that SMS marketing is an effective method. 85% of adults check their emails on a daily basis, and about 81% of American adults use SMS each day.

SMS is more popular among younger generations. 18- to 24-year-olds receive and send an average of 128 texts per day, compared to just 16 for those aged 55 and over.

There are a number of instances where SMS marketing will help maximize your ROI, including when you’re sending out:

• Deals and coupons
• Meaningful content that’s straight to the point
• Information to keep customers in the loop
• Personal alerts, e.g. notifications and account updates
• Quick access to important information
• Information to customers who don’t want to visit apps or websites

When a business of any size, from small to enterprise, begins using SMS as a customer communication channel, they are likely going to require mass messaging and automation capabilities. This is where chatbots come into SMS communication with customers.

Of course, there are small businesses that text with customers one-on-one. It’s not uncommon for office administrators to send out text reminders to that week’s appointments.

But as soon as you want to send automated messages — including order updates, appointment reminders — or message everyone on your list about a special sale, then you’re looking to SMS chatbots to do the work.

Can SMS chatbots have back and forth conversations with customers over text? Yes, to the degree that you program the conversation. We recommend providing a decision tree for the SMS recipient, such as “type ‘1’ for yes”.

Give SMS subscribers a clear call-to-action for the appropriate response in the text conversation.

SMS marketing campaign analytics are readily trackable within MobileMonkey chatbot analytics. Identifying customers engaging via text message and monitoring delivery rates are all possible with MobileMonkey OmniChat tools. By using these analytics, businesses can create further targeted campaigns and continually build a better understanding of their mobile database. 

Additionally, campaign success may also be measured by the number of coupon code redemptions for promotions. You may also review the average order value of customers redeeming SMS promotions to measure campaign effectiveness.

SMS is also a great channel to get feedback from your customers via surveys. Research shows that on average 31% of consumers will respond to a survey via SMS with the average response time for users being just over 5 minutes.

By profiling and segmenting out numbers that are least likely to respond by SMS, they save money and improve ROI when engaging with those customers via other marketing channels. 

Facebook Messenger marketing is the use of Facebook Messenger chat as a communication channel with prospective customers. Facebook Messenger marketing is a lot like email marketing. Except instead of using email to send promotions and drip campaigns, it’s all done using Facebook Messenger and largely with Facebook Messenger chatbots. 

Everything that’s possible with email is also possible with Facebook Messenger marketing. Except when you use Facebook Messenger, you can do a lot more with email, and you can do it faster. Plus, the engagement rates are far higher than normal email engagement rates. 

Facebook messenger marketing with chatbots provide enormous power for marketers. In fact, MobileMonkey enables businesses to build a free chatbot that is interactive, meaning that the Messenger bot can ask questions, get information, segment customer types, and get a wide variety of information from the customer. 

The concept behind Facebook Messenger marketing is simple — it’s a marketing channel that uses Facebook Messenger. And the applications are immense and promise a huge new opportunity for marketers in any industry. 

A chatbot is a computer program that launches specific events or conversations. A Facebook Messenger chatbot does all of this on a Facebook Messenger specifically. Don’t let the term chatbot cause you to misunderstand the nature of these bots. 

Many chatbots simulate human conversation through a conversational interface (CUI). Chatbots are web or mobile conversational user interfaces and make it possible for humans to interact with computers in a more natural way. Facebook Messenger chatbots can be programmed to function as conversational interfaces. 

Yes, chatbots can chat with you, similar to how you’d chat online with a human. But bots can do more than just chat. Chatting is simply the framework that the bot uses to prompt a whole lot of other interactions. Many of the sequences and chatbot tools in MobileMonkey are less about chatting and more about selecting options. 

Messenger marketing chatbot services are the biggest marketing channel that has opened up in the past ten years. We predict that it will remain the hottest channel for the next decade or longer. 

Early adopters — those who tend to pick up on new technology quickly — will be the ones who benefit the most from Facebook messenger bots. By 2020, 85% of customer-business communication will not require any human communication from the business. Messenger marketing allows marketers to stay ahead of the curve and gain the most value right now. 

To use a chatbot on Facebook Messenger, you’ll first need a Facebook Business page. Then the rest will be worked by the Automated Assistant.

The primary benefit of using Facebook Messenger marketing is that it allows you to reach a large number of potential customers at scale on a personal messaging platform. Messenger apps are one of the largest marketing channels and they have the highest effectiveness rates.

To maximize the impact of Facebook Messenger marketing it’s essential to use Facebook Messenger chatbots. Chatbots allow you to execute and automate marketing tactics such as drip campaigns, chat blasts, surveys, and customer service functions. A single Messenger bot or chat blast takes a few minutes to make but can reach tens of thousands of people individually. 

Beyond reaching customers at scale, Facebook Messenger marketing has very high click-through and engagement rates — 10x to 80x better than conventional Facebook display ads or email marketing. 

Nearly every type of industry and vertical is using Facebook Messenger marketing to some degree. The functionality of Messenger marketing is useful for any type of business — B2C, B2B, selling products, or service.

Increasingly, many influencers are also using Facebook Messenger marketing with chatbots. By creating a Facebook Business page, influencers integrate Messenger bot functionality, build chatbots, and reach fans at an unprecedented scale. 

The top twenty industries using our Automated  Chat Bots Assistant are as follows:

• Product/Service
• Consulting Agency

• Clothing (Brand)
• Shopping & Retail

Facebook Messenger bots allow you to achieve massive scale. If you were to attempt to reach out and reply to all your customers on Facebook Messenger individually, it would be impossible.

You can send Messenger bots to thousands of recipients at once, and automatically reply to each inquiry

Facebook Messenger bots also have high read rates and click through rates, much higher than email and conventional Facebook ads.

These are the average read and open rates of our users:

• Average read rate in Facebook Messenger: 80
• Average click-through rate in Facebook Messenger: 20%

Facebook subscription messaging is a tool provided through Facebook that allows businesses to send regular messages to people on their contact list. It’s called subscription messaging, because the recipient agrees to be subscribed to the Facebook Business page that is sending the message.

Business Pages must apply for subscription messaging from their page settings and receive manual approval from Facebook. Once approved, business are allowed to send non-promotional messages to their subscribers.

Facebook Messenger ads are native Facebook ads that have “Send Message” as the call to action. They look just like conventional Facebook ads, but when users click through, they are invited to send a message and join your Messenger contact list. Typically, this launches a Facebook Messenger bot sequence with the new contact that helps to drive conversions.

It might be better to ask what can a Facebook Messenger chatbot not do? The easy answer is Facebook Messenger chatbots can do a whole lot. But a more thorough answer is as follows:

Broadly, Facebook Messenger bots can do these things:

• Grow your contact list
• Segment users according to type/interest/size, etc.
• Replace a large portion of customer service requests and inquiries
• Interact with customers using in an instant and interactive one-on-one platform
• Onboard customers
• Lead nurturing
• And a whole lot more…

Specifically, Facebook Messenger bots can do these things:

• Change a reservation or flight time – Sure, we can change your flight time. You prefer the 12p flight 1981 from ATL to LGA?
• Check a reservation status – Yes, we still have the Queen Anne penthouse suite reserved for you on Saturday. Check-in time is at 3 pm.

You just need to get our service and we will be the one to set up it.

You can automate Facebook Messenger marketing by using Messenger bots. To use bots, simply create a MobileMonkey account, connect your Facebook Business page, and you’re set. Automating Facebook Messenger is one of the most powerful marketing moves that a modern business can make. Life of Automation makes this process simple, fast, straightforward, and at a very low cost.

Yes. Most customers today prefer messaging businesses, as opposed to calling or emailing them. Most businesses have taken heed, and are using some form of live chat to service their customers.

The only way to deliver ultra-fast and scalable response times on the messaging platform where your customers are most likely to interact is by creating a chatbot. Man businesses choose to create an automatic Facebook Messenger responder. When the customer clicks “Send Message,” the page automatically responds by acknowledging the inquiry.

The superior method of responding to your customer is with an entire bot sequence. A sequence will lead customers through a logical chain of events, much the same way that a telephone menu provides a series of options that a customer can work through to receive the help or answers they need.

Facebook Messenger is an app that allows users to exchange messages, similar to text messaging, using an online connection. Messenger chat is only one component of Facebook Messenger. Users can have voice calls, video calls, group voice/video calls, use photo filters, send attachments, voice messages, and a wide variety of other features.

Facebook Messenger chatbots expand this functionality by allowing users to answer questions and surveys, sign up for events, secure tickets, get shipping updates, and a lot of other helpful information.

Your Business Page will not get banned. However, you can have your page messaging capabilities limited or suspended if you abuse Messenger and get tons of complaints. Even if your Business Page’s use of Messenger is banned, that doesn’t impact other facebook marketing channels like your Page, Facebook group, Facebook ads, Instagram, etc.

The most common reason for a Facebook Page being restricted from some Messenger capabilities is when a lot of people start blocking your Messenger bot. If this happens, your Page will receive a message from Facebook that reads like this:

Limits have been placed on [Facebook Business Page name]
This page is restricted from the use of message tags, subscription and broadcast messaging, and sponsored messages. Your page will still be able to respond to messages according to standard messaging permissions.

To get the ban lifted, you’ll need to write a request to Facebook. It can take them a long time to respond, since Facebook Messenger bans are administered and reviewed manually (at the time of writing.)

Again, there is no chance of your page getting banned from Facebook due to Messenger violations. The limitations come in the form of Messenger capabilities (usually message tags, subscription and broadcast messaging, and sponsored messages).

The reason why a page receives this penalty is typically due to high block rates. If users are blocking your page, this signals to Facebook that you’re doing something with Messenger that is annoying your users.

There are three possible reasons:

1. The user doesn’t know how to unsubscribe from receiving messages, so they choose the block option.
2. You are sending messages too frequently.
3. Users do not like the content of your messages.

To avoid being banned on Facebook Messenger, keep a close eye on your block rate. If this begins to increase, try to determine why it might be the case.

From your Facebook Business page, click “Insights,” then “Messages.” Your block rate will appear as a percentage number at the top of the page next to the number of messaging connections you have.

When you start using Facebook Messenger marketing and Facebook Messenger chatbots specifically, you’ll want to check this number on a weekly basis to make sure that your block rates are staying below 3%.

Be sure to toggle the dates to understand how your block rates average out over a weekly, monthly, and quarterly basis. Weekly fluctuations above 3% might happen, especially if you’ve engaged in an aggressive chatbot marketing effort, but if it stays above that rate for a longer period of time, you should make adjustments.

The most important thing to do is provide your users with a clear unsubscribe message anytime you start sending a bot sequence. The first thing you should say in any sequence is “Reply with STOP to unsubscribe.”

This advice applies to users you are inviting to your Messenger contact list for the first time and recipients that are accustomed to receiving your messages. Offering unsubscribe instructions creates an easy way for users to opt out without resorting to blocking you. Plus, it provides a sense of safety, knowing they have a recourse to withdraw from the message sequence if they want to.

Here are some additional tips for reducing the likelihood of your page being blocked:

• Moderate the pace of your Messenger bots. Sending a dozen or so messages in a few minutes time is probably too many for most users.
• Monitor the tone of your messages. Anything strident or annoying will probably result in a few blocks.
• Schedule messages at times that are convenient for your users (not 2 in the morning).
• Always provide clear instructions on how to unsubscribe from the Messenger sequence.

Each of these capabilities is supported in MobileMonkey, and are easy to implement in any Facebook Messenger chatbot.

Not yet. According to indications from Facebook, you should be able to use chatbots on Instagram and Whatsapp in 2020, or at some point after Facebook merges all three messaging platforms — Messenger, WhatsApp, ad Instagram.

No. Facebook Messenger bots only work with business pages. It’s easy to set up a Facebook Business page, and you can use your Business Page for a lot of different purposes — even as your own personal brand page. Once you have a Facebook Business Page, you can do as many things with Messenger chatbots as you want.

Usually, this takes the form of a simple “Can we help you” question that opens a conversation in Facebook Messenger.

The second way that people can access your Messenger bot is through your Facebook Business page.

If a customer sends a message to your Facebook Business page, they will be added to your Messenger list.

To create a Messenger chatbot, all you’ll need is a Facebook Business page and a Messenger chatbot builder.

A Facebook bot is a computer program that creates and controls a phony Facebook account. Please note that Facebook bots are different from Facebook Messenger bots. Messenger bots are programs that automate tasks and messages in Facebook Messenger, and are 100% valid and trustworthy.

Most Facebook Messenger chatbots today are created using a chatbot builder. Messenger chatbot builders are online apps that allow users to create an account, connect their Facebook Business page, and then start developing a Messenger bot without having to do any coding.

There are many types of Messenger chatbots. One of the most common types of chatbots works a lot like a website navigation menu. You present the user with a list of options from which they can choose. For example, a restaurant chatbot might have four options — Make a Reservation, See the Menu, Order Food, More Information. Users then select the option that is most relevant to them.

Other chatbots are specifically designed to get information from users. These lead generation Messenger chatbots often provide an offer to the user, but require some level of information before the offer can be finalized. For example, you offer your leads free tickets to a webinar, and in the process of applying for the free ticket, you secure their email address and other information.

The most straightforward way of monetizing Messenger bots are by driving conversions through chatbots. For instance, a restaurant can facilitate online orders through their chatbot, an agency can pre-screen leads who have $15,000 monthly ad spend, a personal trainer can schedule a free one-on-one consultation with a potential client, and a real estate agent can schedule showings for the properties has listed.

Marketing agencies can monetize bot creation, by offering this service to their clients. Many customers are willing to open up an additional high-value marketing channel, and want to outsource this project to their marketing agency. Agencies and freelancers can offer a one-time cost per chatbot creation (e.g., $600), and then a monthly payment for maintaining the chatbot (e.g. $50).

The reason why chatbots are one of the fastest-growing marketing channels available today is precisely because they drive such high engagement and are so easily monetized.

Chatbots can help acquire customers much the same way that email attracts customers — by engaging them and presenting them with an offer. In fact, chatbots have far higher open rates and click through email rates than email.

One of the most direct ways to drive conversions through Facebook Messenger is with a lead generation bot. This bot presents potential customers with an offer, and allows them to funnel through to a consultation call or other conversion opportunity. Another technique, drip campaign Messenger bots, nurture a lead through a series of questions and answers that can also increase conversions.

Customers will join your Messenger list through a variety of different sources — on your website, a landing page, your Facebook Business page, a boosted post, a click-to-messenger ad, or even a Messenger scan code.

Hundreds of millions of people already use Facebook Messenger in their regular day-to-day communication method. When presented with an opportunity to interact with a business on Facebook Messenger, it’s easy and appealing. For this reason, you can rapidly grow your Facebook Messenger list, and, in turn, your number of customers.

It’s easy to create a Messenger chatbot specifically designed for lead generation. Life of Automation has a lead generation template that allows users to get a free ticket to an event. You can, of course, customize it for any kind of free offer you have — a white paper, a download, or some other, etc. The chatbot then. 

In addition to generating leads, you can also qualify leads using a Messenger chatbot. When you qualify these leads, you can boost your conversion rate while also reducing the time required to vet new potential clients.

Generating leads and qualifying leads using Facebook Messenger is highly effective, saving time for marketers, increase lead quality, and lowering overall cost per acquisition.

Based on customer engagement rates, the answer is a clear yes. Most Facebook Messenger subscribers remain a subscriber for the long term, even though opting out at anytime is available. Furthermore, with 80+% open rates and 20+% click through rates on most messages, there is strong indication that customers appreciate using bots.

Messenger bots are a highly convenient way for customers to get information, place orders, get updates, and interact with the business without having to interact with a human. Besides, since Messenger bots are available 24/7, there is the added convenience of constant availability.

It’s probably no surprise, but Facebook Messenger is a brilliant tool for surveys and feedback. For far too long, marketers have depended on clunky and/or intrusive apps, popups, emails, or other forms of gaugaing customers satisfaction.

It’s notoriously difficult for customers to fill out surveys, which means that many marketers are forced to incentivize these surveys, leading to diminished or untrustworthy results.

Facebook Messenger chatbots are a new solution. A survey using Messenger bots are quick and interactive, which motivates customers to reply and continue through the completion of the survey. If you choose, you can also provide rewards to users for completing the survey, also facilitated using a Messenger chatbot.

According to data from Facebook, there are more than 80 million Facebook Business pages, but only 300,000 Messenger bots in use by these pages. This indicates a huge disconnect between the potential of chatbots and the actual utilization of chatbots.

Facebook Messenger chatbots are always on, every day, all the time. In fact, this is one of the primary reasons that marketers love chatbots so much.

The data says yes. And there’s really no contest. Facebook Messenger chat blasts, a type of Messenger bot, has 70-80% open rates in the first sixty minutes. Most chatbots have a 20% or higher click through rate, compared with the less than 5% with email.  Live chat functionality, of which Facebook Messenger chatbots are at the helm, increase the likelihood that customers will buy a product or service. A 20% lift in conversions and a 305% boost in ROI has a major bottom line impact!

• Messages on desktop small view: Underneath your sent message, you’ll see the following gray text: √ Seen 10:10 AM (or whatever time the recipient read the message)
• Messages on desktop larger view: To the right of the message, you’ll see the recipient’s profile picture if they’ve viewed the message. When you mouseover the message, it will display the date and time that they read the message.
• Messages on mobile app: A date and time will appear in light gray below the read message.

There’s little that a chatbot can’t do from a customer service perspective. As a result, savvy managers are aggressively pursuing more bot-automated customer service functions. It’s easy to see why. In 2016, BI Intelligence estimated that chatbots could save more than $60 billion in salary costs.

Customer service Messenger bots can do the following:

• Track orders
• Provide delivery times
• Send receipts or invoices
• Make reservations
• Schedule meetings
• Provide tickets
• Create coupons
• Send satisfaction surveys
• Get directions
