This is the best way to reach a new audience in order to create a brand awareness, promote leads and sales, increase app downloads and also drive traffic to your website.

Drive People to your Messenger Chats

When you are growing a business, you need to set your customers as your priority. And customer service is an important part of it.

To get started with click to messenger ads, you need to define your audience on the basis of certain demographics like age, gender, keywords, interest, etc.

You can leverage the benefits by allowing a bot to do all the customer service jobs. Here is what can do with such ads-

• Allow Customer Service- As mentioned, you can easily let your customers know that you’re just a click away whenever they need you. Happy customers are the key to any successful business.

• Create Brand Awareness- Now that you’ve started to use click to Facebook messenger ads, it has become a way easier to you for telling people about your brand and try turning them to your potential customers. As people can easily reach you out and ask you about any issues or general information, you have more chances to spear a word about your brand and services.

Retargeting with Sponsored Messages

And now when you already have a bunch of people who have reached you through the messenger app, it’s time to turn them in your potential customers by “retargeting” them.

The people have already contacted your business through the messenger app are the highly targeted audience for you, such people have already proved that they are interested in a service like yours. And would even need it at some point. Such ads have maximum ROI as compared to any other ad type.

If you are planning to run sponsored ads then it is important to stay active and responsive if you have re-engaged customers. Here are a few tips for getting started with Sponsored Ads-
