Whether it is mainstream or digital media, both industries have some constant driving motives – willingness to sell products or services and desire to connect with as many people as possible at a time.
As a business, it is a general aspiration to make the company more profitable.
Usually, making profits is concerned with finances and money. However, that is not the case every time. Researching the market and making customers happier is also a way of generating long-term profit margins for a business.
After-sales service is also crucial for a brand to maintain its performance and growth. You can hire dedicated sales executives, marketing executives, or customer representatives to ensure a good brand reputation and consumer experience.
A happy customer is a lead magnet, and if you can make your existing consumers happy, they automatically become your sales representatives because they will tell their friends and family about your brand and encourage them to try your stuff.
So by combining excellent products with robust after-sales service, you can leverage the power of word-of-mouth marketing for your business.
When it comes to the digital sphere, you should also focus on emerging platforms which enables you to reach your customers on a more personal level while ensuring a great user experience.

Evolve Media agency has utilized ManyChat features to skyrocket the number of webinar registrations for one of its clients.
Before using ManyChat, they utilized paid social media campaigns and email marketing. Then, they shifted their focus to Facebook Messenger Chatbot to explore how many registrations they can get through this trending messaging platform.

Improve Cost Per Lead by More Than 50%
The game of digital marketing is all about generating more sales and getting more leads for the company. The more leads you gather, the better the chances for your company to thrive in the industry.
When it comes to lead generation, there are dozens of ways to gather details of your prospects and communicate dynamically.
Evolve Media has also executed a lead generation campaign using messenger Chatbot developed through ManyChat.
Before using Messenger Chatbot, the company was using paid social media ads on Facebook to collect details of the prospects.
In other ways to generate leads, the users are forced to fill out the lead generation form to give their details. However, through Facebook Messenger, users will have an interactive conversation with the brand. This will break the ice and make users comfortable in providing their information.
Evolve Media has the same experience. After integrating ManyChat Facebook Messenger Chatbot, the company observed that their lead generation campaign’s result through Messenger Chatbot was far better than the results they had achieved through usual Facebook lead generation campaigns.
They were not only able to generate more leads but convinced users to keep getting updates and messages on their Facebook Messenger.
In the long run, the brand was able to stay in touch with prospects through Facebook Messenger.
When the company compared their cost-per-lead through ManyChat’s Facebook Messenger Chatbot with cost-per-lead through Facebook ads, the results were startling. Cost-per-lead through Chatbot was around $4 while Facebook advertising spent $10 per lead.
In less than half of the price, the company was successful in connecting, entertaining, converting prospects into leads.

Whenever users comment on your Facebook post, it shows that they are interested in your content. Now how about an arrangement where you can automatically connect with the Facebook users who comment your Facebook post?
If you can do that, you can dynamically improve your customer outreach with much less effort compared to the manual work of connecting with people through Messenger.
ManyChat has a feature called Comment Growth Tool, which allows you to send follow up or direct message to the Facebook users who comment on your post.
As shown in this video, all you have to do is connect your Facebook post with ManyChat, which will keep track of the comments and send messages at your scheduled time.
In our example, the company wanted to promote a giveaway of their client by connecting with the users through Facebook Messenger.
So first, they shared a pre-launch post of their upcoming giveaway. They asked the user to comment on a particular keyword to know more about the giveaway.
With the help of pre-launch post, they were able to capture more than 2,000 Facebook messenger leads before the actual campaign began.
This method then followed by the actual launch post where users have to comment to participate in the giveaway.
Furthermore, they utilized the messaging automation feature of the ManyChat by telling the users to invite their friends and family. This way, more people came to know about the brand and participated in the giveaway.
The agency again requested the participants to follow the client’s Instagram profile to increase participants’ chances of winning.
This way, they not only generated brand awareness and media buzz on Facebook, but they also got new Instagram followers with the help of ManyChat’s features.

Sell Online Course and Achieve a CPA of $0.18
A digital marketer promoted WeChat to Chinese vendors. The idea here was to sell a course about how to use WeChat as a marketing tool and help businesses target customers using the messaging platform.
So, the agency integrated ManyChat to utilize Facebook Messenger to advertise WeChat. In the end, the campaign spent around $29 and launched more than 150 conversations by the end of the campaign.
First, the advertiser created a Facebook post, wrote a winning ad caption, and applied a call-to-action button, which was redirecting users to Facebook Messenger.

This whole process will ensure that your conversation looks legitimate, and users don’t feel that they are talking with a computer program.
Furthermore, with the help of Facebook Messenger, you can interactively collect details and utilize the same data into your CRM, which will let you monitor your campaigns and use the data for other online marketing streams like emails, social media, etc.
