While acquiring new users are important, re-engaging with those already showing interest in you is also something you shouldn’t overlook. One of the easy, effective ways to do that is using the Facebook Sponsored Message.
What are sponsored messages?
Sponsored messages are a type of ad on Facebook Messenger that allows you to send a direct message to customers who already have an open chat with you. They look just like a normal message in the notification. It will only be labeled as ‘Sponsored’ when the customer reads the message.
Because of how well it blends with normal messages, sponsored messages are easy to get noticed. More importantly, they stay in the inbox after customers open it! So even if they get distracted and forget about the message, they can take a look at it later at their convenience.
However, keep in mind that sponsored messages are an ad - meaning that they are subject to bidding competition from other businesses. Additionally, there is a daily limit on the number of sponsored messages a subscriber can receive. So you may need to reconsider sharing time-sensitive messages. Examples of use cases for sponsored messages are:
Share a promotion
Announce a new collection release
Invite customers to an upcoming event
Announce a pre-order of a new product
