Business / Read This If You Sell Or Plan To Sell On Social Media by collins30: 12:34pm On Jan 21, 2020
This simple change will make you more money even with the same things you have been doing on Instagram

Thats if you want to triple your Instagram profits

You keep posting and posting everyday, dancing on videos, using hashtags, joining follow trains and after thousands of people have visited your profile, they just leave without buying.

To change it, you must understand that there are two major pillars to becoming a successful Instagram Vendor

Visibility:
This is the number of people who get to see your post. This is what most of your gurus talk about. It is influenced by number of followers, paid or organic, number of engagements you do on others page and how many is done on your page.

Conversion:
This is the one you have been messing up with. It is how you say what you say that turns readers to customers and strangers to repeat clients. This is how you use your words when making posts. If you get this right, you will be making sales even if you have only 200 followers

The words you use determines if someone sees your post and stops to read more and even buy because of what you wrote or if the person scrolls away.

Instagram allows you to post a picture and a caption but all this while you have been improving on taking good pictures but you have not bothered to improve on your writing and that is why you have over 5k profile visits yet no one is buying.

This is what you have been writing: Come and buy your sweet and healthy yoghurt.

This is what you should say: Our low fat, home made yoghurt was specially prepared for mothers who just want the creamy taste of yoghurt while taking breakfast without the unnecessary calories that come along with it. To order, just send us a dm and you will get your carton of yoghurt within 24 hours, no matter where you are in Nigeria.

You are already salivating for the yoghurt right? Thats what you want your customers to do

To help you create awesome and effective headlines, I am giving out for a very short time, a Step by Step Guide To Creating Social Media Captions

Celebrities / You Have Only 24-36 Hours In A Month To Conceive; Not During Menstruation. READ. by collins30: 8:43am On Jul 12, 2018
A lot of people think their menstruation period is their fertility period while some others think it just happens.

These are all wrong as ovulation is the real pregnancy deal and not menstruation.

The process of conception is a highly complicated process that requires explicit care. For some people though, it just happens but for some others (actually one in four couples), it does not just happen.

For we to go forward, we need to understand the female reproductive system

Each month inside your ovaries, a group of eggs start to grow and after some time, they need to escape from the ovary and move to the fallopian tube and waits there for ONLY ABOUT 24 HOURS after which they die and move to the uterus.

All this happens about 2 weeks before or after your period.

That 24 hours is referred as your fertile time and that is the only time when you can conceive from meeting with your partner, so calculating your fertile time is very crucial if you need to get pregnant.

Investment / Why Every Smart Business In Nigeria Needs To Run Facebook Adverts by collins30: 11:30pm On Apr 27, 2018
There seems to be a lot of buzz on Facebook and Social Media on how they are able to bring in more customers.

People who have mastered the art of making the internet work for them are cashing out big time and all they show others is how much they have made and how their lifestyle has changed since they came in contact with the internet.

Others who have not understood the way it works just keep on groping around in the darkness and hoping that one day, they will also fall in line.

Well, that’s part of what this post is about – to let you in on secrets that your competitors know that has enabled them to go light years ahead of you.

While there are many ways to catch the bird, we will be looking at just one with the potential of turning your business around.

As a matter of fact, this is the singular trick that has set me apart.

We’re talking about Facebook adverts.

This post will be dealing on reasons why every smart business owner in Nigeria needs to run Facebook adverts.

Cheapest Paid Form Of Advertising Worldwide
I can prove this to be true but don’t take my word for it, look at what others like Brian Carter of moz.com is saying about the cost-effectiveness.



While I know that people are used to traditional methods of advertising businesses, the calculation below will prove otherwise.

Fliers: It will cost you at least 8000 naira to print 1 thousand copies of fliers (I know it is costlier than that but I don’t use it so I really care less how much it cost).

That means that you are paying 8 naira per view of your business.

Billboard: Depending on your location, a big billboard will cost a minimum of 40,000 (certainly not in places like Lagos and Abuja) and will be viewed by say 5000 people or let’s raise the bar to 10,000.

At 10,000 people, cost per view is 4 naira.

Facebook Ads: My poorest ad which was long ago was viewed by 1000 people for 500 naira which stands at a rate of 1000 people for 50kobo (do people still use kobo?).

When you run a more optimized advert, you are sure to get more views at a cheaper rate.

High Targeting Capabilities
Have you ever seen a female sanitary product on television (and you are male) and wished they didn’t waste your time to show you that advert? In the end, it even makes you develop a form of hatred for that product as you will view them as pest disturbing your life.

It is not so on Facebook.

Facebook allows you to target the right audience that your business needs and this is one area that I love very much.

I can target only men or women, I can target a particular age grade, I can target according to location (say Lagos or Enugu or Kaduna) and different other forms of targeting obtainable in the platform.

Unlike traditional methods that just put the word out there for everybody to see, Facebook helps you reach the right people.

Someone made a joke that you can even target the President of a country on Facebook if you know the how to run effective ads, and it is the truth.

Your Audience Resides On Facebook
Everybody is on Facebook these days.

Some joined out of curiosity, some joined because they need more business, some joined because they don’t want to look like the odd one out, others joined for a variety of reasons but by and by, everybody is on Facebook.

Facebook has over 2 billion users and over a billion users that log in every day.

As a matter of fact, we are not just talking about having an account on Facebook, let’s look at it practically.

Enter a restaurant or any public place that has a television and check the number of people viewing the television against those looking at their phone.

Every single time I have checked, the number of phone users trump that of television viewers.

If you now decide to give them fliers at that moment when they are looking at their phone, you are sure that nobody will look at the flier.

Old men are there, young people are there and certainly, your audience is waiting for you there.

Fastest Way Of Breaking Into A New Market
Highly Converting Sales Copy

So you have a new product or let’s say you are new to the market and people don’t know about you before.

They would have even developed loyalty with a competitor in the industry and you are looking for ways to break into the scene and cause them to look at you instead of your competitor, then Facebook is the way for you.

I once worked with a client who brought in new cosmetics product into the country and wanted to makes sales with ease, obviously, I ran adverts for her and within 5 days and an ad spend of just 3000 naira, she got over 15 new customers who you’re sure will keep on patronizing her.

If you know any rules of marketing, you will know that Facebook adverts are the best all over the world right now.

Increased Revenue
Saved the best for last.

Like we earlier stated in the beginning, the aim is to make sales. If you are not making sales, you are dying.

Facebook adverts don’t just get you views and visibility, it gives you sales.

And depending on the type of business you’re running, the customers keep on coming back for more.

Like the story of the client who sold beauty products and many other stories not said here, Facebook brings instant sales to your business.

Truth be told though since there are many things that Facebook ad does, likewise, they are many pitfalls that one can fall into while running Facebook adverts and that’s why some people who failed at it will try to debunk all the goodness of Facebook adverts.

These are just five out of many more reasons why you need to run Facebook ads and if you are doing this, I bet you, you don’t know how much you are dashing to your competitors.

Like we said, there are quite some complications to Facebook adverts and that is why we are creating a course that teaches you how to do it for yourself.

Normally, we run Facebook ads for companies (we still do), but since we can’t help every company that comes to us, we are developing a course so you can run it on your own and you can join the waiting list here.

But if you need expert help NOW, you can reach out to us and we will see if you meet the requirement for us to help your business as not everybody attains the qualification.

I once worked with a client who brought in new cosmetics product into the country and wanted to makes sales with ease, obviously, I ran adverts for her and within 5 days and an ad spend of just 3000 naira, she got over 15 new customers who you’re sure will keep on patronizing her.

If you know any rules of marketing, you will know that Facebook adverts are the best all over the world right now.

Increased Revenue
Saved the best for last.

Like we earlier stated in the beginning, the aim is to make sales. If you are not making sales, you are dying.

Facebook adverts don’t just get you views and visibility, it gives you sales.

And depending on the type of business you’re running, the customers keep on coming back for more.

Like the story of the client who sold beauty products and many other stories not said here, Facebook brings instant sales to your business.

Truth be told though since there are many things that Facebook ad does, likewise, they are many pitfalls that one can fall into while running Facebook adverts and that’s why some people who failed at it will try to debunk all the goodness of Facebook adverts.

These are just five out of many more reasons why you need to run Facebook ads and if you are doing this, I bet you, you don’t know how much you are dashing to your competitors.

Like we said, there are quite some complications to Facebook adverts and that is why we are creating a course that teaches you how to do it for yourself.

Normally, we run Facebook ads for companies (we still do), but since we can’t help every company that comes to us, we are developing a course so you can run it on your own and you can join the waiting list here.

But if you need expert help NOW, you can reach out to us and we will see if you meet the requirement for us to help your business as not everybody attains the qualification.

Business / 4 Factors To Help You Determine Which Business To Do by collins30: 11:27am On Mar 16, 2018
A lot of people want to get into business but are unaware of which business to start or plunge into.

Today they are interested in selling shoes, tomorrow it is agriculture and the next it is affiliate marketing.

The society also does not make it easy for people to make a choice because people will discourage you from choosing the one you have decided on; making theirs a credible option.

In this post, we bring you six factors that will aid you in choosing which business to start.

It must first of all be stated that this is just a guide and you (just like everybody) is liable for every decision you make in life.

I will also say that you should have a personal decision-making system that works for you determined by your God or your desire in life.

Moving on, let’s get started with the list below

PASSION
Everybody has something they love. Something that makes them tick.

They can do it for long without getting tired.

A billionaire once said, “I have never gone to work for one day in my life”. Well he has but what he means by that is that he enjoys it so long, it doesn’t feel like work.

The point is that people think they cannot make money from their passion but it is a lie.

Anything you love can be translated into a business.

One huge advantage of following your passion amongst many reasons is that your love/passion will help you weather the storm when they come. It will act like a fuel that keeps propelling you to live the dream.

PROBLEMwinning business plan
This here is a sure way of making money because people make money by solving problems. The bigger the problem you solve, the richer you are.

This work for people who are more money oriented (it is not bad to be money oriented).

While passion can keep you for long, problem-solving gets you the cash (after which you can fund your passion or retire to your passion).

People who choose this path are majorly people who don’t have the luxury of time or resources, people who are aiming for the kill immediately.

You can start this by looking around for problems that abound in your locality, and problems never finish.

Are you looking for problems to solve?

When you step out next time, look around you carefully and observe:

the things you wish they could get better
people are suffering from or complaining about
something that people have that is not sufficient or has stopped existing
While they are many ways to get a problem to solve, these should suffice until we make a whole post.

PERSONALITY
I have a huge dream/desire to dictate my terms of living; choose the time I sleep and wake up, work from any part of the world and I love working alone so I started a business that accommodates such luxuries.

Some others love the corporate lifestyle where they wear suits and tie and attend board meetings.

It seems a lot like the passion you have but this is about understanding your personality, strengths, and ambition.

If you are an extrovert, love meeting people and talking, you should consider jobs like selling and marketing, real estate and network marketing.

If you are an introvert, works like coding, graphic design and writing would fit you.

Some others are better at managing and relating with people while others love teaching and imparting knowledge.

Sit down, check yourself and write down 1000 (or 500 if that is too much) word composition about yourself, give it to someone who knows you and makes sure you are not lying to yourself, then make a career option based on your strength


LONGEVITY
It is necessary that while choosing the business to start, you stick to something that is already dying off.

Imagine starting a cyber café or nitel installation service?

You’re building into the past.

Look at the trends. Look at the world and new innovations coming up and start something that clings to such business ideas.

The business you want to start, can it stay for the next 30-50 years without dying a natural death.

The world is moving in the direction of e-commerce, artificial intelligence, virtual reality and such delicate innovations.

These are the things you want to be involved in.

No matter what you have access to in any niche, be ready and willing to incorporate technology into it.

If you want to sell shoes, what about selling it throughout the country using the internet.

If you want to teach people, do it over the internet.

If you want to provide business to business services, utilize the internet.

These 4 guides should give you enough clue as to which business to start.

It is necessary to note that:

It will not be easy. It doesn’t matter if Mr. A started it yesterday and is driving a Bugatti. All work requires hard work for the work to work
Everything can be started small. Start by selling to one person, then five before thinking of selling to hundred.
Don’t take more than a week to think. Thinking and deliberating is good, even great but you must know when thinking becomes laziness and naivety.
Your mindset about business and life makes all the difference

Business / How Chatbot Can Help In Your Marketing Strategies by collins30: 7:09pm On Feb 20, 2018
Sometime last year, we noticed a new feature in our facebook messenger interaction with a top social media strategist.

He sent us a couple of automated messages in facebook messenger and while we realized it was automated, it looked so real like he was the one personally chatting us up.

Wondered how he did it and what new thing has happened in the Facebook space.

We sort of forgot it for some time until much news and benefit of facebook chatbot came ringing everywhere.

The hype was so much, people said it is finally the doom of email marketing.

We felt it will be nice to take it into the laboratory to figure out more about it, how it works and if it performed better than the normal and wonderful email marketing automation.

CHATBOT DEFINED
A chatbot in our simply defined English is a computer program that allows users to communicate with the computer in such a way that seems like the user is talking directly with a human.

An example: I want to inquire about the price of a certain commodity from the sellers of the product so I send a message to the authorized platform given by the seller and I get a reply immediately with my question answered in such a manner that looks like a human was the one giving me the response at the time.

In the case, this does not answer your question you can read more about chatbot here

FACEBOOK MESSENGER CHATBOT
We will be specifically looking at facebook messenger chatbot.

It’s the new kid on the digital marketing block and is really disrupting the way we do our marketing.

It is the closest to email marketing and seems to even be better than email.

You can do a lot of things on the chatbot like:

thank you messages
order confirmations
shipping notifications
upselling messages
newsletter and general communications
cart recovery
informative articles
customer care
service sign-up / lead generation
We will start by looking at chatbot marketing strategies and even compare it to email but we will leave you to decide which one is actually better for your business.A

6 VITAL WAYS TO BUILD A STRONG BRAND USING SOCIAL MEDIA

6 RIGHT MINDSETS FOR THE NEW YEAR

SAVES STRESS:

If you in anyway use technology in your business, you will realize that one of its greatest upsides is its ability to save you stress and energy.

Imagine being able to send out series of messages to thousands of people without having to do it manually or log in every time you have to send the message.

With messenger chatbots, it even gets better.

Here you can automate even conversation and not just your series.

You can set it up in such a way that it gives specific answers to questions, majorly questions that are always asked by your customers, thereby making it a form of Frequently Asked Question but this time with a semi-human form.

INCREASES ENGAGEMENTS:

Statistics have shown that while email has about 25% open rate and 3% click-through rate while messenger has about 95% and 50% click-through rate.

The point of talking is to be heard and if only 25% of your audience is hearing what you are saying then you need to re-strategize.

But with messenger chatbot, you are getting 95% open rate and if that does not shake you, then I don’t know what will cause this is nothing short of an awesome development.

INCREASES SALES:

You must have also noticed that you are not only ensured of getting your message heard, you are also assured of higher sales by virtue of its higher click-through rates.

Imagine you have a good sales copy and great product backed by an audience of 100,000 in your messenger chatbot.

When you broadcast your sales copy to your audience and achieve a 90% open rate (90,000) with a 45% click-through rate (45,000).

Even if you get to sell to 10% of those that clicked, you are selling 4,500 of your product and that is WHOOPING!.

That is the magic of facebook messenger chatbot marketing.

Highly Converting Sales Copy

GETS YOU A HAPPY CUSTOMER:

You realize that when a brand you respect answers your question promptly and in a human form, even though you realize that it is a bot talking with you.

With good tweaking, you can even make it look like a conversation where you hold the user clicking and getting deeper and deeper.

In the end, the user feels a unique experience that doesn’t particularly look like a marketing strategy thereby leaving you a happy customer.

Another way to see this is that while email marketing looks like a statement, messenger chatbot marketing looks like a conversation.

And unlike email, it has the ability to allow the user put a call across to you without leaving the space with its call option.

EASY SALES AUTOMATION:

The chatbot also allows you to set up automated messages just like email but this gets better because the user can initiate the conversation and get every sales information needed without you even needing to type anything.

A user can come to a chatbot and just type in cake, the bot brings you a list of cakes available in the store and you can choose the available ones while presenting you with the prices of each cake.

MAKE PAYMENTS:

After reading through the options as stated in the previous point, It actually also allows you to make payment on the platform.

So it entirely has the ability to handle your every sales function without you lifting a hand or being active on your social media platforms.

MULTI-CHANNEL SETUP:

Seeing as you might have people in different areas other than facebook, chatbot was also created to integrate seamlessly with all other platforms.

It has its website plugin that helps you sign up people to your chatbot with just one click or no click at all.

It allows for people that comment on your post to automatically sign up to the chatbot list and even as much as gives you a landing page.

ANALYTICS:

They also understand that you would love to see your analytics, see the open and click-through rate and all this is available in the chatbot.



After all this, the only reason I prefer email to messenger chatbot is the fact that you really own the list in email.

You never can tell what other policy facebook will come up with tomorrow that will snatch off your list or render your page useless.

In any of this circumstances, my personal recommendation is to, first of all, get them to your chatbot list then also lead them to the email list.

Anyhow you want to look at it, chatbot really rocks.

NYSC / 4 Serious Businesses You Can Do As A Corp Member by collins30: 3:05am On Feb 12, 2018
Some people had huge plans of how the 19800 paid by the Federal Government was going to be the solution of all their problems only to get to their service station and realize it is nothing compared to their huge appetites or growing needs.

Others have already seen huge money while in school so have formed the mindset that the 19800 was nothing to count on.

There are others who flexed their entrepreneurial muscles in school and loved the thrill of business, so doing a business in their service year was a no brainer.
Then there are the people who have heavy responsibilities waiting for them at home and they are expected to not only survive but to also send money back home seeing as the parents have taken their hands off him and he is the one to join in the training of his younger ones.

Whatever be the case, corpers soon realize that the Federal Government salary will not be enough so they seek out ways of making more money while serving.
While we can debate the fact that it is possible to live and thrive on 19800, that is not the subject of this post.
We want to unveil 7 businesses that any youth corper can do while serving.

1. Housing Agent
Corpers will always have the problem of housing themselves in the new environ they entered and solving that problem is something that has the potential of going you serious money.
If you are already serving in a state and have taken out time to know the state and their housing prices, you can easily do this business.
All you have to do is liaise with the landlords and make prior arrangements with them before the next batch of corpers enter.
When they enter, you paste posters of accommodation or talk to as many as you can about your solution to their problem.
If you are able to convert 10 people at 5000 naira profit each, that’s almost your 3 months salary.
Downside to this business is that there seems to be an unwritten law that states corpers can’t be agents to corpers seeing as you are both strangers in the land.
In anambra, where I served, I didn’t see much of it, though it might be that I didn’t notice or nobody had the idea and tenacity to carry out.
Whatever be the case, try it out and see if it works in your state.

2. PRIVATE LESSONS
I heard a story of a guy who was particularly a mathematics guru but was posted in the north to teach during his services year.
While teaching, parents started meeting him to tutor their kids privately in mathematics so he picked it up as a challenge and bent down to study mathematics so as to know what he will teach.
He got good at it and had a lot of clients who loved him and paid him well and while he was discharged, he had received a lot of gifts from his clients.
Virually, 80% of corpers will be teachers in secondary schools.
If you are given the privilege of being a teacher, nothing stops you from teaching the students privately and making serious extra bucks.
People don’t know that private tutoring is a serious cash cow in Nigeria.
It can be your only source of income and you will still live fine and when you add it to your portfolio as a teacher, you are making serious money.
It works better for subjects like English, mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology but not to despair if that is not your area. You can still do this business and make money.
It can give you as much as 50k every month.
Make friends with the students, be a great teacher by knowing what you teach, meet their parents and talk it over with them. They will be glad that a young guy or girl is trying to make something out of his life and not just pressing phone.

3. PRODUCT TRADE
I had intentions of doing this but didn’t really have the time to do it as I had other money projects I was working on.
Most people will be thrown very far away from their normal habitat and culture to a place they have never known or gone to before, instead of whining and complaining, you can use it to your advantage.
You can buy goods that are cheap in your area and sell it for a huge amount of money in your new environ as it will be scarce and costly.
It involves some real planning and strategy but it works and people have done it.
You can buy palm oil in the east and sell in the north.
You can buy yam from benue and sell in bayelsa or any place you are.
You can buy cheap stuffs from Lagos or Onitsha and sell in costlier parts of the country like Abuja or Port Harcourt.
You get the point.
It has a lot of risks like transportation and all other risks of selling physical products like market penetration but if you plan well, you can do it and completely ditch your salary.

4. INTERNET BUSINESS
The internet rocks right now and there is much work you can do on the internet to make you money as as a side hustle.
There are emerging jobs like content development, social media management, social media marketing, mini importation or these that you can do and make serious money on the side so much so that you no longer need for your salary.
Click on this link to get a free guide on internet businesses you can do m.me/bizworldafrica
It is necessary that we youths understand that our destiny lies in our hands. While we can complain and post on social media about how the government can increase the salary, we can do something with our lives.

This post was made so that you can do much more with your life and make so much money that you get to forget about the government salary and when your mates are anxiously waiting and crying for government to pay every month, you are living large and smiling to the bank always.

Do you need questions on how to go about doing any of these businesses or more and need help, you can comment here.

Make friends with the students, be a great teacher by knowing what you teach, meet their parents and talk it over with them. They will be glad that a young guy or girl is trying to make something out of his life and not just pressing phone.
3. PRODUCT TRADE
I had intentions of doing this but didn’t really have the time to do it as I had other money projects I was working on.
Most people will be thrown very far away from their normal habitat and culture to a place they have never known or gone to before, instead of whining and complaining, you can use it to your advantage.
You can buy goods that are cheap in your area and sell it for a huge amount of money in your new environ as it will be scarce and costly.
It involves some real planning and strategy but it works and people have done it.
You can buy palm oil in the east and sell in the north.
You can buy yam from benue and sell in bayelsa or any place you are.
You can buy cheap stuffs from Lagos or Onitsha and sell in costlier parts of the country like Abuja or Port Harcourt.
You get the point.
It has a lot of risks like transportation and all other risks of selling physical products like market penetration but if you plan well, you can do it and completely ditch your salary.
4. INTERNET BUSINESS
The internet rocks right now and there is much work you can do on the internet to make you money as as a side hustle.

Business / Stick To Your Marketing Script by collins30: 12:43pm On Feb 05, 2018
You've successfully produced and launched your product/service and you can't wait to tell the whole world the beauties of your masterpiece.

Then you go about deploying your creative juices, showing off your product in diverse colours and stories.

Please stop it already.

Dont answer Ebuka today and become Emeka tomorrow.

Be consistent. Stick to your script.

Imagine MTN adding green to their yellow or Super Eagles wearing red.

Its as confusing as it is counterproductive.

The number of options consumers have concerning a particular product (e.g phone) is already confusing.

Your inconsistency makes it more confusing for them so they drop you like hot akara without thinking about it.

-------------------------------------------------

Consistency creates trust.

Increases your chances of being remembered.

Being remembered increases your chances of being patronized.

It also puts you off as a strong brand.

A particular industry in Nigeria that is seriously utilising this is the photography industry.

-------------------------------------------------

But I'm not as rich or big as MTN, you say.

To that I'll say: Don't you want to be as big as MTN?

Do you bake cake?
Use the same logo and colours in all your cake pictures.

Do you make bags and shoes?
Put an inscription of your company in your works.

Maybe you're as good as having many followers in your social media account....

Have the same logo throughout the different platforms and don't compromise the colour or logo.

Dont go off ranting about government issues today, sports tomorrow and religion on your business account except you're using trending issues to sell your goods.

Be cold or be hot or be spewed out.

Business / How To Get Over 90% Open Rate (BETTER THAN EMAIL) by collins30: 9:47am On Jan 23, 2018
Sometime last year, we noticed a new feature in our facebook messenger interaction with a top social media strategist.

He sent us a couple of automated messages in facebook messenger and while we realized it was automated, it looked so real like he was the one personally chatting us up.

Wondered how he did it and what new thing has happened in the Facebook space.

We sort of forgot it for some time until much news and benefit of facebook chatbot came ringing everywhere.

The hype was so much, people said it is finally the doom of email marketing.

We felt it will be nice to take it into the laboratory to figure out more about it, how it works and if it performed better than the normal and wonderful email marketing automation.

CHATBOT DEFINED
A chatbot in our simply defined English is a computer program that allows users to communicate with the computer in such a way that seems like the user is talking directly with a human.

An example: I want to inquire about the price of a certain commodity from the sellers of the product so I send a message to the authorized platform given by the seller and I get a reply immediately with my question answered in such a manner that looks like a human was the one giving me the response at the time.

In the case, this does not answer your question you can read more about chatbot here

FACEBOOK MESSENGER CHATBOT
We will be specifically looking at facebook messenger chatbot.

It’s the new kid on the digital marketing block and is really disrupting the way we do our marketing.

It is the closest to email marketing and seems to even be better than email.

You can do a lot of things on the chatbot like:

thank you messages
order confirmations
shipping notifications
upselling messages
newsletter and general communications
cart recovery
informative articles
customer care
service sign-up / lead generation

We will start by looking at chatbot marketing strategies and even compare it to email but we will leave you to decide which one is actually better for your business.A

SAVES STRESS:

If you in anyway use technology in your business, you will realize that one of its greatest upsides is its ability to save you stress and energy.

Imagine being able to send out series of messages to thousands of people without having to do it manually or log in every time you have to send the message.

With messenger chatbots, it even gets better.

Here you can automate even conversation and not just your series.

You can set it up in such a way that it gives specific answers to questions, majorly questions that are always asked by your customers, thereby making it a form of Frequently Asked Question but this time with a semi-human form.

INCREASES ENGAGEMENTS:

Statistics have shown that while email has about 25% open rate and 3% click-through rate while messenger has about 95% and 50% click-through rate.

The point of talking is to be heard and if only 25% of your audience is hearing what you are saying then you need to re-strategize.

But with messenger chatbot, you are getting 95% open rate and if that does not shake you, then I don’t know what will cause this is nothing short of an awesome development.

INCREASES SALES:

You must have also noticed that you are not only ensured of getting your message heard, you are also assured of higher sales by virtue of its higher click-through rates.

Imagine you have a good sales copy and great product backed by an audience of 100,000 in your messenger chatbot.

When you broadcast your sales copy to your audience and achieve a 90% open rate (90,000) with a 45% click-through rate (45,000).

Even if you get to sell to 10% of those that clicked, you are selling 4,500 of your product and that is WHOOPING!.

That is the magic of facebook messenger chatbot marketing.

GETS YOU A HAPPY CUSTOMER:

You realize that when a brand you respect answers your question promptly and in a human form, even though you realize that it is a bot talking with you.

With good tweaking, you can even make it look like a conversation where you hold the user clicking and getting deeper and deeper.

In the end, the user feels a unique experience that doesn’t particularly look like a marketing strategy thereby leaving you a happy customer.

Another way to see this is that while email marketing looks like a statement, messenger chatbot marketing looks like a conversation.

And unlike email, it has the ability to allow the user put a call across to you without leaving the space with its call option.

EASY SALES AUTOMATION:

The chatbot also allows you to set up automated messages just like email but this gets better because the user can initiate the conversation and get every sales information needed without you even needing to type anything.

A user can come to a chatbot and just type in cake, the bot brings you a list of cakes available in the store and you can choose the available ones while presenting you with the prices of each cake.

MAKE PAYMENTS:

After reading through the options as stated in the previous point, It actually also allows you to make payment on the platform.

So it entirely has the ability to handle your every sales function without you lifting a hand or being active on your social media platforms.

MULTI-CHANNEL SETUP:

Seeing as you might have people in different areas other than facebook, chatbot was also created to integrate seamlessly with all other platforms.

It has its website plugin that helps you sign up people to your chatbot with just one click or no click at all.

It allows for people that comment on your post to automatically sign up to the chatbot list and even as much as gives you a landing page.

ANALYTICS:

They also understand that you would love to see your analytics, see the open and click-through rate and all this is available in the chatbot.


After all this, the only reason I prefer email to messenger chatbot is the fact that you really own the list in email.

You never can tell what other policy facebook will come up with tomorrow that will snatch off your list or render your page useless.

In any of this circumstances, my personal recommendation is to, first of all, get them to your chatbot list then also lead them to the email list.

Anyhow you want to look at it, chatbot really rocks.
