How To Get More Bookings With Facebook Messenger Bots
Do you want to find out how to get more bookings with facebook messenger bots? Chances are if you run a service based business such as a carpet cleaner, car detailer or in pest control this is going to really help you out!
I have no doubt that you have tried several different methods to generate new bookings through social media, and if you’re like most business owners, none of them have been super effective.
Perhaps in the past you have tried boosting posts, running giveaway competitions, or maybe even paid local influencers to promote your business?
And while this may be the case, surprisingly, many business owners have never tried the one of the most powerful marketing tools available to actually convert interested viewers into booked appointments. And that of course, is Facebook Messenger Bots…
To really simplify this topic, allow me to explain what a messenger bot is. Basically, a messenger bot is an automated messaging software, which interacts with people who enquire about your business on Facebook.
What this means, is that when an interested person makes an enquiry, a ‘messenger bot’ can automatically pre qualify them by asking asking a series of questions and giving answers based on how the interested person replies.
These questions could be asking for a phone number, email address, suburb, job request, just about anything you can think of a messenger bot can ask!
One of the best aspects of this awesome tool is that messenger bots are programmed to only respond based off how the interested user responds.
So for example. if the messenger bot asks for a phone number, but the interested person doesn’t reply, the bot won’t continue asking questions, meaning your business won’t come across as needy, or worse yet, like a spammer!
So that all sounds great right? The ability to have a robotic program speak with people enquiring about your business sure would save you a lot of time every week responding to messages!
But wait, there’s more!* Sorry for the cheesy phrase, when it comes to bots, there really is so much more to the picture than just asking for email addresses and phone numbers.
Now, the program that we use for all of our clients, and that we recommend is called ManyChat. We’re a certified ManyChat agency, and we may be a little biased towards this program, but it’s for good reason.
ManyChat is very easy to use and setup, and it has dozens of great additional features that will have you up and running like a pro in no time,
Some of these benefits include:
Text messaging services: That’s right, once you generate someones phone number through Facebook messenger, you can then add them to your SMS list, and send out routine, bulk text messages as you please.
Email: Email is another great feature of ManyChat, much like the SMS feature, once someone enters their email into Facebook messenger, you can add them to your list and send out up to 1000 emails a month for free!
Booking calendar: Yep! ManyChat can integrate with your Calendly account, which allows people to book in for your services within Facebook Messenger.
Payment gateway: Last but not least, you can also take payments through Stripe within ManyChat. This means that you can easily take a deposit for a job, or the whole fee all within Facebook Messenger!
All of these epic features come included with any ManyChat Pro account ($10 per month). And they all work synergistically to really up your social media game.
