Chat aka Messenger Marketing- Should You Be Using It?
Published 02/02/2021
Chat (or Messenger) Marketing is producing incredible results for the businesses using it as a part of their overall marketing strategy. It replaces more traditional funnels and email marketing strategies to produce higher quality leads, lower costs per acquisition, and higher conversions.
Here are 16 reasons why you’re leaving money on the table if you aren’t leveraging the power of Chat Marketing in your business yet:
1. 1.3 billion people use Facebook Messenger, compared to 1 billion on Instagram: that’s 23% of the world’s population over the age of 13, and they’re using Messenger to communicate with brands.
2. There are 10 BILLION messages sent between people and businesses on Messenger every month. Messenger is where conversations happen, and nothing beats a conversation for closing sales. According to research, consumers would rather chat in real-time with businesses than talk on the phone or email.
3. There are more people actively using messenger apps than social media apps since 2015, with the gap between them increasing every single year.
4. 85% of mobile messaging app users in the world use a Facebook messaging product. There are 1.82 billion mobile phone messaging app users worldwide and growing. Of this number, more than 1.6 billion use WhatsApp and 1.3 billion use Messenger worldwide, although the percentage is skewed the other way in the US and Canada, with more users on Messenger than on WhatsApp.
5. Facebook has 2.74 billion monthly active users. There is simply no other platform that offers this kind of reach.
6. Messenger adds 100 million new users every 5-6 months on average.
7. Compared to these numbers, there are only 300,000 chatbots in use on Facebook Messenger. That’s just 1% of all businesses. This means that there is a HUGE untapped potential for businesses not using chatbots to scale their Messenger Marketing efforts and grow their marketing outreach in 2021.
8. 80.5% of mobile Facebook users across the world access the app on Android. Only 14.3% use iOS. This means that while the new iOS updates are definitely something to be aware of and plan around, this shouldn’t stop businesses from continuing to use Facebook as their #1 marketing platform (or at least #2 if you’re also leveraging the power of YouTube). Speaking of the new iOS changes, Facebook’s metrics and algorithms will now work best with marketing strategies that keep their users ON their platform vs taking them to external landing pages and funnels. Hello hello, Messenger Marketing!
9. 54% of American social media users say Facebook is the platform they use most often. Yes, they’re using other social networks, but Facebook is the one most people use most often. Only 16% say they use Instagram most often, and 5% name Twitter as their most-used social media site. Are you making a personal connection with your audience on Facebook?
10. 18.3% of US adults made a purchase through Facebook in the last year, compared to 11.1% for Instagram and 2.9% for Pinterest. Want to leverage social media to make more sales? Focus more of your efforts on Facebook and Messenger marketing, because nothing leads to a sale faster than a conversation.
11. ⅔ of Facebook users visit a local business page at least once a week. How much money are you leaving on the table by not having a ‘Message’ button on your Facebook page, and a bot to serve more people, on a more personable level without making them wait hours or days until you can get back to them?
12. Facebook Messenger marketing has 10-80 times better engagement than email marketing. Email has an average of 18% open rates and a 1% clickthrough rate, while Messenger averages 80% open rates and 20% clickthrough rates. These are based on reported metrics, although I have personally seen clickthrough rates of 30-50% consistently with the Messenger bot campaigns I run for my own clients.
13. Facebook has an advertising audience of 2.14 billion, while an average Facebook user clicks on 12 ads per month. That’s one every 2.5 days, per user. This metric is weighted towards women, with women clicking on more ads per month (15) than men (10). Are your marketing stats reflecting this crazily high clickthrough rate?
14. Facebook Messenger ads can reduce cost per lead by 30x or more– when done correctly. I have personally seen cost per leads reduced from $5-7 a lead to a mere $0.62 just by switching to click to Messenger ads!
15. Using a chatbot funnel to collect leads vs a more traditional funnel can boost your conversions by 20x or more. Take a look at the graphic below to understand why, keeping in mind that these numbers are just an average and based on my own findings with service-based businesses in particular. They vary wildly based on the industry, your audience, your messaging, the quality of your marketing elements and of course, your pricing structure. That being said, Messenger Marketing has the capability of being so much more powerful than a traditional website funnel plus email marketing set up! This holds true even with the percentage of sales dropping at the very end and having to rely on a website sales page at the end of a bot funnel in order to make a sale on a digital product or service:
16. And finally, Facebook’s user acquisition is at the lowest it’s ever been, but its messaging app’s user acquisition is higher than ever, and continuing to grow in leaps and bounds. Facebook’s recent major shuffle indicates that the company is pushing its Messenger apps in its hopes to lift revenue. While it has historically made the bulk of its revenue from the Facebook app itself, its messaging apps might now be taking over. What this means for you as a business owner advertising on Facebook: the algorithm Gods will work in your favor if you keep your audience engaged on the Facebook platform itself. And what’s the #1 tool in Facebook’s suite of apps that has the highest engagement rate in the US and Canada? You guessed it- welcome to riding the fastest growing advertising wave right now: Messenger Marketing.
