Messenger Chatbot<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Many customers oftentimes abandon shopping carts while making a purchase on your website.<\/p>\n<p>It could be because of any possible reason other than not being interested in your product or not willing to purchase at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the reason might be it\u2019s important for you to set up a reminder for them to complete their purchase and in order to do so, a more personalized and smarter way would be to use a Messenger chatbot.<\/p>\n<p>Ask your website visitors to subscribe to your messenger bot this could be in exchange for a discount code, some special access (or anything that would intrigue them enough to subscribe to your messenger chatbot), etc.<\/p>\n<p>Once they\u2019re subscribed to your messenger bot, even if they left before completing a purchase you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goreminders.com\/how-to-send-appointment-reminder-texts\">setup reminders for these customers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So why not just email follow up?<\/p>\n<p>Because, if the customer had simply forgotten a chatbot can remind that there\u2019s an email ready with their cart details and they can simply complete the purchase through it.<\/p>\n<p>Aaaand\u2026 if there was an issue completing the order, your chatbot will gather data from that particular customer and you can help them out personally. This will also come in handy making purchase processes smoother.<\/p>\n<p>On the flip side, you can send follow up emails to customers but the chances of them going straight to their spam\/promotion folders can be a risk of either getting ignored or taking too long that the customer loses their interest.<\/p>\n<p>However, you can use chatbots to redirect your customers to that specific <a href=\"https:\/\/www.helpdesk.com\/learn\/business-email-writing\/follow-up-email\/\">email follow up<\/a>. This will ensure a better response rate and of course, faster conversion.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Open_rate_click_rate_%E2%80%93_Messenger_Chatbot\"><\/span>Open rate &amp; click rate &#8211; Messenger Chatbot<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Now this one is very interesting and thought-provoking.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, a messenger chatbot would follow up on a message sent by users who interacted with it themselves or liked the page at the very beginning.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the messages chatbots send have a <a href=\"https:\/\/hashtagdms.com\/chatbot-marketing-vs-email-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">70-80% open rate<\/a> and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.socialmediatoday.com\/news\/chatbots-vs-email-marketings-newest-rivalry\/529397\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">15-60% click rate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to email follow up, these statistics are pretty shocking, no?<\/p>\n<p>Wondering why?<\/p>\n<p>Well, email open rate across most industries on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartinsights.com\/email-marketing\/email-communications-strategy\/statistics-sources-for-email-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">average is below 25%<\/a> and only 4% click-through rate.<\/p>\n<p>The main reason why there\u2019s such a drastic difference between the two is, chatbots have so much data available. It can improve the user experience more and more as they converse, because of machine learning.<\/p>\n<p>There are bots available out there, completely indistinguishable from that of a human support agent &#8211; unless the business wants to be transparent about it, customers can\u2019t tell a difference.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"No_Spam_User-initiated_contact_%E2%80%93_Chatbot\"><\/span>No Spam, User-initiated contact &#8211; Chatbot<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The difference between email follow up and messenger chatbot open and click-rate is affected by the direct user actions.<\/p>\n<p>This includes liking and following the page, commenting on the posts, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.scalefusion.com\/mdm-silent-installation-android-ios-apps\/\">installing the application<\/a> of that business and of course, initiating conversation in messenger themselves.<\/p>\n<p>So when a user chatbot is assigned to take follow-ups on these users, there is a higher chance of them opening the message and even clicking on any given CTAs.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, emails are rarely scheduled and just distributed when and where needed from a business point-of-view.<\/p>\n<p>Well, have you ever wondered why so many emails go ineffective and right into the spam folders?<\/p>\n<p>There is a very subtle difference between a spammy and user-requested content within an email follow up if you compare them side by side and there is no sure way of not ending up in the spam folders.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you want to make sure your emails aren\u2019t ignored as often, chatbots can be of help, as we discussed above.<\/p>\n<p>Enough with pitting chatbots against email follow up &#8211; we understand both these mediums are useful and important in their own ways, but let\u2019s discuss\u2026<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"followsup\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Chatbot_Follow-ups_on_prospects\"><\/span>How Chatbot Follow-ups on prospects?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Botsify offers the auto-sequence feature for those who like to keep users in loop.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Got a customer who could upgrade to your pro-plan?
