Whoever receives your blast must opt-in first to get the conversation going. Just delightfully convince them to get the job done.
Messenger button on Facebook Ads
This feature puts a “Send Message” button on the ads that are promoted by you in the user’s news feed. Instead of opening the business page, if the user is interested in your offer, they will directly initiate a Messenger chat session to get further details regarding the offer.
These kinds of ads are relatively cheap when compared to regular Facebook ads. Whenever someone decides to get to your Messenger chat, the Facebook chatbot takes over.
These kinds of interactions are more intriguing than the offer on your Facebook business page. You can also set the bot up so that the user can choose to talk to a real person at any time.
