Brands can now respond to Instagram DMs, story tags, and comments directly, providing seamless and convenient experiences for consumers. What’s more, Instagram Messages is packed with service-rich features. For example, Quick Replies present the customer with a set of buttons in the conversation for the user to reply with. Whereas Ice Breakers — which appear when a customer interacts with your brand via messaging — present to the customer a brand-defined menu of frequently asked questions. Both improve the customer experience and issue resolution time.
Drive commerce across the customer lifecycle
Facebook has packed Instagram with a host of sales and marketing capabilities. The most notable is Instagram Shop, a mobile-first shopping experience that allows businesses to easily create online and customizable storefronts on Instagram.
Checkouts on Instagram also allow businesses to sell their products directly. Consumers can purchase products that they discover securely and seamlessly using Facebook Pay, without leaving the app.
Unified conversational customer experiences
Unified Conversational Customer Experiences – The asynchronous nature of Instagram Messages means that conversations can pause and resume at the customers’ convenience. This enables brands to improve the customer experience with two-way brand-to-consumer communication that is effortless and unique throughout the customer lifecycle for sales, marketing, and customer service alike.
