Make it Easy to get in Touch With Your Business

Messenger gives your business a fast and convenient way for people to get in touch to schedule appointments, ask questions about your products and services and more. And it allows you to build personal connections with your customers. Now, you can create a Facebook News Feed ad that opens a Messenger conversation between your business and your prospective customer.

Create an Ad

How it Works

When a person clicks or taps on your ad in News Feed, a conversation with your business will immediately open in the Messenger app (if the person is on a mobile device) or on the web (if the person is on a desktop computer). People can return to this message conversation at any time on any device with Messenger installed to continue the conversation.

Promote Your New Offerings

Use your ad to promote new or seasonal offerings and engage your customers in a personal real-time conversation.
  • Tip: Use a greeting message, that people will see when the Messenger conversation opens, to start a conversation with your customers and let them know when to expect a response from you.

Offer a Discount

Use News Feed ads that open a Messenger conversation as a unique way to provide a coupon code and a personalized experience for your customers.
  • Tip: Save time by using saved replies for the common questions you answer such as store hours or location. Saved replies are templates of messages you can create and save and then reuse when responding to your Page's messages.
