As soon as a business owner begins their scaling journey with Manychat, it's only a matter of time until they encounter Meta's dreaded 24-hour and 7-day rules. If you're not familiar, I'm sorry to be the one to break the news... You can't DM or otherwise contact anyone in your Manychat contact list unless they've messaged YOU in the past 7-days. Even worse, you can't send any automated messages if it's been just 24 hours or more 💀 Because of this, there are countless businesses owners like myself with tens or even hundreds of thousands of contacts in Manychat that I can't even use... Good news! 🎊 If you leverage Instagram's Broadcast feature, you'll be able to collect opt-ins everyday that allow you to send targeted BLASTS directly to the DMs to anyone who's opted in.... every. single. day. All you need to do is apply and integrate the opt-in to your flows. Using this feature, we were able to bring one of our clients, @officialtravelsquad, over SEVEN THOUSAND DM subscribers in just under two weeks (example opt-in attached). What does this mean? That whenever they want to reach their most engaged audience with an 88% open rate (email marketers will lose their mind here), it's only a simple flow and button press away. If you aren't currently using the broadcast feature, be sure to comment below or DM me, and I'll help you set it up free of charge 🥳
