About Webinar

With over one billion active users, Instagram has emerged as one of the most popular social media channels in recent times. Each month over 130 million users engage with shopping posts on Instagram. We wish to highlight what it means for brands to be on Instagram and leverage a captive customer base that’s looking to interact and engage! Businesses can target these users by leveraging Instagram features such as highlights, stories and direct messaging. This requires businesses to step up their conversational messaging capabilities and have the ability to respond quickly to share timely and relevant information

However, there is a significant variance in the conversational experiences that businesses currently deliver on Instagram. Can they respond instantaneously? Can they engage with users who have liked their stories? Above all, how can they elevate the customer experience with robust messaging, automation support that enables seamless and contextual conversational threads. By leveraging Instagram for Business API, brands can optimize their customer communication workflows and offer a seamless engagement platform. Instagram messaging helps businesses respond quickly and communicate in a personalized manner, enabling brands to build trust and loyalty and better engage with their customers.

With this session, we hope to show how to make the most of Instagram by driving meaningful conversations, increasing customer satisfaction, and boosting sales!
