There’s no shortage of ways to grow your business online. While some can be generic or outdated, and not in line with how customers buy products, others can be unique and engaging—which can increase sales. And, who wouldn’t like that?. 

In an overly populated digital world, it’s essential to create fun and relevant shopping experiences on the right channel, at the right time. Meet Chat Marketing. And what’s even better; ManyChat is your shortcut to engaging messages. The drag-n-drop tools make it easy to create interactive marketing campaigns that get people to buy. 

Ready to liven up your marketing campaigns with Chat? Here’s how to connect 3dcart with ManyChat today.

Why connect your 3dcart store with ManyChat?

Store owners and marketers get five key advantages when using the ManyChat and 3dcart integration:

  • Grow your subscriber lists with ManyChat Growth Tools. Create mobile-friendly opt-in tools for your store to turn visitors into subscribers. Adjust the design, placement, and timing, then publish it to your site with one click. 
  • Create relevant 1-on-1 conversations with customers. Build engaging omnichannel campaigns in ManyChat’s Flow Builder to chat with customers through SMS, Messenger, and email. It’s one of the fastest, easiest way to send post-purchase follow-ups, collect product feedback, and drive sales. 
  • Send targeted promotions to drive more sales. Tap into your own customer data to create Facebook and Instagram ads that increase sales and customer reach. Track ROI and interactions inside ManyChat to see which ads strategies make you more money. 
  • Deliver automated abandoned cart messages. Send abandoned cart SMS, email, or messages in Facebook Messenger to follow-up with people who don’t complete a purchase in your online store, automatically, to increase revenue and win back lost sales. 
  • Use Live Chat to connect with customers in real-time. Let a human talk with website visitors, anytime, anywhere. With ManyChat’s mobile app (available in the App Store and Google Play), you can chat with customers right from your phone to help solve problems and make sales.
