Bella Home’s DMs Are Closing More Deals Than Their Storefront — Here’s Why

Luxury furniture, meet your high-converting match.

Bella Home isn’t just serving looks; they’re serving sales. On a silver platter. All powered by a slick combo: beautiful content and conversations on autopilot.

With 550K followers on Instagram, they knew how to capture attention. But turning that into conversions? That’s where Manychat came in.

They paired Insta-worthy content with Click-to-WhatsApp ads and convo flows, and boom! Browsers turned into buyers. 

Furniture envy became shopping urgency.

The Challenge

Bella Home had the Instagram followers. The furniture. The in-store experience. But online?

Too many leads (a good problem). Not enough bandwidth. And zero ways to keep convos feeling personal at scale.

And don’t even ask about follow-ups. They were slower than dial-up. Leads? Lost in the inbox abyss.

They needed automation with a human touch, and a system that could scale without falling apart.

The Goal

The mission was clear:

• Capture more leads.
• Speed up the sales process.
• Turn IG engagement into in-store visits and purchases.

And do it without hiring five more humans or losing their minds in the process.

How it Works

We’re breaking it down, step by step. 

Step 1: Launch WhatsApp-ready ads with CTAs

Bella Home promoted content on Instagram with a twist. Each post and ad had a WhatsApp CTA. One tap, and shoppers went straight into a WhatsApp convo.

And with our free “Go From Instagram to WhatsApp” template, you can do this, too.

Step 2: Let automation break the ice with zero awkwardness

Once inside WhatsApp, Manychat automations kicked off. Leads got product info, received personalized replies, and could even book in-store visits before a human ever needed to step in.

Step 3: Humans only where it counts

With automated flows handling FAQs and tire kickers, the human sales team only jumped in when it mattered most.

Step 4: Adjust and scale like a pro

Using Manychat’s Dashboard and Meta’s metrics and insights, Bella Home tracked every click, convo, and conversion. Which campaigns hit? Which offers flopped? They knew. They adjusted. They grew.

The Results

• 7,500+ monthly leads captured via Manychat
• 5% conversion rate (from convo to purchase)
• 80% of all sales now come from digital

Yup, most of their sales now start with a single tap.

Why This Works (And Why You Need it, Too)

The old way: Post pretty pics. Hope people show up. Miss DMs. Lose leads. Cry in your ads dashboard.

The new way: Click. Chat. Close. Repeat.
