Advertising on Facebook has been around for a while. It’s practically a granddaddy in the world of online marketing.
Facebook Messenger Ads are ads that appear either on the newsfeed or directly in people’s Messenger inboxes and small businesses to connect directly with potential leads.
And they’re great options for local businesses. They allow you to personalize ads and connect directly with the people who are most likely to buy from you.
Here are a few ways that you can use Messenger ads to boost your profits:

It allows you to tailor your offers in a highly feasible way to result in a sale.
2. Give customers the response time they want
With Messenger Ads, you can automate your replies to ensure that potential customers aren’t stuck waiting for a response from you. An, in case you don’t know, people prefer messaging to any other form of customer service.
Research shows that 73% of consumers prefer live chat to email, and 56% of clients prefer Messenger to a phone call.
3. Start a conversation
Lead nurturing is something that you can do one-on-one with Facebook Messenger Ads. You can even customize your newsfeed ads to encourage people to chat with you about your product and service. This option allows for one-on-one contact – even if it’s largely automated – making potential customers feel valued.
