Messenger Business will be the decisive link in customer care strategies and closing online orders in the next 2 years. According to DPS.MEDIA data, nearly 80% of SME customers increased their conversion rate by at least 20% when applying automation solutions on Messenger in the past 12 months. So, what is the real reason businesses cannot ignore this platform?
Messenger Business is gradually becoming the “command center” for omnichannel customer experience, from receiving feedback, sending order notifications, to providing in-depth consultation thanks to AI and CRM integration. With over 66 million Facebook users in Vietnam (We Are Social, 2024), Messenger is where customers are always present, opening the shortest path for businesses – especially SMEs – to reach, retain, and develop relationships with customers.In a context where customers are increasingly impatient and competition is fierce, any business that quickly transitions to Messenger Business will accelerate in capturing needs, personalizing messages, and creating the right-time, right-person experience.Applying Chatbot technology, automating interaction processes, and intelligent customer segmentation are the new “weapons” for SMEs to cut costs and increase sales efficiency without expanding staff.
If you are looking for a sustainable launchpad in digital transformation, investing in Messenger Business not only meets current needs but is also the key to future expansion. The convergence trend of social and e-commerce platforms will put Messenger Business at the center of every digital marketing strategy.
Personalization trends and customer experience on Messenger Business
Personalization trends in communication
The need to personalize customer experience is becoming increasingly important in the modern business environment. Messenger Business allows businesses to interact directly with customers through customized messages. The use of chatbot smart solutions helps create automated conversations that still retain a personal touch. For example, a fashion store can send welcome messages and product suggestions based on the customer's purchase history.
Enhanced customer experience through automation
Automation not only saves time but also enhances the customer experience. According to research by HubSpot,70% customers said they prefer to receive quick responses via messaging platforms. Messenger Business can integrate analytics tools to track customer behavior and preferences, thereby optimizing marketing campaigns. A typical example is a travel business that implemented a chatbot to provide tour information upon customer request, helping to increase conversion rates by up to 30%.
Case Study: Small business success with Messenger Business
A notable case study is Café XYZ, where Messenger Business was implemented to interact with customers. They created a special promotion program through Messenger, allowing customers to receive personalized discount codes. As a result, revenue grew 25% in just one month. This demonstrates the power of personalizing the customer experience in driving sales.
| Factors | Impact on revenue (%) |
|---|---|
| Quick interaction | 70% |
| Personalized messages | 30% |
| Promotions via Messenger | 25% |
Integrating AI and automation: Opportunities to optimize customer care processes
Messenger Business: A lever for savings and personalization
Integrated AI solutions in Messenger Business have now demonstrated the ability to automate customer care processes without losing the personal touch. According to the study “Artificial Intelligence in Business Communication” (Elsevier, 2023), over 75% of customers appreciate the speed and proactivity of AI chatbots compared to cumbersome manual processes. A typical case study from one of our retail clients at DPS.MEDIA shows that applying AI to customer segmentation right on Messenger helps reduce 22% personnel costs, increase 32% potential customer conversion rate through automated content personalization.
| Conversion point | Before integrating AI | After integrating AI |
|---|---|---|
| Average response time | 15 minutes | 1-2 minutes |
| Repeat order rate | 9% | 18% |
| Customer support costs | 100% | 78% |
Redefining customer experience with the trend of “Conversational Commerce”
- 1:1 personalization: AI analyzes context, chat history, and purchasing behavior to automatically send personalized offers to each customer—no more “mass spamming.”.
- Data optimization: Chatbot integration not only provides automated responses but also collects deep insights, creating a central data warehouse for remarketing and customer care.
- Seamless multi-channel interaction: The “one-click reply” trend—customer feedback, complaints, returns, etc. are handled consistently across Messenger, Zalo OA, and even TikTok Shop.
The DPS.MEDIA team has observed that Vietnamese SMEs who do not proactively adopt AI will be left out of the “multi-touchpoint customer experience” race in the next two years. This is the golden opportunity to optimize operations, save costs, and create real competitive advantages.
