How Automated DMs Improve Customer Retention

Why automation keeps customers coming back

Automated DMs let you deliver helpful, personalised messages at the exact moment a customer needs them—after a purchase, when they comment with a question, or when they abandon a cart. Consistency builds trust and reinforces the value you provide.

Retention tactics that work

  • Segmented flows: Branch conversations based on behaviour so every message feels relevant.
  • Event triggers: Fire DMs from comments, story replies, or checkout events to meet customers in the moment.
  • Iterative testing: Experiment with tone, CTAs, and incentives to uncover the creative that performs best.

Measuring success

Track engagement metrics like reply rate and click-through alongside core business KPIs such as repeat purchases or churn. Combine quantitative data with qualitative feedback to continuously refine each flow.
