But first things first, to understand the usefulness of messenger code for business, we must have a clear concept of what messenger code is, how to get it and how it works, respectively.

What are Messenger Codes?

A Messenger Code looks more or less like a QR scan code but its functionality is quite different.

With messenger code, users do not need to download a third-party app to scan it, Facebook definitely thought this one through, because most people today prefer a short and snappy solution to everything.

Why you should have a Messenger Code?

It’s simple, you have a lot more offline users that could be your potential customers and you can turn them into your online audience using a Messenger Code.

• The audience is huge

According to Statistica, facebook messenger now has more than 133 million users in the U.S today; making it one of the biggest messaging apps in the world after Whatsapp.

See how much the audience has grown in the past 5 years and expected to reach 139 million by next year.

With that being said, imagine how many of these users could be your potential customers?

• Noise-Free Personalized Reach

You get to reach your audience directly into their inbox without all the newsfeed noise and deliver a clearer one-to-one message, and for free!

• More Effective than Facebook

It takes a lot of thinking, planning, and execution when you want to promote your social media on offline mediums you don’t even know if people will take their time out to search you over the internet.

Or if you simply have an embedded messenger code with your business card, it would appeal to more people and increase an open rate up to 90%.

• Re-engage Customers

Take a look at this example of Hubspot, at their recent event, they made very interesting use of messenger code; they provided real-time updates on what’s happening to the people present over there.

Messenger for Lead Generation?

According to Neil Patel, Facebook messenger has an open rate of 88%, which makes it our best bet for online marketing any day!
