🟣 From “Just DM Me” to Fully Booked
My Manychat Moment
A while ago, I kept seeing “DM me ‘DISCOUNT’ for 10% off” on Instagram stories.
Out of curiosity, I tried it.
📲 I got an instant reply.
🛒 I received a product link.
💸 I bought. In less than 2 minutes.
That’s when it hit me:
This isn’t just a chatbot.
It’s a 24/7 sales assistant that never sleeps.
So I started using it for a client:
→ We launched a “DM ‘Summer’” Story funnel
→ It collected leads, sent bundles, and pushed to checkout, all in IG DMs
→ 42% conversion on the first campaign. No extra team. No code.
🟣 Trends: DMs > Traditional Ads
📈 80% of customers now prefer DMs over email or calls
🧠 Engagement in DMs is 10x higher than feed posts
🛍 Brands using Manychat see 2x higher conversions
💬 IG Stories + DMs = one of the fastest-growing list-building channels
🌍 Manychat supports Instagram, FB Messenger, WhatsApp & SMS
DMs aren’t just for replying anymore.
They’re for selling, supporting, and scaling.
🟣 Actionable Tip: Launch a DM Funnel Today
Try this today if you're selling online:
- Write an IG Story: “DM me ‘GLOW’ for a summer skincare kit”
- Set up a Manychat flow to send:
→ A bundle preview
→ A checkout link
→ Follow-ups if they don’t convert - Track results in your Shopify or Klaviyo dashboard
Bonus: Use Manychat’s AI to suggest product recs and reply with personalized messages. It’s freaky good.
🟣 Reflection: What This Means for Modern Brands
• For ecommerce: Automate lead gen, drop new launches, and recover abandoned carts
• For coaches/creators: Send PDFs, courses, and nurture leads like a pro
• For restaurants: Share menus and take bookings via WhatsApp
• For you: No code. No stress. Just conversions in your sleep.
If you're still manually replying to every “what’s the price?” or “how to buy?” message you’re leaving money on the table.
🟣 Takeaway: Your DMs Are Your New Storefront
The smartest brands in 2025 aren't shouting louder.
They're replying smarter — instantly, and at scale.
Manychat is the secret weapon behind those high-converting Story funnels and viral DM campaigns.
And the best part?
You can launch your first one in under 30 minutes.
