Promote Your Fourth of July Sales with Sponsored Messages

Promote your Fourth of July sales with sponsored messages featuring an American flag and cupcakes.

National holidays, like Independance Day, are the perfect opportunity to run a special promotion. If done right, special promotions will help you sell more, connect to your audience and reach completely new people with your brand. One of the best ways to promote your Fourth of July sales in 2020 is to use sponsored messages in Facebook Messenger.

Sponsored messages are easy to use, will help you reach a wide audience, and best of all, it’s one of the highest engaging marketing channels ever.

During the holidays, you can be absolutely sure that most people will browse social media and open their Messenger app. Since the Sponsored Message will be placed right in the Messenger inboxes of your targeted audience, whoever opens the Messenger app will not miss it.

No wonder it generates between 7-8 times as much engagement as marketing emails.

Sending sponsored messages with optimal content and targeting used to be fairly complicated. For example, conventional methods for sending sponsored messages traditionally do not take into account whether a recipient has already unsubscribed from your automated messages.

This will often lead to spending part of your ad budget on targeting customers who are not receptive to your offer at all. Moreover, sending a sponsored message to someone a day or two after they unsubscribed from your Messenger bot might even lead to a spam report.

Luckily, you can easily avoid any similar pitfalls and complications by using Recart to compose and send your sponsored messages.

Using Recart’s Conversation Flow Editor, you can set up and launch your Sponsored Message campaign in just a few minutes.

To get started, open your Recart Dashboard, select Messenger and click on Create New in the Custom Conversation Flow section.

You will see a screen where you can select the desired entry point for the Conversation Flow. Of course, we will select Sponsored message for now.

Then, on the next screen, you can set up your campaign schedule and budget, right within Recart. Of course, we made sure that the default values for all options will give you good results in general, so you don’t need to worry too much about these options for now.

And with that, after just a few clicks, you are in the Recart Conversation Flow Editor, with your sponsored message campaign set up, ready to customize your messages.

  • Set up multiple reminders using delays and follow-up messages
  • Ask customers to enter their phone number or email address, which will be synced to Klaviyo or SMSBump
  • Send different messages based on the recipient’s gender or recent activity on your store
  • Create a quiz where customers get higher discount if they answer more questions correctly
  • Send a message where the customer must tap a button to unlock the discount code. Then, send the discount code in a very satisfying, cute, or otherwise engaging follow-up message including a sound recording, video or GIF.

The possibilities are endless with sponsored messages. If you have the resources to create truly unique conversation flows for your marketing campaigns, you have all the necessary tools available in the Recart Conversation Flow Editor.
