There are many ways on how you can use the Messenger to engage your customers. One is the Click-to-messenger ad that allows people to start a conversation with you. Another way is allowing you start a conversation with any person who has messaged you before. If several people had messaged your company some months back, but they did not buy any product, you can use the Messenger to engage them.
