We basically see Chatbots do 2 simple things:
Open + Invite then Close a Sale | Subscriber
Chatbot as an Innovation Presenter & A Closer
- Chatbots can be a platform to introduce new concepts. We have 1 perfect example. It's Adidas' campaign. What they did was they designed a chatbot with a female-centered community called Studio LDN. See chatbot here.
From Chatfuel as example
Free fitness sessions were only booked through the Chatbot and it garnered great results:
In the first two weeks alone 2,000 people signed up to participate, with repeat use at 80%. Retention after week one was 60%, which the brand claims is far greater than what could have been achieved with an app. - Sarah Gower, Adidas
- Staying true to their branding, Adidas made sure once bookings were confirmed to remind them of their sessions, get messages from influencer instructors and even access fitness videos for inspiration.
