Generate more leads with the Facebook Instant Articles Forms + Welcome Email integration

Instant Articles is a mobile publishing format specifically designed for mobile devices, that enables you to promote contents and articles on the Facebook Platform, without redirecting your audience to a website or blog. Unlike blog posts or website pages, this format loads fast on the users’ devices and offer fast, interactive stories that engage people. Instant Articles’ contents can be imported directly from your CMS using a third party plugin like Atavist, Drupal or Wordpress.

However, promoting instant articles allows you to run retargeting campaigns on users who engaged with your content. In fact, those users can be automatically be grouped into a Custom Audience in order to create a second campaign that aims to raise your brand, make a front-end offer, etc.

Instant Articles also can be also integrated with a call to action and pre-filled to collect users’ relevant data such as name, surname, email or telephone number, just to name a few. By doing so, you’ll be able to store your leads into a CSV file or sync them automatically with your CRM/email marketing software using LeadsBridge, in order to send instant welcome emails and improve the quality of your leads.

Sending a welcome email is a best practice for businesses that rely on lead generation. In fact, a welcome email is a message sent by the companies who want to connect with their audience as soon as their leads and clients opt into their list.

Studies reveal that 22% of annual email marketing revenue comes from welcome series. The reason is simple: when someone subscribe to a newsletter or a mailing list, his/her attention is a very high level so businesses leverage this opportunity to make an offer.

That’s why it’s very important to send a welcome email immediately when leads come in, by using tools like LeadsBridge or an email software that allow you to connect with your audience quickly.
