High-quality communication helps to increase customer loyalty, and is also a necessary component for the successful implementation of marketing strategies. It is important for customers to receive notifications of order confirmation or delivery. It is also useful for the company to maintain constant contact with the client. For example, inform them about new products, remind them about personal discounts or sales. Using the ClickSend service, you can send SMS, Email, MMS. Sending messages and emails is done in just a few clicks, and the simple interface allows you to quickly customize the content of the newsletter.

The speed of processing leads is one of the main factors for high sales conversion. This is true for all lead generation channels, including Facebook Lead Ads. Facebook is a promising platform for building a customer base, and lead forms are one of the simplest and most effective advertising tools. It is important for businesses to remember that a lead received through a social network requires the most efficient processing. The customer should receive prompt feedback. This task can be solved using the ClickSend platform.

The ClickSend service helps provide quick feedback and further communication with leads from Facebook. But in this case, a whole set of regular tasks arises. It is necessary to check the Facebook advertising account, upload leads, add new contacts to ClickSend lists. Of course, if you have only a few leads per day and processing speed is not critical, then all these tasks can be done manually. But what if you have dozens or hundreds of leads every day. In this case, the work of transferring data from Facebook to ClickSend becomes much more complicated. It also increases the chance of missing a lead. However, if you create an integration between Facebook and ClickSend, then the process of converting Facebook leads into ClickSend contacts can be fully automated.
