Online trading through social networks is very popular all over the world. Users regularly buy various products on Facebook. In marketing, there is such a thing as spontaneous purchases and social networks - exactly the place where they are made most often. Plus, it often happens that the user, having made the main purchase, decides to purchase related products that he did not plan to buy before. They wanted to see the range of all products and suddenly decided to buy something in addition. 

If at the moment when a potential buyer turned to the seller, the manager is not there, he missed this appeal or answered at the wrong time, the moment may be missed: the buyer will change his mind, or, without receiving feedback, will go to competitors for a similar product.

In order not to lose potential buyers and avoid such situations, you need to react as quickly as possible to leads' requests and warm up their interest in the product. Constantly monitor the posts and comments on Facebook - enough time-consuming process, but it is only a small part of the problem in the interaction with customers still need to communicate with them, to process incoming orders, etc.received. 

To ensure that users who have shown interest in the advertisements in FB, quickly  reply to mail, you can set up an email campaign, for example, through the Mailchimp service. Thanks to this, you will not miss a single customer who has contacted, stir up interest in the product, talk about it, etc. 

If the company has a programmer, he will easily set up automatic mailing for you. But if he is not there or he is loaded with current tasks, then some of the leads may be left unattended, as a result, this part of potential buyers will be lost. If, in principle, there is no IT specialist on the staff of the company, then you will have to hire him from the outside, but there are certain risks, for example, he will have low qualifications, he will set up your mailing list for a long time or he will not be able to cope with this task at all, as a result, time , leads, and possibly funds, will be lost.
