Bots are able to autonomously handle customer service conversations, answer questions, and gather useful consumer data. One of the most important components of this data is email. Although it may seem a bit old school, <a href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/blog\/how-to-create-and-execute-your-email-marketing-plan-in-2019-a-template-for-success\/\">email marketing is still alive and well<\/a>, and chatbots are one of the easiest and most effective ways to nurture that invaluable email list.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-39345\" src=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image3-2.png\" alt=\"Zoe, the TrainedUp Pup chatbot\" width=\"888\" height=\"1334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image3-2.png 888w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/image3-2-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/image3-2-768x1154.png 768w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/image3-2-682x1024.png 682w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 888px) 100vw, 888px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why Use Chatbots?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Chatbots have become wildly popular, with more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/messenger\/posts\/more-than-13-billion-people-around-the-world-now-use-messenger-every-month-weve-\/1530169047102770\/\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">1.3 billion people<\/a> using Facebook messenger bots alone.<\/p>\n<p>Drift\u2019s State of Conversational Marketing report found people from all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drift.com\/blog\/state-of-conversational-marketing\/\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">195 countries<\/a> use online chat. What explains this popularity? By all accounts, a chat is more convenient, faster, and more readily available than any other form of communication.<\/p>\n<p>As Forrester noted, these bots exist in places where customers are already spending a majority of their time \u2014 on social media and online. This makes chatbots an easy way to connect with users on a more personal level and provides them with a satisfying interaction. Chatbots are a great way to get your foot in the door and obtain email addresses to add to your subscriber list. If you\u2019re not using chatbots to propel your email marketing campaigns forward, you might be missing out on a lot of potential leads.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why Use Chatbots?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A quick note here &#8211; while chatbots are absolutely great in growing your email list, running a bot for the sole purpose of gathering emails can come across as pushy. The primary objective of your chatbot must be <a href=\"https:\/\/startup.unitelvoice.com\/cut-costs\">to provide customer service or gathering user&#8217;s feedback<\/a>. Capturing email addresses of your users is thus a desirable outcome of the value you provide.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-39349\" src=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Guest_Post_Growing_Your_Email_List_With_Chatbots-SOCIAL.jpg\" alt=\"Growing Your Email List With Chatbots\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Guest_Post_Growing_Your_Email_List_With_Chatbots-SOCIAL.jpg 700w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Guest_Post_Growing_Your_Email_List_With_Chatbots-SOCIAL-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Guest_Post_Growing_Your_Email_List_With_Chatbots-SOCIAL-125x125.jpg 125w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Guest_Post_Growing_Your_Email_List_With_Chatbots-SOCIAL-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Guest_Post_Growing_Your_Email_List_With_Chatbots-SOCIAL-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Guest_Post_Growing_Your_Email_List_With_Chatbots-SOCIAL-96x96.jpg 96w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Do You Get the Email Addresses?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/9-lead-magnets-to-increase-subscribers\/\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Optinmonster<\/a>, \u201cEmail is a very personal thing. People aren\u2019t going to give you their email address without a good incentive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chatbots allow you to target specific audiences and provide them with valuable, customized information. However, simply starting a chat is no longer enough to get users to hand over their email addresses. Using the \u201cin case we get disconnected\u201d line doesn\u2019t cut it anymore. Users need to be wooed through relevant information, entertainment, and enticement.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Provide Users With An Incentive<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>In the digital marketing world, email addresses are like currency.<\/p>\n<p>In order to get users to hand over their email address, you must provide something equally as valuable for them in return. Chatbots can offer <a href=\"https:\/\/kimgarst.com\/how-to-use-facebook-messenger-bots-to-grow-your-email-list\/\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">incentives that may benefit customers<\/a>, such as ebooks, quizzes, podcasts, exclusive members-only content, product demos, promotions, or even trial offers on products.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-39346\" src=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image1-3.png\" alt=\"Drift chatbot\" width=\"354\" height=\"771\" srcset=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image1-3.png 354w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/image1-3-138x300.png 138w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 354px) 100vw, 354px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For example, if you have a chatbot for a clothing store, it can provide specific information about certain items, as well as provide advice such as fashion tips. The chatbot could then offer additional incentives like daily outfit inspiration, special offers, and discounts for users who provide an email address. In doing this, the bots have provided customers with enough value to incentivize customers to hand over their personal information.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Ensure Bots Do What They\u2019re Built To Do<br \/>\n<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s imperative that your bots do exactly what they\u2019re programmed to do and provide relevant information and answers to customers.<\/p>\n<p>Each message is vital to successful interaction and can mean the difference between an engaged customer and a disinterested one. An important component to remember is that users opt for chat communication because it\u2019s faster, easier, and more to the point. Complicated messages or too many steps before addressing the main objective will likely disengage your customers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-39347\" src=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image2-3.png\" alt=\"Whole Foods Market chatbot\" width=\"543\" height=\"489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image2-3.png 543w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/image2-3-333x300.png 333w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 543px) 100vw, 543px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For example, the chatbot for Whole Foods Market is aimed at helping customers find recipes. The bots get right down to business, respond to their prompts, and drive the conversation to help users get exactly the kinds of food and recipes they\u2019re searching for. The chatbot does what it\u2019s supposed to do and aligns directly with the user\u2019s expectations throughout the entire conversation.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Don\u2019t Ask For An Email Right Away<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The easiest time for a customer to say \u2018no\u2019 is at the beginning of a conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t make the mistake of asking for an email address as soon as the conversation begins. Instead, <a href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/blog\/customer-engagement-new-email\/\">genuinely engage with your users<\/a>. An entertaining conversation can go a long way in gaining a user\u2019s trust and keeping them interested until the right moment presents itself. Create bots with personality, like this sassy National Geographic chatbot.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-39348\" src=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image4-2.png\" alt=\"National Geographic chatbot\" width=\"600\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image4-2.png 600w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/image4-2-422x300.png 422w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The longer a customer spends chatting with your bots and building a relationship, the more likely they\u2019ll be to provide their email address at the end of the conversation. Begin by having bots ask for a user\u2019s name and preferences, create an entertaining dialogue, and slowly work your way up to the big ask: the email address. Once customers have said yes to other questions and have engaged positively with a chatbot, they\u2019ll be much more inclined to keep saying yes.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Now That You Have The Emails, Where Do They go?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Receiving email addresses is the most difficult task. But, once you have them, it\u2019s important to have a system in place that will help you organize and use them effectively.<\/p>\n<p>There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.socialmediaexaminer.com\/grow-email-list-facebook-messenger-bot\/\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">many programs available<\/a> that can integrate with Facebook messenger or other chatbots to funnel directly into creating automated subscriber lists.<\/p>\n<p>With the interconnection between these programs and your chosen email marketing platform, chatbots can build your subscriber list and send emails for your campaigns automatically. Platforms like <a href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/about-us\">Benchmark<\/a> have the ability to take the emails your bots have gathered, sort through them, and send emails at the most optimal time, providing value to each user and ensuring the email addresses stay on the list rather than having users ask to be unsubscribed.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Closing Thoughts<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Chatbots are a way to speak with customers in a setting where they\u2019re already comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>The capabilities embedded into these bots allow them to intuitively interact with users, creating an overall positive customer experience.
