Proactively send DMs to your Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook customers for a 4% lift in revenue

Most brands let customers reach out via social media channels, but don’t take advantage of those channels for proactive engagement. But brands that do can expect a 4% increase in revenue.

Who does this? Glamnetic sends a welcome message to their followers on Instagram to welcome them to the brand.

Why 4% lift? Brands that invest time on building an Instagram audience tend to have 40 times more followers than monthly orders. If you convert 0.1% of your followers monthly, that’s 4% more orders for your store.

How to implement this tip? Go through your followers list on Instagram and send them a welcome DM, with something like to the copy below:

“Welcome to [brand] 🙌. We love sharing our story with our community. As a new member, here’s a 10% discount code: [coupon]. Please try out our products or reply here if you have any questions!”

Then track the discount code usage in Shopify’s “Sales by discount” analytics.
