The easiest way to take advantage of Messenger’s global reach is to run ads in Messenger.

Messenger ads work just like ads across other Facebook platforms—we’ll automatically deliver ads to the placement that’s most likely to drive campaign results at the lowest possible cost. The best part? You can use the same creative for Messenger that you’re already using for Facebook and Instagram.

People will see these ads in the Chats tab in their Messenger app. When they tap on an ad, they’ll be sent to a detailed view within Messenger with a call-to-action that will take them to the destination you chose during ads creation—whether that’s your site, app, or a conversation with your business on Messenger

Retarget your customers with Sponsored messages.

Sponsored messages allow you to send highly targeted promotions directly to the people who have already talked to your business in Messenger.

If you choose to run Sponsored messages, we recommend planning to be active and responsive once you have re-engaged customers. Away messages can help manage customer expectations by letting them know when they should expect a follow-up response.
