As many of us know, Facebook Messenger offers an instant messaging module for Facebook users. It connects you with your friends, and generates quick, easy conversations, without having to go on a friend's wall to post something that should most likely remain private for whatever reason. Just recently, Facebook opened this section of its platform up to businesses. This means that companies can get sponsored content on there, sell their products and potentially post ads or even generate bots to interact with customers.

Do you have any idea what users are thinking when they leave your shopping cart?

Are you interested in sending out emails to those leads in order to bring them back to your website?

An online business needs a little something more than just a hard working team who supports customers. It also requires more than quality products.
