IMPACT

Deichmann turned Instagram Story reactions into sales with Instagram DM automation

Deichmann launched a reaction campaign on Instagram Stories to direct prospects into a conversational commerce chat experience in Instagram DM.  

People who reacted to Deichmann’s Instagram story with a 👍 emoji had the chance to win a pair of sneakers while being automatically directed to a private conversation with the brand in Instagram Messaging. 

With the campaign, Deichmann managed to encourage their audience to take action and turned social media engagement into actual sales. 

What’s even better is that they triggered a one to one conversation via Instagram Messaging from every single reaction. This allowed them to build a continuously monetizable audience on Instagram. 

The story reaction campaign enabled a highly engaging use case and gave the company the opportunity to start building deeper relationships with every prospect who engaged with their IG Stories.
