About The Customer
Customers.ai Inc is a chatbot marketing software platform co-founded in 2017 by Larry Kim. The company's mission is to provide marketers with the tools to design and launch chatbots for lead generation and conversion support. In 2019, the platform was named the Best Bot Marketing Solution, establishing it as a breakthrough marketing tech platform for coding-free Facebook chatbots for the web and Facebook Ads. The company was looking to increase awareness of its Facebook ad tools and bot marketing platform among potential new users.
The Challenge
Customers.ai Inc, a chatbot marketing software platform, was facing a significant challenge in broadening its reach and decreasing the cost of lead acquisition. The company was using Facebook ads that directed users to their website, a strategy that was proving to be expensive and inefficient. The cost per click for these ads was between $3 to $5, and with a typical website traffic conversion rate of 2%, the cost per lead acquisition was a staggering $150 to $250 each. This high cost was a significant barrier to the company's goal of increasing awareness of its Facebook ad tools and bot marketing platform among potential new users.
The Solution
To overcome this challenge, Customers.ai Inc switched their strategy and started using Facebook's click-to-Messenger ads with a Messenger bot to instantly capture all leads. This new approach meant that every person who messaged the chatbot instantly became a lead in the contact database. These leads could then be sent follow-up messaging and advertising and be remarketed to in a customer lifecycle funnel. The company also sent follow-up messages to new contacts to nurture and qualify leads using Messenger drip campaigns. This innovative solution not only reduced the cost per lead acquisition but also provided a more engaging and interactive experience for potential customers.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
