đ§ The DM Layout Strategy: Replacing Your Landing Page With a Conversation (and Not Screwing It Up)
The idea sounds simple: âMove your funnel into DMs.â
Plenty of brands try. And plenty screw it up. They treat DMs like a coupon drop. They treat comment triggers like vanity engagement. They treat inboxes like glorified link shorteners.
And in doing so, they kill the most valuable conversion surface of 2025: the attention-saturated, distraction-free, trust-heavy chat window.
What most brands get wrong when running Comment-to-DM funnels:
1. They use DMs to link out â not build up.
Instead of earning intent, they drop the same generic site link theyâd use in Stories.
The buyerâs like: I couldâve just clicked your bio.
Fix: Use the DM to narrow the offer. Ask one high-signal question before showing anything.
2. They talk at the buyer, not with them.
The message is a wall of text. No personality. No pacing. Just a CTA and a prayer.
Fix: Use message rhythm, 1 idea per message. Use micro-choices to keep attention flowing. Add buttons, not paragraphs.
3. They forget that every DM is a UX surface: Too many brands miss the basics:
No image previews
No bundle explanations
No price context
No link clarity
Fix: Design your DMs like micro landing pages. Show â segment â answer â offer.
What the best brands do differently
They turn the DM into a choose-your-own-path funnel
They speak like a human, not like a broadcast
They only offer the cart after solving a specific need
They embed social proof mid-conversation, not as an afterthought And crucially:
They use DMs to remove questions, not add pressure. Thatâs why they convert higher than most websites.
Manychat powers these inbox funnels without dev friction. Comment = trigger. DM = layered journey. You just need the right script. Signup now and get 30% off!
In 2025, the inbox is your highest-intent space. Itâs not a shortcut. Itâs a conversion theater, and most brands are still sending link spam to the front row. Donât be one of them. Design your DMs like they are the funnel, because they are.
