The Challenge

Creating fun, engaging videos showcasing local products and shops across São Paulo. Every video got thousands of comments asking "Where can I buy this?" and "What's the shop address?" Manually responding to each inquiry was impossible at scale. Missing the opportunity to connect followers with local businesses and earn promotional fees.

The InstantDM Solution

Set up two automated triggers:

  • Comment "PRODUTO" → Instant DM with product details, pricing, purchase link, discount code, and brand story
  • Comment "LOCAL" → Instant DM with shop address, Google Maps link, opening hours, parking info, and directions

Every promotional video now automatically delivers complete information to interested followers within seconds.

"Before InstantDM, I could only respond to maybe 50 people per video. Now I'm automatically helping 12,000+ followers every month connect with amazing local businesses. My promotional revenue increased 8x, and local shops love working with me because I actually drive real customers to their doors."

1. Brand Sponsorship Inquiry Management

High Value
Content creator brand partnership and sponsorship

The Problem

Brands DM you constantly. "What are your rates?" "Can you send your media kit?" "What's your engagement rate?" You're manually responding to every inquiry, sending media kits, and negotiating deals. High-value opportunities get buried in your DMs.

  • Lost brand deals from slow responses
  • No professional inquiry process
  • Manually sending media kits repeatedly
  • Difficult to qualify serious brands
  • No rate card or package structure
  • Can't track partnership pipeline

The Solution

Comment "COLLAB" → Instant DM with professional media kit, rate card, content packages, past brand work portfolio, audience demographics, and consultation booking link. Qualify brands automatically. Track all inquiries in one dashboard.

  • Auto-send professional media kit PDF
  • Rate card with content packages
  • Portfolio of past collaborations
  • Audience demographics and engagement
  • Consultation booking calendar
  • Automated follow-up sequence

2. Merch Drop Launch Automation

Revenue Explosion
Merchandise launch and product drop

The Problem

You launch merch. Post the announcement. Thousands comment "Link?" "Where do I buy?" "Is this still available?" You're manually sending shop links to hundreds of people. By the time you respond, the hype has died down and sales are lost.

  • Lost sales from slow link distribution
  • Can't capitalize on viral launch posts
  • Manual link sending is overwhelming
  • Missing the "impulse buy" window
  • No way to handle thousands of requests
  • Limited drop sells out before you respond

The Solution

Comment "MERCH" → Instant DM with shop link, product photos, sizing guide, limited stock countdown, and discount code. Automated sold-out notifications. Track sales and top-selling items automatically.

  • Auto-send shop link instantly
  • Product photos and descriptions
  • Sizing guide and fit information
  • Limited stock countdown timer
  • Exclusive discount code
  • Sold-out notifications

3. Exclusive Content Access Automation

Monetization
Exclusive content and premium membership access

The Problem

You offer exclusive content (Patreon, Discord, private community, premium tutorials). Post teasers on Instagram. People want access but don't know how to join. You're manually sending signup links and verifying memberships.

  • Lost subscribers from complex signup process
  • Manual membership verification
  • No automated onboarding
  • Difficult to promote exclusive content
  • Can't scale community growth
  • Missing recurring revenue opportunities

The Solution

Comment "EXCLUSIVE" → Instant DM with membership tiers, exclusive content preview, community benefits, signup link, and welcome bonus. Automated onboarding sequence. Track subscriber growth and engagement.

  • Auto-send membership tier options
  • Exclusive content preview
  • Community benefits breakdown
  • Instant signup link

4. Event RSVP Management

Community Building
Event management and RSVP tracking

The Problem

You host events (meetups, workshops, live streams, product launches). Announce on Instagram. Hundreds want to attend. You're manually collecting RSVPs, sending event details, and tracking attendance. No-shows are high because people forget.

  • Lost attendees from manual RSVP process
  • High no-show rate (40-50%)
  • No automated reminder system
  • Difficult to track capacity
  • Can't send event updates efficiently
  • Missing post-event follow-up

The Solution

Comment "RSVP" → Instant DM with event details, RSVP confirmation, calendar invite, location/link, and what to bring. Automated reminder sequence (3 days, 1 day, 2 hours before). Post-event thank you and content delivery.

  • Auto-send RSVP confirmation
  • Event details and agenda
  • Calendar invite file
  • Location/Zoom link
  • Multi-touch reminder sequence
  • Post-event follow-up automation
