* Smugglr Website Widgets 
* Facebook Messenger Advertising 
* Email & Newsletter embedded with deep links 
* Deep-link integrations over social media channels like Instagram, Twitter, etc.

As soon as a subscriber gets on board we suggest focusing on filling up user database with richer personalized information apart from the default information we receive once the user becomes a subscriber.

* Interests
* Phone number
* Email
* Social Media Information

### 3. Customer Engagement

* Broadcast content based on user interests. 
* Broadcast content to identify and assign interests.
* Broadcast polls, voting, and feedback messages to improve segments.

### 4. Re-engagement & Churn Prevention

In the end, we need to ensure to gather more and more insights into subscriber profiling. This will help us identify what content to send the subscriber and keep him engaged.
