"Sixty-three per cent of the consumers said that they message with brands more today than they did two years ago," said the survey conducted by Facebook along with Nielsen.
With the rise of mobile messaging apps like WhatsApp, Viber and Line, brands are rushing to establish a presence within the programmes themselves, campaignlive.com reported.
Following this trend, companies like Disney, Taco Bell and Paypal have introduced chatbots designed to engage customers inside messaging apps.
"Having this understanding can help marketers and businesses better inform how to reach consumers where they are spending their time, and to better meet their expectations for personalised experiences," Asher Rapkin, lead for product marketing communications at Facebook, was quoted as saying.
According to the survey, 39 per cent consumers said they ask questions or seek information by talking to the brands via messaging, 33 per cent enquire about store hours, location or inventory, 34 per cent make or confirm an appointment, 33 per cent make a purchase or place an order, 30 per cent give feedback and 30 per cent share photos of products.
