On Kik
Bot Shop - The bot will appear in our Bot Shop under one of four categories - Entertainment, Fashion & Beauty, Games, or Lifestyle. There is also a “Featured” carousel at the top of the bot shop where up to 6 bots can be featured - these are chosen by our editorial team
Search - Users can search the username to chat with the bot
Bots - Other bots on Kik can direct users to your Bot Shop profile page
Mentions - Users can tap @ to view and draw bots into their conversations on Kik. Users in group chats can see other users mention bots in their conversations, and can organically try the experiences themselves.
On Social
Kik.me - The “Kik Me” or Bot Shop profile links on social channels enable users to be linked directly into Kik and to the bot (ex. https://kik.me/roll and https://bots.kik.com/#/roll)
Visuals - Include a visual of the actual bot experience, not just your branding. Try to highlight visuals within your bot, instead of showing a screen of text
Wording - Say "Chat with [Brand/Personality] on Kik" vs. "Talk to the [Brand/Personality] bot on Kik" because users might not accept talking to a bot, but accept the idea of chatting with a brand
Relevance - Relate your post to current events or influencers that relate to your bot and your potential users
Off Mobile
Kik Codes - At events, on posters, and on desktop users can scan to be placed in a specific state within your bot on Kik (more info about Kik codes found here)
