Why are chatbots the future of marketing ?
There has been a dramatic change in the way brands and customers have been interacting over the past few years. With everything going digital, consumers are increasingly opting for ways to communicate that are accessible, simpler and faster. Similarly, brands are looking for opportunities that will elevate different forms of customer engagement.
Marketers no longer want to conform to the conventional forms of marketing and are always on the lookout for newer opportunities to engage with its users. After social media marketing, the shift has been to a more direct form of marketing through messaging. The shift has been gradual but now has acquired momentum with the emergence of OTT apps like WhatsApp, Facebook messenger, WeChat and more.
Chatbots as transforming customer experiences:
A chatbot is a service, fuelled by both rules and artificial intelligence. End users converse with a chatbot using a chat interface. This chat is similar to how they would talk to people in real life.
Below are the four ways chatbots are going to transform marketing and how brands are going to capitalize on this:
Improved engagement with customers: Engagement in online advertising is defined by clicks, likes, shares and comment. The parameters of engagement therefore remain restricted. With chatbots coming into play, customers can deep dive into real-time conversations which enables them to have an interactive experience and a better understanding of the brand when compared to the traditional form of advertising.
Feedback directly from users: The best practices of collecting customer feedback has been through surveys and emailer. However, the problem lies not in the amount of feedback collected but the usefulness of it. With chatbots, brands will be in a position to engage in a highly personal and interest-based conversations with the customer. This will result in collecting constructive feedback.
