Early this year, when we started using ChatGPT, nobody knew how it would impact how we do marketing. It enhanced our digital marketing strategies by eliminating repetitive tasks that would take hours for marketers. Since then, AI tools have changed the whole marketing game and have become quite the norm. They have made our work easier.
From content creation to data analytics, we now use AI tools to monitor, create, and enhance our marketing strategies. Therefore, investing in AI tools and learning to use them for improving your digital marketing efforts is essential for an up-to-date marketer. Here are some ways AI technology is changing the future of digital marketing.
1) AI-powered personalisation
Personalisation is the key to any successful business strategy. Now, AI can help us achieve mass-level personalization with simple-to-use tools. It can study customers for us, and based on its analysis, you can use it to create content for your audience.
For example, you can use AI to check what products your customers spend time browsing, and then you can send personalised offers, recommending products to your target audience. Similarly, you can send personalised video content related to that, so they can be informed more about the product. However, to implement all of this, you should clear your concepts about digital marketing, which include keyword research and SEO, which hold more importance than ever.
2) AI-generated content
Creating high-quality content is something marketers struggle with. From research to writing, content creation can take up a lot of time. With AI tools, you can reduce the time it takes to create content. Not only can they conduct research for you, but they can even write high-quality content for you. AI tools, such as ChatGPT, can curate blogs, articles, and Instagram posts with a single prompt.
3) AI-based image recognition
AI can now go beyond textual data. AI-based image recognition tools can scan objects, people, and images – the same way humans interpret media. Referred to as “image classification” or “image labelling,” this is a core task in solving many computer vision-based machine learning problems.
You can use this technology for your project where you have to filter or moderate content – which is inappropriate. Even Google Image Search offers this feature to users. When you scan an image, it searches the web, giving you information and similar results about the scanned object.
4) AI-based Voice Research
Users are moving from keyword research to voice research – not that the former is becoming irrelevant. Voice research is more convenient for users, as they don’t have to type. AI-based voice research studies the human voice and reverts through integrated voices.
They achieve this in two steps: translating audio into text and processing it with Google Text to Speech (GTTS). Modern AI-based text-to-speech synthesizers offer human-like AI speech. This is beneficial for research and clinical applications requiring recorded human speech.
5) AI Chatbots
One thing that marketers struggle with is understanding what their customers want. We have a customer support team that addresses their queries. However, maintaining a customer support team can be costly, especially if answers to those queries are available on your websites. You can’t even deny their requests. What do you do? Implement AI chatbots!
They can interact with your customers, answering questions and providing a human-like interaction experience. Moreover, they offer a customer experience by providing 24/7 assistance. So even if your business is not open after office hours, they will ensure you never miss a lead.
6) AI-powered Marketing Automation
AI marketing automation tools can take care of your mundane tasks. These include sending emails, personalizing offers, and tracking the sales funnel.
Here’s how it can benefit your marketing efforts-
- You can use them to streamline your marketing processes. You can focus on brainstorming and strategizing while sending personalized content to customers using data and algorithms.
- AI automation tools can help you achieve marketing that is efficient, personalized, and effective.
- You can reach out to a larger audience throughout their multi-channel consumer journey. They can help you take care of delivering relevant content while optimizing performance and driving profits.
- Speed will no longer be an issue. Tasks like audience segmentation, marketing copywriting, email sending, and social media posting will happen quickly without compromising quality.
Conclusion
In the next few years, we will see an increased use of AI in our marketing strategies. From SEO to research, marketing will completely change, as it does with time. With this change, you also should be ready to learn, adapt, and be aware of these tools. Only marketers who understand AI tools and can incorporate them into their marketing strategies will benefit from them, and they will always be able to generate leads.
