The Role of ChatGPT and Other AI in Marketing

Plus 3 Ways You Can Utilize AI to Improve Your Marketing and Increase Customer Engagement

Artificial intelligence is one of the hottest topics around water coolers right now. I’ve found that people fall into 3 categories:

1. They love AI.

2.?They hate AI.

3.?They don’t understand it.

Those who love AI see it as a way to improve their lives, while those who hate it fear AI will take over and cause more harm than good.?The third group doesn’t understand it well enough to know how to leverage it effectively and is overwhelmed with the enormous amount of information (both true and misleading) out there about AI.?

AI is a powerful new technology and it has the potential (we are already seeing the results) to change many aspects of our commercial and personal lives.?However, with every technological advancement, you must first understand the problem you are trying to solve and then have the insight to leverage the technology to solve that problem.?In other words, you can’t just throw technology at a problem.

The Role of AI in Marketing

There are many areas of marketing that can benefit from leveraging AI to improve the effectiveness, streamline processes, and reduce the overall cost of marketing and selling to clients.?

Artificial intelligence can help brands gain insight into things such as customer satisfaction. AI platforms like ChatGPT can deliver tailored recommendations for products or services that resonate more with customers. And it can also analyze customer interactions on social media or messaging platforms to determine the perception of your brand.?

Unleashing the potential of artificial intelligence for your brand can ultimately help improve marketing strategies and, in turn, your business’s bottom line.?

How I Recommend Incorporating AI Into Your Marketing Strategy

There are many different ways to incorporate ChatGPT and other forms of AI in your marketing. Here are some use cases that I think can have a positive impact on your social marketing strategies and customer experience.?

1 | Improve the Customer Support Experience

Who doesn’t love improved customer service at a reduced cost? Many brands have already incorporated chatbots into their customer support structure. These chatbots allow customers to chat in real-time about issues or questions they have. Often, chatbots can help answer questions or solve problems, deflecting customer service calls, freeing up time for your employees to do other important things. And when a problem can’t be resolved over chat, these chatbots are able to direct the customer to a human who can finish resolving the problem.?

Bottom Line: Having a better customer service experience turns buyers into repeat customers and customers into promoters.??

2 | Gather Insights? and Feedback From Your Customers

Insights on your customers is the foundation to developing an effective marketing strategy. ChatGPT and other AI platforms have the ability to analyze customer preferences, behaviors and interactions with your brand behind the scenes, gathering valuable insights. Armed with these insights you can refine your marketing campaigns to reach the right customers in the right way.?

Bottom Line: AI provides information and valuable insights into customers to improve your marketing strategies based on frequent data.?

3 | Tailoring The Experience?

Speaking to your target audience in a more personalized way adds value to every step in the customer journey. AI has greatly improved over the years and can provide natural, human-like interactions with customers. ChatGPT and other AI platforms can also help your business scale up when needed, such as handling large quantities of customer queries. AI can also generate more targeted marketing campaign copy. The more targeted you are in your marketing, the bigger the return on investment you’ll receive.?

Bottom Line: Personalizing your marketing campaign copy to hyper-targeted audiences combined with conversational interactions with AI, your brand can drive higher levels of customer engagement and streamline the buying process.?

Key Takeaways

Artificial Intelligence doesn’t have to be scary. It has the potential to improve and amplify your marketing campaigns and create a more positive customer experience. Remember, AI isn’t a replacement, it is a tool that you can use to streamline processes, increase conversion rates and improve engagement. When used in the right way, it has the potential to bring a significant positive impact to your marketing strategies.?
