Get ready to build stronger, more meaningful and long-lasting customer relationships. Conversational marketing enables brands to improve and enhance the customer experience by communicating with them on a one-to-one basis in real-time, ultimately being there with the right information when your customer needs it most. And, what better way to do this than with a branded chatbot? 

Today’s customer is looking for the ultimate convenience and this isn’t only applicable to the B2C space, two-thirds of B2B buyers opted for remote human interactions or digital self-service across the sales process last year. And, with customer loyalty on the decline, it’s a smart move for brands to invest in creating a better customer experience. It’s never been a better time to explore chatbots.

What is conversational marketing?

Conversational marketing is a way to engage customers through dialogue, putting the focus on interaction by using two-way communications in real-time. Chatbots are the optimum way to implement conversational marketing. 

A chatbot simulates human conversations through text and voice, acting as a virtual assistant to handle customer queries. A strong chatbot will bring together staffed and automated solutions, directing visitors to the appropriate customer service representative depending on their query. 

Chatbots have various levels of complexity and are now more advanced than ever. They are built using AI technologies which include NLP (natural language processing) and machine learning algorithms, and can help to reduce operational costs by taking strain off your team and allowing customers to self-serve; all while providing an enhanced experience.
