Chatbots in Digital Marketing


What are chatbots?

Chatbots are an AI-powered software which facilitate conversations with your customers based on the way it is programmed. They use processes like deep learning, machine learning and natural language processing (NPL) to help in understanding complex requests, personalizing responses and improving interactions over time. The chatbots can be programmed with specific answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) like “What is your return policy?” or “How much do your services cost?”. Instead of spending loads of time and energy in answering every simple individual question from your customers, your chatbots can step in and do the work for you instantly. The best thing about that is, the more complex questions your customers ask, the better the chatbot gets at answering them. You can have them or your website, your social media platform or on your customer service portal.

 


Engaging the customer:

 As customer satisfaction becomes more important, companies need to look at their marketing efforts and see how they can have maximum impact even with limited budgets. Chatbots can be built cost-efficiently and programmed according to the needs. Whatever the target customer or business type, chatbots can handle customer needs like answering queries, scheduling a call, updating on orders, fulfilling sales and even upselling with new offers. They come in handy when the employees are outside work hours or during a rush time. These times may not be big for a company, but the service quality of the company during these times are what the customers expect to be good.
