Hey everyone, It's Leslie... and welcome to season 2 of Mindful Marketing Moments. A podcast that helps inspire new thoughts on how to market your business. I am grateful that you have joined us today, so let's jump right into this episode. Today we are going to discuss how to use Artificial Intelligence or AI in your digital marketing strategy to improve the overall success of your business.
Now it’s no secret that AI has been booming lately, and its application in the business world has been further accelerating over the past few years. According to recent figures, the AI Market is expected to grow to a whopping $190.6 billion by 2025. So, it’s no surprise that small business owners are now looking for ways to incorporate AI into their marketing strategies to reap benefits like bigger customer engagement, higher conversion rates, and increased efficiency in their marketing processes.
So, let's start with the basics. Make mental note of these 4 key points and see if any of this sounds like it will help you manage things in your shop.
First off, data is the backbone of AI. In order to leverage its power, you’ll need to get as much data as possible about your customers, your market and your business operations. The more data you have, the more precise your AI can be. The great thing about AI, is that it can help you to collect, process and analyze huge amounts of data much faster than humans can. So having the tech on your side will ensure that you can make the most informed decisions about how to reach your customers with your marketing.
The Second key point is to make sure you’re clear on what you want to achieve with AI. It could be anything from optimizing your social media output, to improving your customer engagement, or even to finding a good retail location. Knowing what you need and why, will help you to select the right AI tools for your needs.
Third, pick your platform carefully. There are many AI solutions on the market, and they range from simple chatbots for your website, to more advanced software like HubSpot or Adobe Experience Cloud that will allow you to automate all of your campaigns. Choosing the right platform will depend on what you want to achieve, what data is available to you, and how much you’re willing to spend.
Last but not least, use AI to its full potential. AI can help you simplify tasks, manage customer relationships and even help you create content. But it’s important to remember that AI is a tool –– it’s not a replacement for human thought or creativity. So, it’s up to you to use AI to build on your marketing strategy, and not replace it. AI can certainly help you get more done, but you still have to make the strategic decisions that will shape the overall direction of your marketing.
In conclusion, we’ve seen how AI is becoming an increasingly powerful tool in the small business marketing world. With advanced capabilities such as being able to understand customer needs and preferences, as well as the ability to automate marketing strategies and analytics, small business owners can leverage AI to reach their target audiences more effectively than ever before.
And as always, if you have more questions or want to start incorporating AI into your strategy, just reach out and we will be happy to assist you.
