With customers looking for instant gratification, now more than ever, incorporating conversational marketing is the best way to delight your users. With the right kind of design and execution, and management, your chatbot will not only provide customer assistance but will also help you with engaging prospects browsing through your website and social handles and convert them into MQLs. What more? You can accomplish this without expanding your headcount.

A feedback-oriented approach, conversational marketing uses chatbots and targets messaging to cultivate real-time conversations across devices to meet the consumer exactly when they need support, 24x7. 

By deploying chatbots, brands can now converse better with their customers and capture leads effectively. By asking a few questions, chatbots can learn how the consumer reached their website, their contact details, and their exact requirements. Chatbots don't just answer queries; they can make product suggestions, take orders, accept payments, and provide real-time support throughout the buying cycle, thereby providing a great user experience. 

 

Since the COVID-19 outbreak started, the entire world gradually moved online. With most of practicing social distancing to "flatten the curve, it's no big surprise the worldwide internet traffic is up 18% since the beginning of the year.

If you, as a brand, are searching for ways to scale your marketing strategy in 2021, conversational marketing through chatbots is the way to go about it. It is not just simple and easy but also helps you build a stronger connection with your audience. Start by defining your typical buyer's journey and identifying the area you would like to initiate support. You should set up answers to standard questions and add follow-up queries too. Role play the conversations to avoid missing important areas and ensuring a natural tone. Additionally, you may also be able to evaluate if your business model allows you to automate your order and payment processes via chatbots.
