The modern marketing landscape is buzzing with discussions about Artificial Intelligence (AI). Many of these conversations portray a dystopian future where AI replaces human jobs, fueled by the recent wave of mass layoffs.

Fortunately, smart marketers understand that AI is not a substitute for them; rather, it amplifies their marketing abilities. When utilized effectively, AI empowers marketers to achieve more impressive results in less time and at a lower cost.

So, what does it mean to "use AI correctly?" What specific marketing accomplishments can you attain with AI? Let's explore:

 

Enhance Customer Experience: Delighted Customers, Repeat Business, Improved Brand Loyalty

Understanding customers' unique needs and concerns enables marketers to design more precise communications and deliver an overall delightful experience. AI tools can assist in both areas:

  1. Identifying unique customer needs
  2. Designing communication and experiences to address those needs

For example, Tealium is an AI tool that connects customer data. It collects and organizes customer data on a unified dashboard, extracts actionable insights, and enables the creation of personalized customer experiences across preferred marketing channels—all in real-time.

These capabilities ensure that your customer communication:

- Focuses on offers most relevant to individual customers.

- Reaches customers at the most opportune times.

- Becomes increasingly personalized, focused, and intelligent over time.

Speaking of personalization, AI-enabled personalization capabilities extend beyond existing customers.

 

Hyper Personalization for Prospects: More Leads, Higher Conversions, Improved Bottom Line

Consumers adore personalization, and thanks to AI tools, marketing personalization has evolved beyond the cliché methods of merely using names and company details in emails.

Modern marketing personalization, empowered by AI algorithms, chatbots and email marketing tools, allows precise targeting of customer pain points and the delivery of relevant communications that drive conversions. The best part is that your brand communication can evolve with AI as customers progress through different stages of their buying journey.

Modern tools can utilize prospect insights collected through interactive content to deliver personalized buying experiences at every customer touchpoint. These experiences may include push notifications, email communications and chatbot interactions.

A notable example of a superb hyper-personalized chatbot experience can be found on the Hubspot website. The Hubspot chatbot intelligently guides users through their website, addressing the challenge of navigating the extensive offerings of the versatile industry giant. Expect more AI innovation from HubSpot as they have integrated ChatGPT4 for content creation and their content assistant and ChatSpot tools streamline work for HubSpot users.

Similarly, an email marketing tool called Optimove enables hyper-personalized email communications based on data and insights. The tool employs predictive analytics to deliver AI recommendations that enhance the relevance of messages sent to prospects. It ensures that prospects receive the most pertinent offers or messages, even if an email has been sitting unread in their inbox for months. The tool is also integrated with eDataSource for smart email deliverability.

To fully enjoy the benefits of hyper-personalization while respecting a prospect's privacy, the use of captivating and interactive content is essential. This is yet another area of B2B marketing where AI can be a superpower.

 

Create Outstanding Content at Scale: Build Authority, Foster Relatability, Outperform Competitors

Large language models (LLMs) and generative AI have emerged as the latest and widely discussed additions to the AI realm. Tools like GPT4 can generate intelligent content at scale. APIs can be integrated into business websites to deliver personalized content and support experiences through chatbots.
