Chatbots:

Chatbots are AI-based technology that is easy to implement on sites such as Facebook or your website. These bots use instant messaging to chat in real-time with your customers.

These bots help your business by answering common questions, redirecting traffic to the correct webpage, and helping collect lead forms.

Personalized content such as emails is very important to consumers. People do not want to spend countless hours trying to find products that they want and things to relate to them. 90% of consumers claim they find personalization appealing. An example of effective personalization in marketing is Netflix emails that recommend new movies and tv shows based on videos that they have already watched.

Video Marketing:

Shoppable Posts:

Social media is where many consumers find products and now Instagram has made it easier for brands to sell their products directly through the platform with Instagram Checkout.
