Future Trends of AI in Marketing
It has been
a while since artificial intelligence is being used by marketers for not one
but many reasons. AI enables a highly personalized website experience for the
customer and can help to display the apt kind of content for any visitor (Akter
and Wamba, 2016). AI-powered
content is being used on a large scale by companies like Amazon (Amazon Go), Starbucks,
Alibaba (New Retail), etc. (Brenner, 2018). Content creation chat-bots have become a thing
now. For example, Sephora, a cosmetic brand, have a chatbot that not only
provides assistance to the customers but also helps in the research phase, which
is like a new form of content marketing (8 Ways Intelligent Marketers
Use Artificial Intelligence, 2017). Businesses have started optimizing their return on investment with the
help of AI by placing ads in front of viewers that are relevant (Hall,
2019) (Akter and Wamba, 2016).
These are
the current trends in the field of AI which are used in marketing but the future
holds a lot more than these trends. The top few are as follows:
1. Hyper Segmentation of Audience (By
Mostafa ElBermawy, 2019).
Target-Segmentation
has been used for a few years by the marketers but using AI programs, more
and more data is segregated and analyzed which leads to more detailed
information about the customer, enabling the creation of highly focused and
segmented groups.
2. Targeted Timing (By Mostafa
ElBermawy, 2019).
As machine
learning and AI can enable the creation of hyper-segmentation, it also can
calculate and come up with time of peak engagement by learning which groups
tend to stay most active at what time.
3. Visual Search (By Mostafa
ElBermawy, 2019).
Pinterest
Lens and Google Lens have known to identify images from around the world. With
the help of AI & Machine Learning, consumers can soon find products to buy online
without knowing the name of the brand or the product by understanding the
context of the image and showing related results.
In short, AI
will have a lot of impacts on the marketing sector, for the betterment of the companies
as well as consumers.
