What is Conversational Marketing?

Conversational marketing is a modern approach to marketing that allows you to respond to your clients 24/7. It helps to boost engagement, foster customer loyalty, and grow your business’s revenue. Today, it is an essential part of any optimal marketing strategy. Being accessible to answer questions immediately increases the user’s experience with your company increasing the likelihood of converting them to loyal customers.  

Chatbots save time and offer context. No need to spend an employee’s valuable time looking for data and responding to customers when conversational marketing can qualify leads and collect accessible customer data for you. 

Why Does Conversational Marketing Work?

Conversational marketing offers answers to your customers when they need them. People enter chatbots when their interest is already piqued and when they have the time to browse: it’s convenient and customers are more likely to remember your business when they get their answers.  

In today’s world, people are looking not just for speed, but for immediacy. Using a chatbot in your marketing strategy provides this in a realistic way, without wasting your time or energy.
