Artificial intelligence (AI) has become one of the most talked-about topics in the world of marketing as AI-based technologies have the potential to revolutionize the way businesses approach their marketing strategies. Let’s talk about how tools like ChatGPT, AI image generators and more are disruptive marketing technologies. If you aren’t using these tools yet, you’ll want to read on to see why you need to start.
Automate and Streamline Repetitive Tasks
AI technologies can automate and streamline many repetitive and time-consuming marketing tasks. For example, ChatGPT can be used to create automated chatbots that engage with customers in a conversational manner. AI tools built into Canva, Microsoft 365, Hootsuite, and even Google Docs can free up marketers’ time, allowing them to focus on more strategic aspects of marketing, such as creating compelling content and developing innovative campaigns.
Check out this demo of Microsoft Copilot for example!
Improve Accuracy and Effectiveness
By analyzing data from multiple sources, AI technologies can identify patterns and insights that would be difficult for humans to detect. This can help marketers create targeted and personalized marketing messages, improving the chances of success for their campaigns.
Provide Real-Time Customer Insights
Chatbots powered by ChatGPT can analyze customer interactions and provide valuable information about customer behavior, preferences, and pain points. This data can help businesses optimize their marketing strategies and tailor their products and services to better meet customer needs.
Scale Your Marketing Efforts
By automating some tasks such as image creation and editing, writing copy drafts, and providing real-time insights, AI can help businesses reach a wider audience and engage with more customers than would be possible with traditional marketing methods. This can be especially beneficial for small and medium-sized businesses that may not have the resources to invest in large-scale marketing campaigns.
For example, check out how Canva Magic Write can do the heavy lifting by writing the first draft.
Stay Ahead of the Competition
As AI continues to evolve, businesses that embrace these technologies early will likely have a significant advantage over those that do not. Understanding how you can use these tools to stay agile and responsive will result in the ability to automate and optimize your marketing strategies so you can create better content and get it in front of the right audience. I guarantee your competitors will begin using these tools, if they aren’t already, and if you don’t know how to use them you will be behind the curve.
Where to Start with ChatGPT
If you’re not sure where to start, begin with the free version of ChatGPT and try a few prompts to get an idea of what it can do. For example, ask it the following:
- Ask me 6 questions about my business, then provide 6 blog content outlines with SEO optimized titles.
- Write a Haiku about Autumn leaves.
- Give me a three week lesson plan on the Amercian Revolutionary War.
Now stand back and watch what you get. This small exercise will help you get started on unlocking the power of AI on marketing strategy.
Pro tip: The better and more specific you can be about your prompts, the better and more specific your results will be.
