Conversational marketing is marketing by making conversations with the costumers; it is using the power of digital platforms and speech to improve lead generation online. Conversational marketing is a marketing approach supported by customer feedback. It utilizes personalized email marketing, chat bots, live stream video, and live chats with customer service representatives thus making it a very interactive experience.

Conversational marketing is all about gathering information. Here the marketing strategy is to incorporate a series of questions in the marketing content to identify your customers need, and then the customer answers these questions. By doing so the organization is engaging with the customer, understanding their needs and where they are in their purchasing journey. This can be done in a real time zone by using chat bots, AI or customer care representatives. Once it’s clear what the customer wants the customer care representative can make appropriate recommendations.Using conversational marketing makes the buyer’s journey feel more personal. It works faster, builds trust and feels more authentic to the customers. Additionally in today’s world where everything is online and connected to the screen this method is more convenient and straightforward.

Other marketing methods should not be replaced by conversational marketing but instead it should complement it. The organization must use a hybrid marketing method that utilizes forms and other tools in addition to chatbots and AI. But it should be taken into consideration that it isn’t left to the tech tools to close sales, even though AI is getting smarter by the day, organizations still need to make contact with the customers themselves.
