Below are 4 practical applications of Chatbot marketing that businesses can start to create. 

What is Chatbot marketing? 

Chatbot is a computer program that automatically replies to messages on Facebook Messenger, Zalo, Webchat and other popular messaging platforms. With Artificial Intelligent (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology, Chatbot can carry out two-way conversations with users by a natural language. 

Chatbot marketing is a Chatbot model with auto reply on communication channels used to increase brand awareness, encourage interactions with customers and automate the process of reaching and converting potential customers. 

To build Chatbot marketing effectively, marketers need to give attention to 3 key factors: 

  • Understand conversational context to develop a Chatbot productively
  • Personalize conversations to have strong connections with customers. 
  • The heart of a smart Chatbot is the ability to support real-time interactions between customers and both Chatbot and human supporters. 

Practical applications of Chatbot Marketing

Chatbot automatically filter and convert potential customers 

Filtering leads is an important step in the lead conversion process. Businesses usually have to filter 30 - 50 leads to obtain a customer. This work often takes the sales – customer support department so much time, separates human resources and distracts businesses from specialized tasks.

When Chatbot is applied in the first step of the marketing funnel, it can ask – answer customers basic questions such as those about the products/services they interest in, their needs/requirements, contact, etc. What makes Chatbot optimal for this filtering step is the ability to provide real-time support to many customers at the same time. Even at peak times, businesses do not need to worry about the overload in customer service. First-time customers also have more positive experiences when receiving support speedily without waiting. In addition, business resources can be used for more specialized jobs such as taking care of important, premium customers or handling demanding ones. 

Chatbot informs sales department about potential premium customers

The special of the smart Chatbot model is that it does not replace humans completely but work with humans to optimize customer service. Chatbot can work best when filtering customers and supporting basic, common problems. However, premium customers who require in-depth consultancy still need more personalized support from human consultants.

Therefore, Chatbot always needs a step of forwarding the conversations with customers to human supporters or a “Meet supporter” button to help customers proactively contact them. As a result, requests from customers are directly forwarded to the inboxes of supporters. Moreover, supporters can track all previous conversations between chatbots and users and capture the topics by Tag topic card.

Smart Chatbot can collect information about the needs and characteristics of each user through these conversations, thereby creating valuable personalized experiences and bringing needed benefits to them.
