01. Tailor content according to the customers:

Do you believe that once you give an exciting offer to your customer, your work is done?

Yes? Then, you are absolutely wrong! Digital marketing tactics teach you that more relevant offers should be given to your customers. They are more likely to something that is relevant to them and is advantageous to them. 

You can create a database of your customers and accordingly create personalized content and recommendations. 

You can even generalize your target audience into slots and work accordingly with your content strategy. For instance, if you have shopped on Amazon, you would have noticed the recommended products column, or even on your music applications and YouTube too, you find the recommendation column. It is thoroughly based on what you search, what you last saw. 

This tailored list showcases what the customer wants rather than ranting about the branded products that drive benefits, you believe in the fulfillment of the customer’s desire. 

How you can tailor your content?

• If you have an e-commerce website, then you can find about the browsing history and showcase the products that they are searching for. 
• For more informative content to your customer, you can find out by keyword research tool about what is most searched and you can accordingly direct the entire content towards it. Write blogs on it, articles on it, do the blog posting. 
• When giving an offer, make sure you mention how the offers/discounts help and are beneficial for the customer. 

Of course, the way you adopt these strategies, it will drive immense success for you. Tailor your content according to the requirements of the customer!

Read their minds before them!

02. Learn about your customers:

Business owners and marketers have access to more data than before! They can know everything about their customers. And, this information is the key to success. 

Yes, if you know your customers closely, you can direct them towards the best. 

• Find insights into your customers’ purchasing preferences and loved items. Then, use it to create an effective social media marketing campaign.
• Okay, to be very authentic about knowing the information, make sure you let your customers’ know about the things that you can access. Like their browsing history, their saved list, or anything about them shared with your brand. This is for the eCommerce website and also mobile shopping applications. 
• Focus on providing value based on the data you have. You can write content about the things that they want and what you have in store for them. For instance, if you have a clothing website, you can write about the different styles of tops that a girl can carry in a party, or casually to the party. This will help them, plus it will also offer you a way to showcase your products. 

03. Chatbots for better customer experience:

Chatbots are the finest way to entertain your customers 24*7 without interruption! These provide responses to basic questions rather than leaving the concern of customers unattended. These can be easily integrated in the website or in the application and people can start interacting with them directly. Look at the Domino chatbot that responds fast, and even books the pizza order for you. The questions asked by the chatbot are genuine and up-to-the-mark. 

Expect the following benefits with chatbots -

• Chatbots can help minimize the efforts and time that one person invests in talking to a customer. Instead, the person can indulge in creative thinking, and leave everything to chatbots. 
• Minimize efforts to resolve a customer issue. 
• Chatbots are available 24*7 and it can handle multiple customers without any worries. 
• They help customers know more about the brand’s products and services, as they take the information directly from the related product page and showcase it to the customers.
• A polite response is what chatbots are all about!
• Quick responses from chatbots to queries and complaints that would be loved by the customers. 

So, if you are not yet acquainted with chatbots then you will leave a major part of the customer experience strategy! Follow the path of automation in digital marketing, and experience connection with the customers like never before. 

04. Provide value rather than just creative:

Yes, there is a race amid all the brands to make a good social media presence and they come out with the brightest, most innovative ideas. But, if your creative is just good from the aspect of design and content, and is funny, then you are failing. 

The creative that you design has to be in accordance with the target audience. It should show how it is related to the audience. Like Swiggy does with the creatives on its social media page. 

It addresses the target audience brilliantly and also showcases how they can help! Great value for the customers! It says, ‘whether you are working late, or binge-watching movies, we will deliver the food right away. 

This was all about customer experience and how it defines your brand! A good brand image, good word-of-mouth from the customer can be expected when your brand values their interest, and the requirements.
