Hello, everyone. Welcome back to the Spark and Ignite podcast. I'm your host, Beverly Cornell. And in this episode, we're diving into a super exciting topic, how AI is revolutionizing marketing for service based businesses in 2024. Now, I know AI can sometimes feel like this big, scary and futuristic concept, but But trust me, it's not as intimidating as it seems. And in fact, AI is already making our lives and our jobs a whole lot easier. So let's break down exactly how AI is changing the game for service based business owners everywhere.

And a huge chunk of that is going into marketing technologies. But what does that mean for your service based business? Let's take a second and dive into all the ways that it can affect your marketing in your business. First up, data driven decision making. AI is like having the most amazing, super powered assistant that can analyze mountains of data in mere seconds. Imagine you're running a dental practice and AI tools can help you analyze patient data and market trends faster. super quickly, enabling you to offer more personalized and effective treatments. This means you can send targeted reminders for checkups or suggest specific treatments based on an individual patient history, improving patient care and retention. Next, let's talk about AI powered customer service. You know, those chatbots that you see on websites. They're really not just for show. Companies like H& M and Sephora use chatbots to handle customer service inquiries 24 7. But what about service based businesses? Imagine a doggy daycare using AI driven chatbots to answer common questions, schedule appointments, or even send updates about how your furry friend is doing. This not only improves customer satisfaction, but also frees up that precious time for your team to focus on more hands on tasks. So now let's talk about personalization at scale. This is where AI, I think, really shines. Let's say you run a holistic veterinary clinic. AI can help you segment your audience based on their pet's health needs and preferences. This allows you to send highly targeted emails with personalized wellness plans, special offers on natural pet products, or even customized tips for each individual. This level of personalization can significantly boost engagement and retention, turning one time visits into loyal clients. And then there's automation. AI can handle repetitive tasks like managing appointment schedules or sending follow up reminders. For example, a holistic vet clinic can use AI to automatically send out reminders For upcoming checkups or followups on treatments. This ensures no pet owner misses an important appointment, and it frees up your time and your team to focus on providing top notch care. While AI takes care of all those routine tasks for you. So let's recap. AI is certainly revolutionizing marketing for service based businesses, but in four key areas. Data driven decision making, AI powered customer service, personalization at scale, and automation. These advancements are not just theoretical, they're happening right now and transforming how we connect with our customers and our clients.
