Marketing is not a one-size-fits-all solution. The results differ depending on the industry, strategies and tools. These AI marketing tools help marketers and small businesses be more effective.
Marketing has historically been a focus for most companies, with most companies spending 7% to 12% of their gross sales on marketing activities. Although marketing budgets appear to be shrinking due to the impact of COVID-19, marketing technology and digital channels are two areas of spending that may grow. As companies focus on making every dollar count, these artificial intelligence (AI) tools are transforming the way some teams market in their niches.
