      Artificial intelligence has had a big impact on business, especially personalized marketing. Personalized marketing is the practice of creating personalized messages to customers based on their personality. This practice is to improve customer relationships and engagement. Not all businesses can perform such interaction, but most would like to. AI has helped those companies that have high amounts of traffic by creating a personalized message for customers. Many benefits come with using AI for personalized marketing including increased sales, improved customer engagement, savings of money, and better customer service. Some challenges may include privacy concerns, implementation costs, and algorithm bias. I also believe that if some customers were to discover that these messages were from AI they might feel disregarded. (Bretzfield)      I do not like interacting with customer service that use AI as I believe that they can only understand so much and it can lead to more issues. But

As technology continues to grow we see a greater influence of visuals on social media platforms. The most popular content almost always has an intriguing picture or video that easily grabs the attention of users. Visuals are used in Marketing to tell a story and help with branding. Visual marketing is very impactful in many ways, for example: it provides corporations with a much affordable way to market, it can reach many different users around the world, and it increases the business's social media engagement. (Georgiadis).      Why are visuals so important?      According to Prince Ghuman "a third of the brain is dedicated to vision which means that visuals highly influence human perception".

Week 2. MKTG 3349 - Importance of Keywords

Image
       When searching for something, consumers use specific words or phrases, known as keywords. These keywords can also be long-tail phrases. Therefore, organizations should prioritize using the right keywords to appear as the first link on a search engine results page. Most consumers, including myself, do not have the time to look through all the results, so they tend to focus on the first three pages. By providing relevant content that includes the right keywords, organizations can increase their chances of getting noticed by potential customers. Keywords are extremely beneficial as they make a business site look much more trustworthy, help connect to the right audience, and bring in more traffic. (Williams, 2023)      Companies can choose the right keywords by conducting research, using synonyms, and utilizing generators to provide similar statements related to the products they sell. SEMrush is an excellent option for researching keywords because it is free or you can upgrade to a

       Google Ads is an incredibly powerful tool for businesses of all sizes to promote their products and services online. Users can create customized ads that are targeted to specific audiences and demographics which allows businesses to reach potential customers.

Businesses should focus on the quality of ads, and how accurate their wording or how clear it sounds. By doing so consumers will have more trust in choosing your website as it looks more reliable than others. I personally look for clear straight to the point websites, that

Week 1. MKTG 3349 - Chat Gpt

Image
       ChatGPT is an AI-powered chatbot that uses a deep neural network to process examples and generate text for users to communicate with. People can ask ChatGPT complex questions that other AI chatbots may not be able to answer. Some examples of such questions include writing a cover letter, planning a trip, and rewriting song lyrics. I asked ChatGPT to rewrite Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" but with lyrics about goats. Surprisingly, the AI-generated song was ready in less than a minute, despite the original song being eleven years old. Although the lyrics didn't sound as catchy or pleasing to the ear, they were sufficient enough.  ChatGPT is an excellent resource because it is free and provides fast-generated results. It gives us a closer look at how AI can benefit many industries. I used to be against AI as I believed it created many more problems; like taking jobs away from individuals. However, I realized that ChatGPT is incredibly beneficial; normally when
