Change your habits and let AI make Recommendations instead of you

Sep 3 / Dominik Królikowski

In today's fast-paced world of customer engagement, it's so important to understand your customers' preferences and tailor your offerings accordingly. While traditional business rules are great, they can sometimes limit the full potential of your marketing strategies. To truly thrive, it's essential to overcome the mental barrier of relying on AI instead of conventional business rules and human expertise. We know it can be tough to let go of what you know, but it's so important to embrace the possibilities that AI and human expertise can bring together! We all know that experience is priceless, but AI is pretty amazing at analysing huge amounts of data and adapting in real time, which can help us gain insights we might otherwise miss. By embracing AI, you can make more precise, data-driven decisions that will really help your business to flourish! 


AI has totally transformed the way businesses operate, especially when it comes to delivering those all-important personalised customer experiences. With AI-driven recommendations, you can analyse enormous amounts of customer data in real time, uncovering insights that traditional methods might miss. This means you can offer the perfect product or service to the right customer at the right moment – something that generic business rules simply can't achieve! 

 

Have you ever found that business rules don't quite meet your needs?
 
 

Business rules are a great way to make sure everyone's on the same page when it comes to decision-making. But sometimes, they can be a bit limited. They often rely on static criteria that can't keep up with the ever-changing customer behaviours or market trends. These rules are based on historical data and logical assumptions, which is great for a lot of things, but they don't have the flexibility and deep analysis that AI can deliver.  


For instance, a business rule might suggest that customers who buy product A are likely to be interested in product B. While this could be true for some, it doesn't take into account individual preferences, purchasing habits, and context. In contrast, AI takes into account a multitude of factors – including browsing history, purchase patterns, and even time of day – to deliver highly personalised recommendations tailored to each customer. 

 

A/B testing is the solution.   

Unlock the true potential of AI-driven recommendations. The best way to do this is with A/B testing. This method allows you to directly compare AI-generated recommendations against your current business rules in a controlled experiment. This allows you to clearly see which approach yields better results in customer engagement, conversion rates, and overall satisfaction. 


The key features of A/B testing in Synerise are as follows: 


  1. You can start testing immediately, without making any changes to your existing setup. 
  2. You can test up to five variants, including your baseline campaign. 
  3. You can control user exposure to each variant with precision using our automated traffic distribution. 
  4. Get full visibility of your data with comprehensive analytics. Use pre-built dashboards to view critical metrics such as conversion rate, click-through rate, and average revenue. 
  5. Make data-driven decisions and automatically identify winning variants based on statistical significance. 
  6. You can implement successful variants effortlessly without needing developer support. 
  7. You can preview and compare results directly within the module. 


It's time to move beyond traditional business rules, sometimes habits that are not confirmed by numbers, and learn to use A/B testing. Integrate AI into your marketing strategy and you will achieve a more personalized and effective approach that is in line with customer needs and positions your company for long-term success.
