3 Benefits Of Conversational AI In The Consumer Electronics Industry

Is your consumer electronic business struggling to boost customer engagement with users throughout their shopping journey?  Are you looking for a modern user engagement strategy that will make users enjoy shopping at your store?

The Indian consumer electronics market is rapidly expanding. By 2025, the industry, worth $10.93 billion in 2019, is predicted to be worth $21.18 billion. This upsurge significantly resulted from consumers’ changing lifestyles, rising demand, and improved consumer buying capacity. Apart from that, as the government decides to spend heavily on electricity, we will start seeing an uptick from the rural sector as well.

Consumer technology firms, on the other hand, are battling several headwinds due to the intensifying competition. The consumer purchasing experience has become highly complex owing to the multitude of market alternatives and changing consumer behaviour.  Every appliance’s ultimate purchasing choice is influenced by several factors, such as early awareness, Internet ratings, previous experiences with the brand, as well as its price.

Key CX problems faced by businesses in the Consumer Electronics space:

• Consumers are spoilt by the plethora of choices.
• Consumers don’t trust people easily with recommendations.
• Consumers want a hassle-free and quick purchase experience.
• Consumers want better after-sales support.

Benefits of conversational AI for consumer electronics businesses:

• Available 24*7 to customers.
• Offers convenience in online shopping.
• Enhances customer engagement by making shopping more conversational.
• Order status and tracking notifications.
• Timely notifications of discounts and limited offers.
• Ease in booking and obtaining after-sales support.
