Speaker 1:Without having to actually make a million phone calls, right.
Speaker 2:Okay, ready for something even more high tech?
Speaker 1:Hit me.
Speaker 2:Let's talk about AI powered content creation.
Speaker 1:Ooh okay, Now this is where it gets really futuristic.
Speaker 2:A little bit, but in a good way. It's like having a super powered brainstorming buddy.
Speaker 1:So not robots taking over my entire marketing strategy.
Speaker 2:Not quite. Think of it more like, let's say, you're stuck on a headline for your new promotion.
Speaker 1:Happens to the best of us. Writer's block is real.
Speaker 2:You can actually plug in what you have into local biz. Domination CRM and their AI engine will give you a bunch of options.
Speaker 1:No way.
Speaker 2:It analyzes your text and generates headlines tailored to your message.

Speaker 2:It's learning from your content, which is pretty cool.
Speaker 1:Very cool, but remember you're always in control.
Speaker 2:Always, you get to choose what you like, tweak it to fit your brand's voice, all of that.
Speaker 1:Okay, that makes me feel better. Now you mentioned A-B testing earlier. Can we dig into that a little more?
Speaker 2:Absolutely. It's like a science experiment, but for your marketing. Let's say you've got two different subject lines for an email.
Speaker 1:Okay, so I'm trying to decide between, like new arrivals you'll love versus what's a good one.
Speaker 2:Sale alert 20% off your favorites. Something catchy like that.
Speaker 1:Yes, okay, love it. So I've got my two options.
Speaker 2:What do I do? You send each version to a small portion of your email list and see which one performs better.
Speaker 1:So you're testing the waters before you do a full cannonball.
Speaker 2:Exactly. It takes the guesswork out of it.
Speaker 1:That's awesome Data-driven decisions. I like it.
Speaker 2:Exactly, and this is just scratching the surface. Then you've got things like multi-channel campaigns.

Speaker 2:Way beyond. Think about it. Someone visits your website, signs up for your newsletter. With a tool like Local Biz Domination CRM, that action can trigger a whole chain reaction.
Speaker 1:Okay, I'm intrigued. What kind of chain reaction are we talking about here?
Speaker 2:So they get a welcome email, obviously. Then a few days later, maybe they get a personalized text message with a special offer. Oh it's smart. And then, sprinkled in, you've got targeted social media posts showcasing your products.
Speaker 1:So, no matter where they are online, they're getting those reminders.
Speaker 2:Subtle but effective.
Speaker 1:I like it. It's all connected.
Speaker 2:Exactly, and the best part is, you set it up once and then the platform. Speaking of working smarter, not harder, we've got to talk about customer retention, because keeping those loyal customers happy is key?
Speaker 1:Oh, absolutely. It's much easier to sell to someone who already loves your stuff.
Speaker 2:That's 100 percent. And that's where those workflow templates in local biz domination CRM come in handy again. Those automated follow ups are pure gold.
Speaker 1:Give me an example, paint me a picture.
Speaker 2:Let's say, someone just booked a table at your restaurant.
Speaker 1:Okay, they're coming in for your famous spaghetti carbonara.
Speaker 2:Perfect. So the next day they get a nice little thank you email automatically, maybe with a link to leave a review, smart and then a couple weeks later they get another message reminding them about your new seasonal menu.
Speaker 1:It's like you've got this, this invisible marketing assistant just taking care of business.
Speaker 2:Exactly and because you know you can customize these campaigns, you can get really specific. Let's say you're a baker Right and you know some customers just can't get enough of that gluten free sourdough which, let's be real, is a gift to the world. Right. So when you're running a special on gluten-free goodies, boom Targeted message just for them.
Speaker 1:It's like you're reading their minds, but really it's just you know, smart automation at work.
Speaker 2:Exactly, and all of this means you get time back, time you used to spend doing all this manually.
Speaker 1:Which, let's face, it can feel like a black hole sometimes.
Speaker 2:It can be a real time suck, but now you've got those hours back to focus on I don't know what's something you would rather be doing than agonizing over email subject lines.
Speaker 1:I'd probably be whipping up some new culinary creations, honestly Testing out recipes. Get my hands dirty. Or maybe just taking a nap.
Speaker 2:There you go. That's what I'm talking about, Because automation it's not about becoming a slave to technology.
Speaker 1:Right, it's about leveraging it to work for you.
Speaker 2:Exactly, it's about giving you the freedom to do what you do best to build your business, to connect with your customers on a human level.
