Amazon, Netflix, Zalando - what is the connection of these three companies? It's a desire to be effective. This is a desire to minimize the margin of error. And in effect, it's a desire to be with the customer, "touch" him. Can a machine be better and more effective than a human? Can the real seller be replaced? Can you teach the machine to think? Finally... Yes. With the artificial Intelligence you are able to get to know the client, his needs, goals and then ideally hit the deal.
There is something which shows that Marketing Automation and artificial Intelligence is not a marketing babble. It's success of Amazon.com and Zalando.
Many companies already employ artificial Intelligence in their e-commerce processes. Netflix uses AI to provide personalized recommendations to subscribers, based on their previous choices. Under Armour uses AI to help its customer track their health and sports activities. What is interesting IBM uses Watson (their supercomputer, AI) to psychoanalyze people from their tweets.
What is machine learning and how to use it in your e-commerce?
Your store should be a knowledge base about your customer. Why? Because, it should collect information about customers, then it should process and use them for specified purpose. Machine learning is based on the fact that the algorithm chosen by us looks for rules that describe our knowledge and then uses them for other. In practice, this may be, for example, the Netflix recommendation system.
Subscriber from ecommerce X liked product Y, but there were also group of people, who don't like it. With Machine Learning, we can predict review about product Y by people who have not yet had contact with this product. So it gives you the ability to send an automated email with a recommended product to these people.
"Segment of one" - what's that?
In a very simplistic sense, the concept of a "segment of one" means that wee have the tools and capabilities that we are able to precisely define their needs. In a way that each one is unique.
In very interesting way was designed Zalando page. During the first visit you will see the default home page of the store. With categories, that are already starting to collect the necessary information about you. During your visit, information is much more. Colors, sizes, brands, types. What is the result? During the next visit you'll see a fully personalized home page based on your previous visits. Pretty cool.
