Generative AI & Direct Mail
Generative AI is transforming the way brands communicate with their audiences in digital and print formats. This useful technology can reduce labor costs, increase the ROI on marketing campaigns, and improve customer experience.
What is generative AI in marketing?
Generative AI involves the creation of original content such as music, images, computer code, and marketing copy. Content generated by AI has applications in both digital and print channels. Direct mail can utilize advertising/marketing copy as well as images generated by AI.
This type of AI works by using LLMs (large language models), machine learning, and even adversarial networks that rely on two competing networks to generate copy, music, and images that mimic human creativity quite well.
Consumers are exposed to AI more than one might think. From customer service chatbots to brand messaging on social media, generative AI has become a staple in most people’s everyday lives.
How can generative AI be used with direct mail campaigns?
In simple applications, AI can assist with creating mail copy and graphics or images on direct mail. In more advanced situations, AI is used to analyze data from previous campaigns and digital channels along with consumer information to develop highly personalized marketing campaigns with segmented audiences.
In a nutshell, generative AI presents a lot of marketing possibilities for diverse enterprises. It can streamline the entire process of content creation while improving engagement with consumers.
