Chatbot development - A popular strategy to improve communication & brand reputation

Since the inception of marketing and promotion, serving the audience and showcasing the utility factor of the product or service has been one of the many important purposes of brands. The rule was simple. You give value to the customers and they help you grow. More traffic, higher sales and better returns are the end results of a successful campaign. To achieve the same, over time the mediums have changed greatly but the psychology - not much. The methods may have evolved but the objectives remain constant.
