SMS & WhatsApp AI Automation
AI chatbots automate lead nurturing through personalized messages, reminding customers about promotions, cart abandonments, and new arrivals.

Augmented Reality (AR) Lead Generation
Retailers are using AI-driven AR features that allow customers to try virtual products before buying, increasing engagement.

Overcoming Challenges in AI-Powered Lead Generation
While AI and chatbots offer immense benefits, retailers must address challenges to ensure success:

Data Privacy & Security
Retailers must comply with data protection laws (like GDPR) to shop secure customer information and avoid legal issues.

Human-AI Balance
While AI excels at automation, certain situations require human intervention. Businesses must ensure smooth transitions when necessary.

Avoiding Generic Responses
Retailers need AI chatbots with advanced personalization features to avoid robotic interactions.
