Transforming intent-based marketing with conversational engagement

In today's digital marketing sphere, the game is all about understanding and tapping into what your customers want, and providing exactly that, when they want it. That's where intent-based marketing swoops in, sharpening its focus on decoding the 'why' behind consumer behaviours. But, let's spice things up a bit. Enter conversational engagement—think SMS, WhatsApp, other messaging apps, and all those real-time interactions. Platforms such as Pendula are not just joining the party; they're changing the vibe by making these interactions smarter, faster, and a lot more personalised.

Diving into intent-based marketing

Intent-based marketing is like being a mind reader. Instead of throwing ads left and right, it's about catching the signals—those digital breadcrumbs people leave as they meander through the web. Whether it's a late-night search for a pizza place or a deep dive into a tech gadget, each action tells a story of potential intent to buy or learn more and you should be capturing these signals for downstream use.

Conversational Engagement: The cool kid at the party

Here's where conversational engagement comes into play. It's about having those smooth, natural conversations that can guide customers through their journey. Pendula, for instance, nails this by letting businesses automate conversations that feel both personal and timely. Imagine getting a friendly nudge from a supplier via SMS or WhatsApp right when you're hesitating on that final click to purchase—it's like having a helpful assistant, just online. Or it’s Friday night, the footy has just started, and you see a Pizza advert, and then, as if through ESP, you get an offer from a local Pizza Delivery spot right to your phone…. Simply type YES to order.

It’s almost subliminal!

How Pendula mixes it up
