Voice First Strategy for Brands to Increase Customer Engagement and Drive Sales

WHAT IS THE VOICE REVOLUTION?

Voice technology is the ability to speak and ask a question to a device like a smart speaker and get an answer back from a virtual assistant such as Alexa or Siri.

Ask Google Assistant a question such as ‘’what is the most effective way to remove a wine stain?’’, and he will give you tips and solutions as well as the most relevant product for that particular topic. Think how a virtual assistant can recommend your brand in response to a user question. This is game changing and very powerful.
