CleverTap predicts the top MarTech trends for 2024

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and MUMBAI, India, Jan 23, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – CleverTap, the all-in-one engagement platform today announced the top 2024 MarTech Trends which will transform the way brands deliver customer experiences.

The convergence of data privacy regulations, advancements in AI and increasing demand for personalized content will redefine the MarTech landscape. Among other areas, here’s where CleverTap anticipates seeing the most activity in 2024:

1. AI: the new-age consultants

As customer engagement evolves, Generative AI will go beyond mere suggestions to definitive prescriptions. It will guide brands toward optimal courses of action, transforming customer engagement into not only a personalized but strategically optimized experience. In 2024, this development will manifest in two key areas: content prescription and customer engagement strategies. In content prescription, it will allow brands to analyze data, predict resonant content for specific customer cohorts, and generate new content. Prescriptive customer engagement strategies will enable proactive customer journey orchestration, granular user segmentation for hyper-personalization, and predictive analytics that anticipate needs and forecast long-term revenue impact.

2. From Return On Investment (ROI) to Return on Experiences (ROX)

While ROI has historically been the way to evaluate campaigns: “money in vs money out”, 2024 will see brands take a more holistic view that extends beyond immediate returns — return on experience (ROX). The approach will continually evaluate the long-term impact on customer experiences. It will be a more nuanced and precise metric for gauging customer success, helping marketers look at customer journeys historically and go beyond click-throughs and conversions. Instead, it will consider nuanced metrics such as brand perception, satisfaction, loyalty, and advocacy. The full spectrum of interactions and emotions is responsible for driving user engagement.

3. The gambit of omnichannel will expand

Advancements in generative AI are coming thick and fast. And the chatbots spawned in 2023 will soon transition from being mere large language models to large action models. This means they will not just be able to respond with text, but also act upon commands, giving rise to an era of Generative AI assistants. The Rabbit R1 is already giving the world a pique into this by letting go of traditional apps in exchange for AI. The device’s software is powered by a large action model, or an algorithm that can learn from how users use apps so that it can replicate and automate those processes. In 2024, marketers will contend with the challenge of integrating these AI assistants into their omnichannel engagement strategies.

4. Zero-party data: consensual and accurate

The petabytes of data and insights brands have on their customers comes with a crucial responsibility i.e. ethically navigating this repository of information to deliver the best results while not compromising trust. Customers are increasingly wary of their data, how it’s being used and whether it’s being protected. 2024 will see the end of third-party cookies, the most popular targeting and tracking technique. As brands transition away, they will not only need to align with regulatory changes, but also foster a transparent and trustworthy relationship with their audience. In this new era, the focus on ethical data practices will become a cornerstone of effective and responsible marketing strategies.

Jacob Joseph, VP – Data Science, CleverTap said, “2023 was the year of generative AI, whose profound impact on society had us both excited and cautious about what the future holds. While advancements in the field will make it a sustained talk-point in 2024, other developments will reach a tipping point too. By getting ahead of this curve, we at CleverTap, can not only adapt to these shifts but also innovate and leverage any advancements for the benefit of our customers. This approach ensures that our customers receive unparalleled value and stay at the forefront of the rapidly evolving tech landscape.”

LQR House Announces Transfer of Repurchased Shares to Its Account Held by Its Transfer Agent Following the Commencement of the Buyback Program

MIAMI BEACH, FL, Jan 5, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – LQR House Inc. (the “Company” or “LQR House”) (NASDAQ:LQR), a niche ecommerce platform specializing in the spirits and beverage industry, announces the repurchase of 576,713 of its shares and subsequent transfer of those shares from its brokerage account to its account with its transfer agent, representing 15% of its total outstanding shares.

In a strategic move guided by advice from close advisors, LQR House acknowledges that shares held by its transfer agent would not be available to cover short sales of the LQR’s common stock. Employing this approach, the company anticipates that the repurchased shares will remain beyond the reach of short sellers, establishing a more robust defense against bearish speculation on the stock.

Sean Dollinger, CEO of LQR House, shared insights on this initiative, stating, “Given what I perceive as a persistent challenge from short sellers, I am adopting a proactive stance. I urge shareholders with substantial positions to move their shares from their brokerage accounts to an account with Vstock Transfer, our transfer agent. We’d be happy to offer assistance and can facilitate the email coordination with VSTOCK to aid making this transfer. Feel free to initiate the process by sending an email to sean@lqrhouse.com. Stockholders should be aware that any such transfer would significantly increase the time in which it would take for Stockholders to sell their shares should they desire to do so.”

This proactive step not only may decrease the amount of short sales of LQR’s stock but also reinforces LQR House’s commitment to maintaining a strong and resilient market position. With a focus on transparency and shareholder protection, LQR House remains dedicated to fostering long-term value and stability in the volatile financial landscape.
