The sales jargon:   "AI generated realistic human avatars creating identity driven advertising".

The key is that combination of traditional know-how and generative AI. It gives us the freedom to create advertising video with no actors, no filming and no fancy locations, sets or scenery.
 
The AI generates the characters and surroundings : old fashioned video editing turns it into 5 star advertising.

OK, that's the digits dealt with, now...

Digital Marketing is actually the easy bit ... which is why some many businesses try to do their own.
 
The difficult part of marketing is all about your customers ... and this can be far more important than what goes on the shelf in your shop.

What is the most vital part of selling?

It's 2 words that make a huge difference:   Customer Experience

Have the rules changed?

If you've been following my Akti-Biz series, you will remember that I put forward a theory about how marketing came into existence.
 
Alongside this, I suggest that, from the very earliest days of retail business, creating a good customer experience came as second nature ... because we're dealing with human nature.
 
Human nature has not changed; the rules of retail have not changed ... which is why the need to create a great customer experience has not changed.

Why do you need Aktileda?

You need Aktileda because there are 2 sides to every customer retail experience ... the business owner's experience and the customer's experience ... to which you've just asked, "Seriously??"
 
Well yes, seriously ... the business owner needs to have just as good a retail experience as the customer.
 
If you've just spent a small fortune on your business, but your retail is pitfully small, you're not going to have a great customer experience.
 
There are many reasons why this can happen ... and if you're struggling with the problem, you'll need a good marketer to sort it out.

Is marketing a serious business?

The basic rules for the human retail experience are the same for every customer and every business.
 
But recognising them, and adapting them to align with your business ... now, that's serious marketing.
 
Which is probably why so few marketing agencies talk about the concept!
