You have questions? We’ve got answers

Discover answers to common questions about maximizing your marketing efforts with AIQ.

Why shouldn't I rely on email to reach my customers?
Email alone increasingly fails to engage customers effectively. Filters, delays, and unread messages can hinder your marketing efforts, while other customers simply prefer to communicate throught other services. A modern marketing platform like AIQ delivers messages across multiple channels and ensures your campaigns reach more customers at the right time and place, driving higher conversions.
What should I look for in a marketing platform?
Competition is fierce. To stand out, businesses need more than basic email marketing tools like Mailchimp. AIQ offers advanced features such as loyalty campaigns, AI-driven analytics, and omnichannel outreach to help attract, retain, and drive repeat business. Learn more in our blog, Five must-have solutions to boost customer loyalty.
Isn't it hard to build and manage customer loyalty programs?
Compared to Mailchimp, AIQ simplifies the process of creating and managing customer loyalty programs, making it a more efficient choice for businesses focused on customer retention. While Mailchimp centers around email marketing, AIQ offers a comprehensive, automated approach to loyalty programs, including features like loyalty rules, points systems, rewards, and personalized communication, all ready to use without complex setup.

I've invested heavily in my POS and ecommerce environments. Do I need to replace everything?
