We live in an era where customers expect personalized, fast, and relevant experiences.
It’s no longer enough to send the same message to everyone — today, the brands that succeed are those that understand and anticipate each user’s needs.
This is where artificial intelligence (AI) becomes the best ally for digital marketing.
With more than 15 years of experience integrating strategy, technology, and marketing in Colombia, Digisap has helped companies in sectors such as hospitality, gastronomy, and retail use AI to optimize campaigns, create personalized experiences, and increase sales — without relying solely on paid advertising.
1. The new marketing paradigm: Data-driven personalization
In the past, segmentation relied on basic demographic data (age, city, gender).
Today, thanks to AI applied to digital marketing, brands can analyze behavior, emotions, buying patterns, and browsing contexts in real time.
This allows them to:
- Show the right message at the ideal moment.
- Design unique experiences for each user.
- Improve loyalty and conversion rates.
In cities like Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali, companies that implemented smart personalization strategies with Digisap have reported up to 45% increases in customer retention and 30% growth in direct sales.
2. How artificial intelligence transforms the customer experience
1. Smart recommendations
AI analyzes user interests and browsing history to suggest personalized products or services.
Example: a guest who books a room with an ocean view automatically receives an offer for a massage or romantic dinner.
Benefit: higher conversion probability and a more relevant buying experience.
2. Dynamic segmentation
AI algorithms create audience segments in real time based on behavior, purchase frequency, or engagement.
Instead of sending a generic campaign, AI adapts messages to each customer’s profile.
Digisap uses smart CRM systems that automatically group customers as “active,” “recurring,” or “at risk,” optimizing communication with each segment.
3. Chatbots and automated service
AI-powered conversational chatbots are among the most powerful tools for improving customer experience.
They answer questions, manage reservations, and offer personalized recommendations 24/7.
For example, a restaurant in Medellín can automate its WhatsApp service and offer menus or promotions based on user preferences.
Result: less operational workload, greater efficiency, and better customer service.
4. Behavior and demand prediction
Through predictive analytics, AI can anticipate when a customer is likely to buy again or when to send a promotion.
In hospitality, this helps adjust rates before high seasons; in gastronomy, it supports designing menus based on trending preferences.
5. Omnichannel personalization
AI integrates data from multiple touchpoints (website, social media, email, CRM) to create a unified view of the customer.
For instance, a person who viewed a dish on Instagram can receive an email with a special offer or a direct message with a personalized coupon.
3. Success stories in Medellín
Sibari Restaurante
Implemented an AI-based recommendation system developed by Digisap, which suggests dishes and drinks based on each customer’s history.
Result: a 38% increase in cross-sales and a notable improvement in customer satisfaction.
Binn Hotel
Binn Hotel, known for its premium service in Medellín, worked with Digisap to implement an intelligent offer automation system and predictive analytics.
The system detects guest behavior and adapts personalized promotions based on booking profiles.
Result: a 37% increase in complementary sales (spa, restaurant, and experiences) and a 25% improvement in frequent guest retention.
Zarzo Hotel
Zarzo integrated AI into its CRM to deliver personalized experiences based on dining behavior and preferences.
For example, customers who order specific wines or dishes receive tailored recommendations on their next visit.
In just six months, Zarzo achieved a 40% increase in repeat reservations and steady growth in customer loyalty.
4. Common mistakes when using AI in digital marketing
Relying completely on automation
AI enhances strategy but doesn’t replace creativity or the human touch.
Content quality and communication tone remain decisive factors.
Poor data quality
If your customer data is incomplete or outdated, results will be inaccurate.
Maintaining a clean, updated, and well-structured database is essential.
Implementing AI without a clear goal
Artificial intelligence must serve a measurable purpose: more conversions, greater retention, or improved experience — not just “keeping up with trends.”
5. Practical steps to implement AI in your marketing strategy
- Centralize your customer data in a CRM or analytics system.
- Define clear goals: personalize offers, automate service, or improve conversion.
- Select the right tools: chatbots, recommendation engines, predictive analytics, or smart email marketing.
- Integrate AI with your website and social media platforms.
- Monitor and optimize results using metrics such as conversion rate, retention, or average order value.
