Voice presents a unique opportunity for brands to become a seamless component of their customers’ day-to-day lives. Nearly every industry is dipping its toes into the voice pool, but few brands have been able to develop experiences with true lasting power. In fact, only 6% of voice experiences are retained by users after the first week of use, according to VoiceLabs.
While still a hit-or-miss venture, many companies and industries are realizing increased revenue, differentiation, and engagement by investing in voice as a first-class citizen alongside their traditional digital assets.
