The future is here. It’s the next big wave, revolutionizing life – like the computer revolution, the internet and the iPhone. You know how you rely on Siri and Alexa to help you? AI is like this, but on steroids.
Meet ChatGPTYou’re already using AI. It’s embedded in your online searches, social media algorithms, your smart phone, GPS car navigation systems, security systems, facial recognition, and more. But ChatGPT, a user friendly open-source version of AI, is recently widely available for all to use. And it’s free! It’s already revolutionizing business and all aspects of personal life. Many programs are already incorporating AI, including the search engine Bing.
When ChatGPT was launched on Nov. 30, 2022 by Open AI, it reached an estimated 100 million active users within 2 months, making it the fastest growing consumer application in history. It took TikTok 9 months to reach this goal, and Instagram 2.5 years.

TIP: Go to chat.openai.com. Where it says “Send a message,” type in your prompt. This is your question, your request. Be specific. The more targeted and specific your prompt, the more useful your answer will be. You can ask ChatGPT to provide the answer from a certain perspective, like “answer like you’re talking to a 5th grader” or “answer as a marketing/PR expert.” You can start out using ChatGPT like a search engine, or like you’re asking Siri a question, but it’s capable of much more.
Create a marketing campaign. Stuck for new promotional or advertising ideas? Briefly describe your business and ask ChatGPT for fresh ideas and suggestions. Be specific. “Give 5 ideas for a marketing campaign for Mother’s Day, a Designer Trunk Show, or the Holidays.” Not exactly what you had in mind? Ask ChatGPT to refine according to your market, your store, or the type of advertising you’re most interested in (online, social media, print).
Generate 10 Tag Lines. Boost your creativity! Ask ChatGPT for fresh ideas. Example prompt: “Give 10 names for a store specializing in selling diamond engagement rings.” One ChatGPT answer: “Love Rocks.” Example follow up prompt: “Give 10 tag lines for the business Love Rocks.” One ChatGPT answer: “Diamonds That Rock Your World.”

Meet your new copywriter. Need help writing documents, such as emails, letters, press releases, ads, even procedures and policies for your store? Ask ChatGPT. Make your prompts as specific as possible. “Write a press release to send out to local area magazines, radio and TV stations, announcing our 10th anniversary celebration and specials.”
