In 2024, more businesses will use VR and AR to enhance customer experience. This includes using VR to provide virtual tours of products and services and using AR to provide interactive product information.

In 2024 we expect to see even more businesses investing in omnichannel solutions. This includes using technology to connect data and systems across all channels and training to ensure that employees can provide a consistent experience regardless of the channel a customer uses.
5. AI and Machine Learning-Powered Customer Service
Businesses of all sizes are leveraging AI and ML to enhance customer service. These technologies can automate tasks, personalize interactions, and provide 24/7 support.
