💡The Real KPI Thai SME’s Care About

It’s 2025, and Thai SME’s are asking the only question that matters: How many paying customers did my marketing bring in? 

Yet, traditional agencies still wave around click-through rates, impressions, and “engagement” as proof of success. They look great in a PowerPoint slide - but they don’t fill your appointment book or bring in actual income. 

The Reality? Thai SMEs are battling shrinking credit lines, rising advertising costs, and aggressive e-commerce platforms that erode their margins. Every wasted lead hurts twice as much. Without AI automation to capture, nurture, and convert, potential customers slip away - and they don’t come back. 

The good news? There’s a way to stop the leaks and turn interest into income

🚨The Problem: Views But No Buyers

Traditional Marketing Agencies in Thailand often focus on: 

• Impressions & Click Through Rate (CTR) - high numbers, low conversions

• Broad Targeting - Leads with no purchase intent 

• One-off campaigns - no nurture or follow-up system

In a market where 60-70% of small business sales happen via phone or chat, every missed conversation equals lost revenue. Without AI chatbot tools or workflow automation, follow-ups fall through the cracks. 

📊 Evidence from the Thai Market

• Dot Property used an AI-powered WhatsApp chatbot and increased booked property viewings by 60% - without human intervention. 

• FazWaz deployed AI voice calling for landlord outreach, hitting a 97% response rate. 

• By contrast, one agency campaign achieved 200,000 impressions - but zero bookings

The difference? Automation that closes the gap between a click and a confirmed booking 

🧐 Why the Disconnect Persists

1. Agency Incentives - they get paid for ad spend, not conversions 

2. Lack of Technical Integration - No CRM or business process automation to track lead-to-sale

3. Cultural Misalignment - Thai customers prefer Facebook/WhatsApp over email; agencies still design for Western markets

4. Short-Term Thinking - Campaigns stop at awareness instead of building a marketing automation funnel
