By connecting to the internet or other digital networks with Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (the Internet of Things-IoT), data analytics and other digital technologies, intelligent products are able to analyze consumers' behavior and preferences, optimize themselves by learning over time with the data they obtain, and react according to environmental factors, user needs or location. It can be said that smart products, ranging from smartphones to many devices used in homes, have become an integral part of users' daily lives. With smart products, brands can collect data about users' past behaviors and current situations, and develop marketing strategies by delivering the right message, special (personalized) content and offers at the right time.
