Abstract

This study investigates the roles of digital marketing and artificial intelligence (AI) in improving sales performance within the media industry in Henan Province, China. With the rapid digitalization of the market, understanding how these technologies impact sales is crucial for maintaining competitiveness. The research focuses on three key areas: the effect of digital marketing and AI on sales performance, employee perspectives on using these technologies, and the relationship between digital marketing and AI in driving sales. Data was collected from 240 respondents via a structured questionnaire distributed through JotForm and Chinese social media platforms. The demographic analysis showed that most respondents were female (74.2%) and aged between 30-39 years (48.3%). Various statistical tests were employed to ensure data validity and reliability, including normality tests, descriptive analysis, T-tests, and bivariate correlation. The normality test confirmed that the data was well-distributed, while descriptive analysis showed high mean scores, indicating respondents’ understanding of the survey items. The T-test revealed no significant difference in the impact of digital marketing and AI on sales performance, suggesting that both technologies contribute equally. A bivariate correlation test showed a moderate positive relationship between digital marketing and AI, highlighting their complementary roles in enhancing sales. The Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.94 confirmed high internal consistency in the data. The study concludes that integrating digital marketing and AI into a cohesive strategy is essential for media organizations to maximize their sales performance. It emphasizes the importance of fostering innovation and constructive competition within media networks to encourage digital transformation. Future research should explore the link between innovative marketing and sales performance, particularly in non-Western contexts.
