Marketing is ever-evolving, and nothing proves that more than the innovations and strategy shifts we\u2019ve experienced over the course of the coronavirus pandemic. As you\u2019re planning your marketing strategies for this year, here are some of the top digital marketing trends we suggest keeping an eye on!<\/p>\n

Meta and the Metaverse<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember when Facebook rebranded<\/a> itself to Meta in 2021? According to the press release, \u201cThe metaverse will feel like a hybrid of today\u2019s online social experiences, sometimes expanded into three dimensions or projected into the physical world. It will let you share immersive experiences with other people even when you can\u2019t be together \u2014 and do things together you couldn\u2019t do in the physical world.\u201d We predict that meta is going to be big for small business globally \u2013 there\u2019s even a Meta for Business<\/a> company that aims to \u201claunch and grow your business across all our apps.\u201d Start to consider where your business can fit into the metaverse.<\/p>\n

LinkedIn Love<\/strong><\/p>\n

Companies love LinkedIn<\/a>. There are over 700 million registered users on the platform, and about half of them are active on a monthly basis. When it comes to lead generations and gaining new customers, it\u2019s 227 percent more effective<\/a> than Facebook. We tend to focus a lot on Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube as the most effective social channels for marketing your business, but the numbers are pointing more increasingly to the benefits of tapping into LinkedIn.<\/p>\n

Word of Mouth<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a noisy world out there, with everything from social media influencers to television ads to email promotions all vying for our ears and eyes. That\u2019s what\u2019s making word-of-mouth marketing even more important. Consumers are getting good at tuning out the advertisements they aren\u2019t interested in, but they\u2019re still ready to listen to the advice of a trusted friend or colleague. Our recommendation? Hone in on word-of-mouth marketing<\/a>. Customers are more likely to purchase from a friend-approved brand or company, so make it a priority to improve the customer experience from start to finish\u2014it\u2019ll keep your customers happy, and it\u2019ll encourage them to spread the word of your business.<\/p>\n

Scale it Back<\/strong><\/p>\n

This might seem counter-intuitive to the entire topic of this article, but we have to scale things back in terms of marketing. The ideas that \u201cmore is more\u201d and \u201cquantity over quality\u201d are being phased out in favor of more thoughtful, strategic marketing. Rather than doing a lot of things \u201cwell enough,\u201d switch to becoming an expert in just a couple things. Are you hammering your customers with social media blasts on every platform? Consider stripping down your focus to just one platform and see how engagement rises.<\/p>\n
