digital marketing trends
1. Shifts to Artificial
Intelligence Marketing
Artificial intelligence is becoming an integral cog in marketing,
and even small businesses can break into the world of artificial
intelligence to some degree. AI marketing is evolving, but right now,
you can implement:
§ Push notifications
§ Retargeting
§ Analysis
§ Chatbots
Upfront costs will lead to long-term savings when implementing AI
into the digital marketing sphere. You’ll want
to use the tools at your disposal to market to your audience without having to
rely on humans in the process.
Push notifications can help alert consumers of new products, and
artificial intelligence can be used to update marketing tactics to save on ad
expenditures or increase conversion rates.
Programmatic advertising is on the rise, and AI will be buying ad
space for a lot of companies this year.
2. Video Marketing
Cisco predicts that video account for 82% of all Internet traffic
by 2021. The video includes Twitch, YouTube, Facebook Live, Netflix, Instagram, and
a variety of other video channels. Video is more engaging and shared more often
on social media than written content.
Retention rates rise with video marketing, so it’s important that
all businesses break into video marketing to some extent.
Video is more expensive to create, but it should be shared on all
social media channels.
If you’re not using video marketing in your digital marketing
strategy, it’s time to start.
3. Personalization is
Key
Consumers are changing their behavior and demands, and one new
demand is the rise of personalization. Marketers have been turning to
personalization for years to be able to increase their reach and conversion
rates.
One recent survey found that 96% of marketers are turning to
personalization to increase their relationships with customers.
You can personalize marketing through:
§ Custom content
§ Analyzing purchase history
§ Custom emails
Behavior-based personalization is key. Personalized emails, for
example, can perform three times better than email blasts.
4. Influencer Marketing
Influencer marketing is on the rise, and this is a key area that
businesses of all sizes are incorporating into their marketing strategy.
Influencers already have their own follower base that is very responsive.
These users buy at higher rates and will engage with
influencers at a higher rate than normal ads.
Influencers can attract customers, and these individuals can
include:
§ Bloggers
§ Celebrities
§ Instagram users
Anyone with a large following can be an influencer, so you must target influencers properly. Journalists can also
be influencers. There are also micro-influencers, and while they
have a lower following than other influencers, they offer highly targeted campaigns that can help you increase your reach and profits.
Businesses should be keeping tabs on new marketing trends in an
attempt to market their products strategically to their demographic
