Personalised marketing
As digital marketing gets more competitive, marketers will need to go the extra mile to provide unique products or services tailored specifically for individuals.
Content will not just have to be timely and relevant, but will also made to measure.
Experts are anticipating that businesses will need plan their strategies to incorporate platforms that use AI to collect data about individual customers so that template content can be adapted for each prospect’s personal needs.
Social Responsibility
New studies have shown that customers are more likely to buy if a brand shows it is aware of the impact they have on their environment and can demonstrate they are trying to improve their carbon footprint etc.
We would advise you to be careful if you plan to pursue this method of digital marketing, as consumers will be aware of “greenwashing” or “green sheen” where companies deliberately market that they are environmentally friendly in order to persuade the public to buy their merchandise.
Consumer generated content
Also known as User-generated content (UGC), consumer generated content are pictures, texts or videos where your fans give reviews or testimonials on social media.
This form of content can get your brand seen by new audiences through connections by increasing their trust, more than business generated content. It helps your brand to come across as more authentic, so it’s worth including it in your digital marketing strategy.
Chatbots
Chatbots or chatterbots have become more popular in 2022 for conducting online chats, either by text or vocally, with potential buyers.
The use of this software applications frees up the customer service representatives so they can deal with more difficult problems that may occur.
Experts predict in 2023 that chatbots will become more lifelike and be able to deal with more complex issues.
