The digital world is becoming increasingly advanced and is taking the world by storm. You can see how digital marketing is evolving and upgrading at a rapid pace if you remember what it was before or in its early stages. Keeping up with this growth is our duty and priority as marketers and technology professionals. Here’s a list of digital marketing trends to follow in 2023.
Welcome to the Metaverse!
The IT trend in digital marketing. The Metaverse is a broad term that refers to a variety of immersive virtual experiences that take place online, usually in collaboration with others. Starbucks, Nike, and a slew of other major corporations have announced metaverse experiences. While the metaverse is generating buzz, most businesses do not yet have practical use cases (or ROI). 2023 is the year you can begin experimenting with the metaverse and immersing yourself personally. Look for new opportunities for your company to participate in, and keep an eye on what others in your industry are doing. Most businesses are still experimenting with the metaverse, so don't feel stressed about it.
Hello artificial intelligence
All marketing is powered by artificial intelligence (AI). AI integration into almost every digital marketing channel has been one of the quietest trends in digital marketing over the last few years. Algorithms determine which social media posts you interact with, which search results you see, and even which advertisements you see. AI is making marketing smarter by directing customers to the most relevant products and messages. In 2023, you will need to investigate how AI is altering the fundamental aspects of the digital marketing channels you use. Understand how algorithms affect your results and optimize your content strategy to capitalize on this.
Customer Experience
The majority of algorithms and AI in digital marketing optimize for the same thing: providing a better user experience, as this is what matters most. For example, this year's search engine optimization (SEO) updates concentrated on providing users with the most useful content. By focusing more on your customers' experiences, you can outperform algorithms and delight them. In 2023, you must future-proof your digital marketing by focusing on the customer and optimizing their experience. Because all algorithms are designed to improve the user experience, this protects you from future algorithm updates.
Shorts (or in digital marketing slang “reels”)
TikTok and Instagram Reels have proven to be here to stay and even plan on growing bigger with each coming year. Agencies are relying a lot on implementing short videos into their strategies for more revenue for their clients and a wider reach. Make it your 2023 resolution to hop aboard!
Straightforward messages
The short video format has created a significant challenge for marketers and businesses alike. To gain attention on mobile devices, businesses must be able to communicate in brief, snappy soundbites. Spend more time crafting clearer, more straightforward messages. Sound-bite your marketing and brand priorities into concise sentences or quick ideas. Make an effort to mimic popular short video formats and shorten your messages.
Influencers
They hold this name for a reason, and it's simple; they know how to talk, what to say, and where and when. Influencer marketing is a winning strategy for more revenues, more followers, and more honest returns to customers! Influencers will only work with you if you have proven yourself worthwhile, and this alone will allow their followers to trust you. You will be in the spotlight in no time. Always aim for big people and use "wise words" to attract them!
Your employees are your people.
Just like influencers, the people you encounter on a daily basis and work with have a lot to say. Give them the chance to share their positive baggage with the world. Employee profiles and assets are far more effective than business accounts and assets at reaching more people authentically. Using this power is a previously untapped opportunity, particularly in business-to-business (B2B) marketing. Assess the potential for employees to contribute to your marketing efforts and devise a strategy to engage them.
LinkedIn as a B2B Powerhouse
LinkedIn has been around for a long time, but it has recently experienced unprecedented growth and engagement. In two years, it is expected to account for 25% of B2B advertising. Businesses are increasingly able to use the platform to expand. Despite this, very few businesses take advantage of it. I guess that LinkedIn will continue to grow, and the opportunity will expand. Get in early to win disproportionately. Strategically incorporate LinkedIn into your plans. Improve your content. Expand your audience and look for updated features and opportunities to help you succeed faster.
Lastly, remember the roots.
While the metaverse, Web 3.0, NFTs, and AI can be distracting, the reality of digital marketing is that the foundations of digital marketing still account for the majority of results for most businesses. Your website, SEO, email, social media, paid ads, community management, and reputation management will all contribute significantly to your results. Gain a competitive advantage by improving your results in these critical areas. Make a plan to improve and accelerate the results of your current efforts.
