Branding will continue on top
You cannot have a business without a brand, because when consumers check your products or services, the next step in the decision-making process is to search your company (give a Google) and learn more about its owners. Try to answer the following questions:
-When the visitor or your client access your site, what will he find?
- Your social media profiles show what you do, who you look for as a client, and why?
- Is your personal brand aligned with your business goals?
If the answers were a resounding “yes” you are prepared to stand ahead of the competition and on the right path for people to recognize you and your brand when they see you. Therefore, you need to be present in the digital and physical world, consistent with your online and offline messages and active in the places your audience attends.
Have a responsive site (look here I'm saying this again, hammering...) that suits the screens of smartphones and mobile devices. Use really relevant content to highlight your brand, but that are easy to access and translate what you want by the target audience.
The same applies for social networks. Constant posts, at least 4x per week, with creativity and common sense make all the difference in delivering the content for better reach. And book some of the budget for paid boosts and ads. Create campaigns that make your brand unforgettable. But always remembering that the consumer does not like to be deceived.
User Generate Content
Building strong relationships with consumers and target audience is more important than ever. In the past, these relationships were known as word-to-mouth marketing. A small businessman would form a bond with a client and tell his friends and acquaintances about the business or brand. This recommendation has always had and still has a positive impact on sales.
Keep in mind that the internet is the latest version of word-to-mouth marketing. Considering that before, people were limited to the circle of friends and family, Internet users can reach millions worldwide.
Many companies have not yet made room for a practice that refers to the marketing of references or recommendation. For this reason, you must adopt the user-generated content. But how do you do it?
Find trusted customers willing to post on your company or products online. On popular social networks like Tik Tok, this type of marketing is quite common. Seek to approach customers or users who can help with this strategy.
Some examples of user-generated content that will become more popular in 2023:
- Videos posted by the user on social networks where the person is using the product/sharing their opinion about it.
- Hashtags that will create online followers and attract people to participate.
- Unboxing of products (mainly on Youtube channels)
- Create challenges for customers (share a photo of you interacting with a brand) where customers can win a prize.
Many small companies are already using user-generated content in their favor. This will become more important to you if you want to stay within digital trends in 2023.
Messages in real time
Personalizing service and sales is the key to making your customer choose your products and services. You can achieve this by sending real-time messages with your potential customer. Several chat platforms can help you get to know your customers better.
One of the most used platforms in Brazil is WhatsApp, which should earn important updates in 2023, facilitating interactions and relationships. Popular for messaging, today has become one of the main sales and service channels for small businesses and businesses.
Chatbots will continue to be strategic tools to avoid letting go of prospects and customers who reach you via the website or even on social networks. Try to find out the advantages of conversational marketing.
You can create a custom sales strategy for each customer using your chat data between you and them. This increases the chances of a successful sale, as your customer will think that the product or service was designed exclusively for him.
Video content and podcasts
You should work with the perspective that not all your possible customers or visitors want to read long texts on websites or blogs. However, people are attracted to moving graphics, as they provide more information in less time. Thus, it is ideal to incorporate video-based content into your digital marketing strategy so that the user stays on your page longer.
The videos are captivating and successfully capture the user's attention. Use creative videos to make the audience stop and look at your web page. It is an excellent way to promote your business, including the main points of sale in your video.
Podcasts, usually recorded on video, can be a viable alternative to disclose their products and services, using themes and content that attract and arouse the interest of users. Try to create relevant content without selling your business directly, but offering suitable solutions and people see some value in it.
Seeking partnerships with influencers or companies that already have podcasts in progress, may be a good alternative to save resources and also reach their target audience.
Email marketing never goes out of style
It comes out year, year in and email marketing remains one of the oldest and most attractive digital marketing trends. Data is there: 82% of business marketers say that the use of newsletters by email is still the main method for brand promotion.
Have you ever wondered why this method is still relevant when we have communication options on social networks and more functional and practical messaging applications?
The main reason is that content often does not reach people through networks, as it is highly filtered by platforms that limit organic reach to favor ads. However, this is not the case with emails, because at a low cost they transmit their message directly to the user without the threat of being ignored due to privacy and filters.
Try to use shooting tools that offer ready or customizable templates to facilitate marketing management, as well as track metrics and test. Never leave the email, it remains a traditional and effective trend for lead relationships.
Data for search for efficiency
We know that content remains king, but you cannot rely on assumptions when deciding what kind and means of content to produce. To maximize your marketing budget, enhance your decisions with data. The appropriate metrics help you understand who your customers are, what they want and the best way to reach them.
Nobody likes to throw money away, right? Therefore, align your goals with consistent data that focus on the proposed strategies. Through the data you achieve better segmentation of the desired audience, offers competitive differentials with the competition, identifies trends and consumption patterns for your sector of activity and achieves more assertive decision making.
Conclusion
It is true that there are so many other trends and new developments that can be applied in marketing, such as Artificial Intelligence (increasingly high), interactive features and videos on social networks that exploded this year with Tik Tok and should advance in 2023.
But the most important thing is to focus on the basics. Internet users do not want to read content that seems to have been produced by a robot. Instead, they seek a human and personal aspect for what they read, as I am doing periodically here on the Vox National Blog.
For this reason, the content generated by AI will not become more popular next year. Although sites may have more AI resources, the content will still be created by humans and with great creativity.
