In our last blog post we shared 4 marketing trends for 2024. This week we are sharing 3 more trends to help make your marketing better and more authentic.
1) Harness social listening in your marketing strategy
Real-time interactions and customer insights on social media provide excellent opportunities to develop relationships and create a positive customer experience. This is also a great way to conduct competitive research and discover market trends. Statista projects that the number of social media users worldwide will reach 5.17 billion in 2024; that’s A LOT of consumer insights.
In addition, monitoring public sentiment about your company online provides a platform for reputation management, transparency, and engagement. Did you mess up something? Was that ad campaign tone deaf? Was the social post inaccurate? Own it and build trust with authentic communication!
2) Partner with influencers your audience follows
These ready-made brand ambassadors can drive authentic engagement with your target audience. They may be product gurus or subject matter experts. Either way, they can provide credibility to your brand organically.
3) Foster connections through online communities
Join your target demographic where they’re already connecting with other like-minded consumers on social platforms—and see how you can add value to their conversations.
Incorporating these trends into your brand marketing will generate a better user experience, stronger brand loyalty, and positive word of mouth. If you’d like to discuss how to bring more authentic messaging into your marketing mix, let’s schedule a call.
