7) Social Messaging Apps

Though it is not a new thing for 2019, social media still has a long way to go.

From the first picture in the morning to the last video at night, everything which an individual sees on social media, whatever he likes, shares and comments on is observed by his or her mind and stays there for a long time.

8) Visual Search

Visual search took the user experience to a totally new level of browsing. With visual search, you can put pictures of things and search for it as to where you will find it? From where you can buy it? What is this about? And so on and so forth.

Pinterest came out with Lens, a visual search tool that allows users to take a photo of an item to find out where to buy it online, search for similar products, or view pinboards of related items.

For instance, you can get details of rare artefacts, paintings, monuments, outfits, places to visit, business contacts and many more.

9) Social Media Stories

2019 can be the year of stories, people share live moments and work of the day pictures & videos with their followers & friends on almost all social media platforms.

First Snapchat came out with “My Story,” then Instagram and Facebook stories were introduced, and now YouTube has their own story format, “Reels.”  2019

It is imperative to be present, visible and to leverage your brand on Instagram, facebook & other social media platforms that’s how you reach the target audience to build goodwill and recognition for your page and services.

Stories are only updated for 24 hours a day, which not only makes them exclusive but also create a certain kind of urgency to attract the maximum number of views to it. Everyone wants to see it, wants to know about it and hence the brand gets a new and exclusive publicity every single day. A proper social media marketing always benefits the business for the long-term. Social media platforms help to keep engage users and divert them from social media pages to your website. The marketing strategies have reached a new zenith and have so much evolved by the time that we simply can’t even imagine.

10) Inbound Marketing

Inbounding marketing is the art of attracting viewers and potential customers to the brand with the help of well-optimized content and customized offerings to users.

Inbound marketing basically works with three crucial steps that are –
  • Attract
  • Convert
  • Close

Inbound marketing with the help of landing pages, call to action and forms, attracts people and tries to convert them from just viewers to qualified leads. With the help of good content, publishing posts and sharing links that are the very interests of your target audiences you align to their moods and choices which itself is the sole purpose of creating an inbound marketing plan.

Everything that can be used by a brand to influence and attract more and more viewership and building a name for it like blogs, infographics, newsletters, articles, links, posts, video marketing, influencer marketing is a form of inbound marketing.

Basically, inbound marketing works as a magnet of good content and customisation which pulls the users to your brand and is very beneficial in establishing the brand in the long-term.

11) Mobile Version Websites

Google is using the mobile first indexing for websites, which is helpful in many ways as firstly it makes sure that a website must have a good mobile version website to rely on, Thus google initially adds the mobile version in its index and thus a good mobile-friendly version of the website is necessary to keep the ranking of the website in the google searches get high and get going.

A good mobile version is important as a large part of the audience uses the mobile for searches and nobody has the time to sit and explore on a desktop, so it also makes it clear that all the content that is available on the desktop website must be accessible on the mobile version as well.

Keeping track and participating in all these categories indiscriminately will certainly bring the development a business seeks in digital marketing. A good presence on the internet is half work done. Digital marketing is the only market where you can find different free of cost tools to make sure your business is going in the right direction that is north and north of course.

    1. Hi Jerry,

      Content marketing is a part of digital marketing.

      Content can be anything from writing a blog post to creating photos, videos, and even creating playlists. It stimulates consumer interest in a brand.

      Digital marketing, on the other hand, includes strategies like SEO, SEM, PPC or running ads on social media. The aim here is to capture leads & conversions.
