Fashion trends? No! Trends to stay up-to-date, trends to keep up with other brands, trends to know how to face the market. This time I want to talk to you about how important it is to keep up to date with everything and how this could help you get 2021 on the right foot.
Digital marketing is, in definition, changing. It depends on technological advances and the behavior of users within the web. In this way, it is necessary to know the current marketing trends and have an overview of the trends that may come in the future.
Knowing marketing trends benefits the creation of a strategy, prioritizing the most relevant actions. Likewise, it allows us to describe and determine a budget, managing to visualize the news before they occur and be one step ahead of the competition.
What are marketing trends?
Imagine the following scenario: you are immersed in your world without looking beyond your borders, an important event occurs. And suppose you are in the advertising business, the agencies that are your competition will know how to face this change or event thanks to their perseverance in following trends. And you? How do you catch up if you don’t know what’s going on around you?
Following a trend means knowing each change or action that happens around the world of marketing, to create strategies based on what is happening, and go one step ahead of others.
Following trends allows you to identify patterns of consumer behaviors or any type of audience, to design successful business plans thanks to these opportunities.
Advantages of following trends
- You will be able to know not only your market but everything that surrounds it: habits, perceptions, consumer expectations, interests, etc.
- You will be prepared for changes and unforeseen events, having adaptation plans for the business in hand.
- You will have the opportunity to create a marketing strategy that allows you to meet the customer’s needs.
- By following them you will be able to create innovative projects thanks to the fact that you will understand the context and place of your brand or business within the market.
What could happen if you ignore the trends?
Basically, you will not know what to do when certain changes or unforeseen situations occur in your brand or business. You will be in a very vulnerable position and when you want to solve that problem it will be too late.
Consumers want everything for now, and if you do not invest energy, resources, and time in knowing them, others will take advantage of the opportunity and win you, providing effective and successful solutions to the clients who are looking for them.
Those clients are also aware of everything that is happening, so the effort today has to be much greater. If you don’t follow them, you won’t have the ability to generate proposals that give you an advantage over the competition.
Marketing actions that will continue to be a trend in 2021
Immediate content
The stories of social networks are a perfect example of this type of content, it is so much the “boom” of this type of content that even a social network like Twitter, which was a little more reluctant to use them, it was decided almost at the end of the year to implement them and there it was They call it “Fleets.”
Subscriptions
The exclusivity and time savings of subscriptions will be a business model that will not cease to be a trend in 2021, and I sincerely believe that it never will. The best examples I can give you are Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus, Spotify, and many other platforms, which are here to stay and little by little evolve to offer quality content.
Personalized content
Both the advertising and the organic content you create must be customizable, everything you generate to engage an audience must make them feel identified. This is one of the actions that will remain a trend in the world of digital marketing for much longer.
