1. Video Marketing Will Continue To Rise in Significance

As we said goodbye to 2021, the video was still one of the hottest ways to garner the attention of prospective customers and that is not stopping anytime soon as we make our way through 2022. Video has become a proven and easy way to consume information in today’s day and age. Not just any video will do, a personalized video is a key to making a lasting impression. Why? It brings your visitor on a journey into your world. Everyone loves a good story and showcasing your business in a story format through video is the best way to do it. The evidence is in the statistics:

  • 81% of global internet traffic from videos made up 80% of all internet traffic in 2021. (via Cisco)
  • 55% of people watch videos online every day (via MWP)
  • 500 million people are watching videos on Facebook every day (via Tubular Insights)
  • You are 53x more likely to show up first on Google if you have a video embedded on your website (via Moovly)
  • 4x as many customers would rather watch a video about a product or service than read about it (via Animoto)
  • YouTube has over a billion users, almost one-third of all people on the internet (via YouTube)

As you can see video is a valuable way to get your message across. Don’t lose out on the opportunity to communicate your brand, explain your value, and build relationships with your audience.

2. Live Video Will Continue To Lead The Way

Live Video is going strong in 2022 with the help of Facebook Live, Twitter Live, TikTok, and Instagram Stories’ Live. For instance, Facebook noted that users spend three times longer watching a live video than a pre-recorded one. What makes live video so unique is its ability to connect a business’s brand with their customer base in real-time. Customers now more than ever are looking for authenticity and a connection with a brand. As an added bonus is there isn’t as much pressure for perfection when it comes to video quality in real-time video than in pre-recorded video. Give live video a try and see how it makes an impact in your brand.

3. Use Of Chatbots and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Will Increase

Artificial Intelligence is growing increasingly as a direct result of social media. Social Media platforms like Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram are jumping on the AI bandwagon, and rightly so. AI is expected to double in spending every year until 2021 according to IDC’s “Worldwide Semiannual Augmented and Virtual Reality Spending Guide.” Automated marketing and customer service will greatly benefit from chatbots and artificial intelligence. Chatbots allow customers to receive instantaneous communication with a brand when it is messaged on social media. This initial contact can do wonders for keeping the prospect engaged through the entire process as the first impression really is everything.

4. Messenger as an eCommerce Option Will Expand

E-commerce options will continue to increase with messaging apps like WhatsApp, Slack, WeChat, and Facebook Messenger. Most of the population tends to gravitate towards Facebook Messenger (61%) and WhatsApp (50%) according to the latest Ofcom Communications Market research.

5. Emergence of Virtual Reality (VR)

Virtual Reality is now a reality with virtual reality headsets such as Oculus Rift and Google Cardboard. For instance, Facebook is jumping in on the action with their advances in the VR world set to appear this year.

6. Micro-Influencer Marketing On The Rise

Influencers that make a personal connection with their audience not only gain followers but also become reliable sources. Research shows that 70% of millennials value the opinion of YouTube influencers over traditional celebrities (via ThinkWithGoogle).

7. Mobile Responsive Websites Are A Must

According to Emarketer, by 2023 the average US adult will spend 4:35 hours per day on a mobile device. Mobile will account for nearly a third of all media time spent.  Therefore, it’s important to make your website mobile accessible with easy-to-digest content.

8. Voice Searches Will Continue to Grow

Searching for a restaurant or store via voice is becoming increasingly popular. Research coming from comScore is showing that 40% of adults are using voice search capabilities on their smartphones and other devices.

9. Organic Reach Will Continue To Decline

To best reach your target audience going forward it will be better to invest in advertising or sponsored content rather than depend on organic reach only. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and LinkedIn offer built-in advertising solutions for reaching your customer base more effectively.

10. A Fresh Focus on Generation Z Will Emerge

2022 will continue to see a heavy focus on Gen Z; the generation born between mid-1990s to early 2000s. In the past both millennials and Gen Z have been targeted the same on social media but going forward Generation Z will be targeted on their platforms of choice: YouTube (31%), Instagram (24%) and Snapchat (14%) (via Our Social Times).

11. Ephemeral Content Will Flourish

Ephemeral content is continuing to make a splash beyond just Snapchat. Therefore, Facebook and Instagram are following in Snapchat’s footsteps by including posts that last for a limited time. This type of content is more relatable and a better approach for connecting with your customers.
