In today’s digital era, it comes as no surprise that social media has transformed the way we live and interact. From connecting with friends and family to discovering new trends and ideas, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. But what impact does it have on consumer behavior? How does social media influence our purchasing decisions? In this blog post, we will explore the various ways social media is shaping consumer behavior.

Let’s start by understanding the term “consumer behavior.” It refers to the actions and decisions consumers make when purchasing goods or services. Traditionally, consumer behavior was influenced by factors like personal preferences, brand reputation, and word-of-mouth recommendations. However, with the rise of social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, a new player has entered the arena of consumer decision-making.

One major way social media impacts consumer behavior is through the power of influence. Social media influencers have taken the marketing world by storm, using their platforms to promote products and sway consumer opinions. When a trusted influencer promotes a particular brand or product, their followers are more likely to consider purchasing it. This phenomenon, known as influence marketing, has become an effective strategy for businesses to reach their target audience and increase sales.

Take Instagram, for example. Influencers on this platform have gained millions of followers who eagerly look to them for inspiration and advice. By showcasing their favorite products or endorsing brands, these influencers have the potential to sway thousands, if not millions, of consumers with a single post. This kind of social media influence has revolutionized the way companies market their products, tapping into a new audience through popular influencers.

In addition to influencer marketing, social media platforms themselves have a direct impact on consumer behavior. Through clever algorithms and targeted advertising, social media platforms are able to show users content that aligns with their interests and preferences. This creates a highly personalized experience for consumers, making them more likely to engage with the ads and ultimately make a purchase. Moreover, social media platforms allow users to interact with brands directly, providing feedback, asking questions, and even making complaints. This level of engagement empowers consumers and gives them a sense of control over their purchasing decisions.

Furthermore, social media has created a sense of urgency and fear of missing out (FOMO) among consumers. With the constant stream of updates and limited-time offers, consumers feel the need to act quickly before they miss out on a great deal or trendy product. This fear of missing out has led to impulse purchases and increased consumer spending, further driving the impact of social media on consumer behavior.

Overall, the rise of social media marketing has transformed the way we consume information and make purchasing decisions. Social media influencers have become trusted authorities in their respective niches and have the power to sway consumer opinions. Social media platforms themselves have revolutionized the advertising landscape, providing highly personalized content and fostering direct engagement between consumers and brands. Additionally, social media has fueled a sense of urgency among consumers, leading to impulsive buying behaviors.

In conclusion, social media has had a profound impact on consumer behaviour. It has changed the way businesses market their products and influenced how consumers make purchasing decisions. Whether it’s through influence marketing on Instagram or targeted advertising on Facebook, social media plays a vital role in shaping consumer behavior.

Our team of digital marketing experts will help you navigate the world of social media and harness its potential for business growth.

The Year 2020 has been a year of change both in the real and virtual world. The massive revolution in the Digital World was extraordinary. Some changes were positive and some negative. It was the time of new normal which seemed impossible before.

The year 2020 was the year of  ‘Digital evolution’. Words like Work from Home, Webinars, COVID-19, Social distancing, Quarantine, etc, which we had never heard before became an integral part of our life. It became an essential keyword for digital marketing as customers demanded brands to be more emotionally appealing. It was the time of personalization and responsible marketing which we had never experienced before. 

Some changes in the digital world were evident and for some, we had become the part even without knowing it. In this article, we will discuss the major changes and the ruling trends of the year 2020  which will continue to grow in the coming years too.

Changes in Digital World

New Trends of Digital Marketing:

We all saw a world of new normals and new behavioural changes. We began to see uncertainty before us and we were looking for buying things that seemed like a ‘need’ rather than a ‘want’. As a response to this highly changing environment, the digital marketing world made its own set of Products & Services like

  • Social distancing Support
  • Remote work Support
  • Online Education 
  • Family time Support
  • Entertainment and online products
  • Necessity and medicinal products

If your brand’s products couldn’t fall in any of these lists, then your brand must have probably failed in the 2020 digital marketing world. Making the products & Services seems like a necessity was the secret market formula digital marketers found.

Increase in Digital Activities:

‘Meet your Customers where they are’ is the motto of now. Every small business had optimized their brands into one or the other Social media platforms where targeted audiences were engaged in. 3.80 billion people were engaged in one or the other social media platforms with a penetration of 49% in the year 2020. Social media is now growing to be the most user engaging platform in the digital world.

One in three users was engaged in creating and uploading videos in the lockdown period. The gross engagement rate in gaming and social media messaging services like Facebook, Messenger, and WhatsApp were huge during this period. As the theatres remained close, many became engaged and addicted to the streaming services like amazon prime and Netflix. Series like Money Heist, Family Man, The Sex Education, The Crown and films released through such OTT platforms were able to attract 18+million subscribers in the year 2020.

Customer Focused Marketing:

The 2020 year saw a time of Responsible marketing and personalization in every product sold. The customer services and marketing content were in the need of a  complete alternation as customers began demanding things that satisfied their emotional needs. The customer’s needs during  Covid-19 was the most asked question by business this year. Every brand that came into the Category of luxury started looking for strategies to sound more emotionally appealing. The customers demanded
  •  Virtual Accessibility: Customers began demanding everything they have been getting in the real world to be accessible in the virtual world too. This was highly challenging for businesses. The adaptation to new channels in a short time was way beyond manageable for many small businesses.
  • Emotionally Attaching and Updated Infos: Customers began expecting brands to be more humane and personalized. The brands that don’t use covid-19 keywords have probably failed to get recognition. The need for updating their whole information related to the pandemic became a necessary aspect.
  • Offers and Deductions: People started expecting offers and deductions due to the lockdown. The offers and deduction were seen as the way of getting emotionally appealing to the customers.

E-Commerce Shift:

COVID-19 changed online shopping forever. The year 2020 saw an up stick in e-commerce sales. People began spending increased time online and there had been a massive use of social media. It was a time when Social media marketing saw an immense possibility in e-commerce. 

The boom in Affiliate Marketers in Digital World shows the success of Social media marketing. The hiring of digital advisers for the e-commerce market increased as the period of uncertainty demanded experts in the Digital field to plan and launch advertising campaigns and successful strategies. The Ecommerce website saw an increase in website visits and conversion rate during the lockdown period. There was a rush for buying even groceries through eCommerce websites. With a combination of e-commerce and social media, companies have realized that the fusion of these could create wonders.

Visual e-commerce is the trend now with many e-commerce brands creating immersive and interactive content in the e-commerce social media handles.

Digital World Trends you can’t Ignore

If you continue to move with traditional methods and still ignore Darwinism in the Digital world then your brand is going to probably fail in this highly competitive digital world. 

Here is the Top 6  Digital Marketing Trends:

  • Content Marketing and Personalization: 

People want marketing to be personal. We all want one to one real-time connection between the marketer and us. Everywhere we go, we need a feeling of being a part of anything we do even when we are buying a product. Conversational marketing does just that. It gives you an experience of higher engagement and loyalty from the website you are in with a feedback-driven model. No one likes generic advertising blasts now. Every company is challenged to create contents that give a highly personalized experience. The type of content you create, the useful links, and regularly updated information could drive a lot of organic traffic than using SEO. This is why many brands are focusing now on improving the content. Consistent, high-quality content can take your brand far ahead.

Video contents are capturing the interest of people. People not only see but also tend to share video content of brands. There is a huge shift to video content now.

  • Influencer Marketing:
The year 2020 saw a sudden wake of the growing number of influencers. It was the time when brands realized it is not only the celebrities that could market your brands well but also ordinary personalities who create content on your particular niche. These contents seem to be more accepted and authentic than regular corporate advertising. Influencer marketing is therefore now the most used marketing technique with affiliates booming each day.
  • Use of Artificial Intelligence:

If you believe it or not, 2020 was the year where everyone became a part of Artificial Intelligence, although you may not be aware of it. There is much reason why AI is better than normal humans because Artificial Intelligence can analyze a lot of information with accuracy and predict the future far beyond what human nature could grasp.

We are living in times of augmented reality and immersive technology. It has helped to enhance the consumer experience and to boost sales. The predictive analysis of Artificial Intelligence is finding the trends and future of the digital world.

Are you wondering whether you have used Artificial Intelligence?

We all are part of this revolution. The chatbots you can find on every e-commerce website is the by-product of AI. We cannot expect humans to be responding at this fast pace and many of the bots are doing well by responding to you more naturally than normal persons which are helping you well by giving you instant replies.

We already see the dominance of AI in every basic communication, product recommendation, and email and this can be seen as a huge starting point for the dominance of AI everywhere you go.

  • Visual & Audio Searches:
Visual Searches are taking people to a highly valuable user experience level. We could now just insert images and find specific results with the Pinterest lens, google lens, camping lens e.tc. It is also the time of enhanced voice search and smart speakers. People tend to far more contend with audio results.
  • Programmatic Advertising:
For reaching the targeted audience more accurately the use of AI is needed. To get your ad more specific and to get faster and higher conversions for your marketing campaign, automation is very much necessary. Programmatic advertising uses these 3 methods to fasten automation:
  • Keyword
  • Time of day
  • Location
  • Social Messaging Apps:
People spend most of their time in social messaging apps to feel connected at the time of social distancing. So, the companies are realizing that their targeted customers are more engaged here and the marketing has begun to channelize their marketing in these messaging apps. The huge driving force of these messaging app is that it is a highly profitable way of bringing more personalization and greater user experience.

Face-Paced Digital World Changes

At this time of uncertainty, a proactive approach is essential for understanding trends in the Digital World because the digital world is growing more than ever. The digital trends are changing and we have to be assuming trends. The time demanded things that were way beyond adapting. Both the real and virtual world changed rapidly and the need for overnight change was something too far to catch. The traditional marketers had to shift their marketing channels to the digital world. The ones already in the field of the digital world had to introduce something more effective that could make them more differentiated from others.

As it is said, it is not the fittest nor the most intelligent that survives, It is the most adaptable to change and these words have gained momentum in the historical year 2020. Let us learn from these new chapters and upgrade ourself for the new year.

A social media profile or page is commonly used to reach out to a wider audience and a social circle beyond our known connections. As far as any business or personal branding is considered, social media marketing has a vital role in its success in the industry. And the more organic is the reach of our page, the more benefits it brings.

Well, what is Organic Reach?

The reach a page, profile or brand gets in an unpaid or the natural way through any social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc can be called Organic Reach. Well, it is the most preferred type of reach or rather something which is completely genuine and which needs some effort. Organic reach mostly comes with good quality content and a good page reputation. Well, there are some other simple hacks that can help to get a good organic reach and they are as follows.

Hashtags play a great role in creating a good reach in social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook etc. There is huge followership for each hashtag alone on Instagram which makes it more popular than the pages. There are 3 types of hashtags and we need to choose the right so that our posts and contents get the desired reach and outcome.

  • High traffic – These are the most popular hashtags that are very common and a lot of posts are updated each day. In short, it a highly competitive hashtag and using these may not give us the desired results as there are high chances that our post may get drowned or skipped easily.
  • Medium Traffic – These are related hashtags that receive a comparatively lesser number of posts and that makes it more suitable to use. This is because our posts get some attention and will not get lost easily.
  • Low Traffic – Low traffic hashtags are the least used hashtags with low followership and posts. Using these hashtags also doesn’t help our content to reach the desired audience or get the results.

Commenting on other similar pages keeps our profile alive and active. It helps to create good interaction and gain more people to check out our profile and also find audiences with similar interests.

Our page can organically reach a larger audience by collaborating with other pages with similar ideas. It is a win-win game as both pages share the benefits and get more exposure. The collaborations happen through sharing the content or promoting them through other pages.

Social Media is all about new Trends. Most of the time, we wake up to some of the latest new trends and viral posts. So pick up that moment and use the trend well so that we too get to share that limelight.

Followers are the main part of any social media campaign. It’s easier to lose them than to gain. If our followers feel that we do not have anything useful or entertaining to give them, they will unfollow us and look for alternatives. So engaging followers is very important to maintain them. We can easily engage them through :

  • Contest
  • Stories
  • Giveaway
  • Games
  • Challenges etc

Consistency is another success mantra of social media. Regular posting is equally important as the content. It keeps the page active and helps to maintain our presence in social media.

Going LIVE on Instagram has become a new trend. Live Interactions, Meeting and Interviews have become common these days. Everyone from celebrities to common man can appear Live on their social media pages and interact. And the statistics show that this helps to increase organic growth in a cost-efficient way.

Knowing the Audience is a key point in content creation. We should know what our audience needs and how to deliver it in a creative and engaging way. Analysis of previous posts and contents from other popular pages will help to understand the interests of the audience.

Some creative tools that help to improve our social media presence are as follows.

  1. Canva – Canva is a graphic design platform that allows you to create social media graphics, presentations, posters, documents and other visual content.
  2. Instories – Instories is the post and story creator for Instagram that helps you to make your stories more creative.
  3. Hootsuite – Hootsuite is a social media management platform.
  4. Inshots – InShot app is an all-in-one visual content editing app that allows you to create videos, edit photos, and create image collages.
  5. Typorama – Typorama is an app that lets you transform your text into cool typographic designs with a few different customizations.
  6. Unfold – Unfold is a toolkit for storytellers to create beautiful and engaging stories with minimal and elegant templates.
  7. Snapseed – Snapseed is a photo-editing application for mobile that enables users to enhance photos and apply digital filters.
  8. VSCO – The VSCO app allows users to capture photos in the app and edit them, using preset filters and editing tools.
  9. Preview – Preview combines the best Instagram tools into one simple app.
  10. Flick – Finding Hashtags and copy groups of hashtags to a post.

Social Media is growing each day and so are the scope and possibilities it opens. We need to update ourselves and find more innovative ideas to push ourselves forward in this social race. It is definitely a potential weapon that can make and break us. So let us remind ourselves to use it Vigilantly, Ethically, and Productively.

In 2014, to be exact, some of the case studies reveal that only 34% of conversions happen from mobile ad placements regardless of the fact that mobile devices surely earn more clicks than desktop ads 63%. This had occurred because the users had to get out of Facebook, go to an off-site landing page, sometimes with slow loading times, and then fill out each field manually.

4) Auto-filling method makes it user-friendly – The Facebook Lead Ads provides an advantage of auto-filling data of a user with as much information as possible. By this method of auto-filling data, the user will find it easy and also gives them a head start which makes them stay on Facebook, hence filling the form with the other blank fields. The less effort required, the better the engagement.

5) Generate Leads from a specific region – Facebook Lead Ads is here with an amazing benefit of which a marketer can receive the contact information of people that live in a specific area, city, or country.

So the fields include Email, First Name, Last Name, and 18 more sets. Facebook Lead Ads also offers to add up to three supplementary questions. These can be custom questions that your business may need.

Therefore, these CTA buttons reduce the route of lead generation and are expected to result in better conversion rates for campaigns.

8) Adding Disclaimer made easy – You can also avail the benefit of including a custom disclaimer at the end of each form. Facebook has not put the character limit on the disclaimer.
