Interactive Content
Consumers have come to love interactive content and real-time engagement on social media. “Lives” have become so popular in digital marketing that TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram have all jumped on the bandwagon. Although lives (live video posts) are extremely popular because viewers get to talk to and interact with users, there are other types of interactive content to incorporate such as:
Quizzes/polls
Story stickers/sliders
Interactive webinars
"Ask me" stickers
Influencer Marketing
Influencer partnering has become a huge hit in the digital marketing world. Now becoming even easier with Instagram’s introduction of “collabs”, influencer marketing can increase your chances of reaching new audiences by a lot. In fact, 61% of consumers trust influencers’ recommendations—more than the 38% who trust branded (and often biased) branded social media content. Utilizing influencer marketing will not only boost your visibility but also build a lot of brand trust.
Educational Content
When creating your digital marketing content, it’s important to understand what your audience wants to see. Surprisingly, educational content has had a huge breakthrough over the years. Educational content has pushed consumers to feel like a brand is more educated, ultimately pushing them to conversion. Educational content probably won’t be your entire strategy, but it’s not a bad idea to incorporate it a little bit to see how your audience reacts to it.
