It’s time for you to start planning your digital marketing strategies for 2021 as the year draws to a close. AntiSocial Solutions is forward-thinking, so we have compiled a list of the top 2021 marketing trends to help your business succeed in 2019.

Artificial Intelligence

Although Artificial Intelligence might bring back memories of dark, post-apocalyptic sci-fi movies, that is not the future we have arrived in. AI is a popular marketing tool that has had great success in digital automation — think Chatbots and engagement bots as well as voice search technology.

AI allows you to predict customer behavior, analyze data, curate personalized content, and do so with greater efficiency and accuracy than ever. This results in better brand quality, engagement, and conversion rates.

We can expect improved customer targeting, predictive analytics, and personalized AI-driven content in 2021. These innovations are not to be underestimated. AI can save you time and help your business.

Shoppable Content

Direct conversions are the future! All marketing trends for 2021 are focused on speed, efficiency, and immediacy. Online shopping is no exception.

Any content that offers a direct purchase opportunity to customers is called shoppable. This could be an Instagram Story that gives the user the ability to swipe up, or a product article that allows them to purchase directly from the post.

Shoppable content combines content and commerce, allowing businesses to convert directly. Shoppable content is a great way to increase sales, improve customer knowledge and innovate the time management of your company. Doesn’t this sound like the future, now?

Virtual and Augmented Reality

AR and VR have opened up new avenues for Miami’s digital marketing innovation. Interactive content is key to customer conversion. It allows users to access a fun world that grabs attention and shows products in real life, not as thumbnails on a website.

Some brands already incorporate VR and AR in their marketing strategies. Customers can try on clothes, see furniture as they would look at home, or even play with a virtual puppy.

Interactive, personalized, and shareable content is the key to success. Brands can use virtual or augmented content for marketing themselves, which allows them to use imagination, storytelling, and thrill to engage customers.

Marketing Personalized

Consumers are more selective about consuming content as the digital world becomes saturated. In 2021, personalized content will be more important than ever, whether through email lists or contests.

To ensure your content is reaching the right market, you must personalize your reach and use insight marketing. Data and AI programs can be a great place for you to start, as your insights will give you information about your customers, including their whereabouts and how they got there. Let’s ensure that personalized connection is the future.

In 2020, get rid of the funnel

Since time immemorial, the marketing funnel has been a driving force for agency life. Is it the only option in today’s complex digital world?

HubSpot’s Flywheel Marketing was founded on the belief that marketing isn’t a one-way road but a moving wheel that gets its inertia through constant generation. Marketing should not be driven by sales, nor should it view customers as an outcome. Customer appreciation drives sales and referrals. “Your company keeps spinning.”

Mckinsey & Company also created the Customer Choice Journey. This idea is similar to the Flywheel. It was based on the belief that customers should not be treated as one-way tickets for sales but rather targeted circulars. This circular theory empowers customers and promotes brand loyalty.

The buying process is not linear. The client engagement field is as diverse and broad as the digital world. Therefore, it will be vital to innovate our ideas about what conversion looks like in the future.

Last words

The digital industry requires constant innovation. It is becoming more important to keep up-to-date on new technologies, branding styles, and strategies as each year passes.

Analytics for 2020 will remind us that customers are more important than ever. Engaging and personalized content leads to long-lasting loyalty and conversion. Creative marketing techniques connect with diverse audiences and enable wide-reaching campaigns. Conversion requires more creativity than the old analogies were designed for.
