8 Social Media Marketing Trends that Are Worth Adapting in 2021

January 14, 2021 by Advertising

8 Social Media Marketing Trends that Are Worth Adapting in 2021

Social media is always evolving and shifting. Your challenge as a business owner is to adapt to these changes, so your brand messaging continues to resonate and drive meaningful results.  

In order to make the most of social media marketing, first you need to understand which emerging (or already existing trends) are worth adapting this year.  

While there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to having success across social media, it’s still worth implementing techniques that lead to building stronger relationships with your customers, while improving their impact on your bottom line. 

 

8 Social Media Marketing Trends that Are Worth Adapting in 2021 

 

1. Integrate Social Media Across Your Departments

If you want your brand to solve problems for people, then social media is going to tell you exactly what problems people have. By integrating social media across your departments, it ensures that important messages reach the most relevant people in the company. This will help you to build a business your customers and audience will care about. 

2. Embrace Short- and Long-Form Video 

 Video usually works best for companies when it conveys a personalized message to their target audience with an educational, entertaining, or value-based perspective.  

The ability to produce a video and then adapt it into different versions to promote your messaging across social media channels is one of the most effective ways to earn more viewership. Lengthier video isn’t necessarily better, but certain subjects, especially those with complexity, are more accurately communicated in depth. And after you’ve created longer video resources, think about the ways it can be broken down into shorter videos for sharing elsewhere later.

3. Invest in Dynamic Ads  

Dynamic social ads feature products personalized to a person based on their shopping behaviors and other data points. They’re often more successful because they’re aligned to each specific shopper’s preferences by showing each individual items and messaging catered to them. Each is an opportunity to upsell and cross-sell customers, as well as reaching potential customers for the very first time.
 

4. Provide Social Shopping Opportunities 

The ability to make a purchase directly from social media is becoming more widely available. If you limit the number of steps a person has to go through to make a purchase, you can increase conversions because the process is simpler and created to match the network’s design.  

Begin by identifying what social shopping options are available (check out Facebook Shops, Instagram Shopping or Pinterest Shop), and understand the associated costs. Once you’ve set up an integration, it’s important to promote that you’re using the feature so your followers know it’s an option.

5. Use Stories to Engage with Your Audience  

Businesses that use stories successfully are able to send a highly effective series of messages that are relatively affordable to create, and easy for audiences to view. Plus, they present an opportunity to showcase the people behind their brand, as well as a less produced, more authentic perspective of an organization.  

Before you dive into stories, remember to begin where you’re already active, showcase both produced and impromptu content, and use the unique story features to your advantage.  

 6. Use YouTube to Build Deeper Connections 

YouTube visitors spend over 11 minutes per day on average on the platform, since it’s the second most preferred platform for TV viewers 18 to 34 years old. Plus, YouTube is accessible for brands of all sizes as survey respondents shared that choosing a video based on their interest is more important than video’s production value. 

Start by determining who exactly your audience is, and identify what their interests, challenges, and passions are. The goal here isn’t to convert customers with every video, but instead to build a positive association with your organization that lasts for the long term.

7. Create Series to Build Audience 

Consider using social media to help your company build an audience for your series that lives on your own properties as well. To make a lasting impression with your social media, commit to a series to regularly reach your audience on an important theme they’ll associate with your organization for the future. 

 8. Feature Your Employees 

People connect most with other people. Therefore, featuring the people behind your brand will help humanize your organization and form deeper connections with customers. Showcasing employees prominently on social media is important as it’s one of the best ways to build trust with consumers and familiarity with the purpose behind your organization.
