As we near the end of the year, we can look back on all of the factors that changed the digital media landscape in 2020 that will likely influence the years to come. Here are a few of the digital marketing trends that have evolved from the year and how we can use them going forward.
1. Customer Experience
One of the main takeaways of digital marketing trends in 2020 focuses on providing an exceptional customer experience. Customers expect a seamless experience from beginning to end, and the companies that can offer this service are thriving in their markets. Coordinate your digital marketing team and your customer service and sales departments to create a unified experience for your customers. Ensure that your teams are knowledgeable and efficient, as this will entice consumers to move along in their journey with your company. Personalization, mobile experience, and brand image are important factors that provide excellent customer experience.
2. Strategic and data-driven marketing
Good digital marketing involves more than following a set of tips and seeing success. It's essential to look into the data to be strategic about your marketing strategies. By collecting data from specific campaigns and using this information to tailor future campaigns, you're ensuring that each time you reach customers, it's a beneficial experience on both ends. Analyze the data to understand your core audience and do some research on their needs and how they access their information. From here, you can tailor their experience to best suit their needs and keep them coming back to your brand.
3. Gen Z matters more than you think
The digital marketing industry has focused so much of their attention on Millennials, but many of them are now approaching their 40th birthdays. While their buying power still matters in the market, Gen Z is the up-and-coming generation to focus on. Gen Z is defined by the cohort born between 1995 to 2010 and have grown up in a digital world. They're more diverse than previous generous and expect more transparency from the companies they interact with. Working with them by providing an experience that's tailored to the needs of the decision-makers and buyers of tomorrow will bring in a new range of loyal customers for decades to come.
As we can see, 2020 changed the game in terms of digital marketing. In-person marketing took a back burner when many places saw lockdowns and a shift towards staying home and purchasing online. We saw how, even with intricate planning for the future, things could change quickly and your digital marketing strategy is no different. By identifying the trends that marked marketing in 2020 and adapting them to work with your company in the coming years, you can be sure that you'll be ready for whatever changes come your way. Flexibility and adaptability are crucial components of the future of digital marketing today and beyond.
