Marketing Trends to Watch Out For in 2018

Marketing Trends to Watch Out For in 2020 (Updated)

The yesteryear had been a generous year for businesses with regard to marketing. But now that a new year has come, the ability to merchandise continues to evolve in such a way that previous years’ practices either become obsolete or remain as part of the traditional practice.

But the year 2018 is not just about getting businesses and technology more entangled than ever in reaching to a wider audience or building a more solid consumer base, it also comes with a budding sense of realization that some practices are to become the trend which will set this year apart from the previous.

Marketing Trends to Watch Out For in 2018

Technology-driven Trends

With our devices getting smarter and smarter by the day, how we do things in life becomes more efficient. Putting the same benefit in commerce, more and more businesses opt to consider adopting technology in making things more favorable to them.

  • Voice-enabled technology

Forget about having to tap on the touchscreen when making queries with the use of a smart device, in today’s time, “voice technology” is the new king. What had been a feature only found in science fiction has indeed become a reality and is about to take the world by storm by taking human voice as a valid input.

  • LinkedIn as a go-to social media

LinkedIn has entrenched itself as a social media platform for many working professionals for many years now since it started rolling. This year is no different. In fact, like the years before, LinkedIn is poised to become the “social butterfly” of many people, whether presently in the workforce or not.

LinkedIn’s main selling points as a platform is its capability to network people, provide engaging content, and connect average working individuals to some of the thought leaders in the industry.

  • Snapchat losing marketing engagement

The year 2017 was poised at Snapchat reigning as the so-called “hottest marketing tool” by targeting the now-dominant Millennials and the entering Generation Z in the workforce. But despite this anticipation, the social media platform had seen a decline in the number of users, to a drop of 33% from the total.

While the remaining 70% still makes a larger number of fish in the sea, this could mean sticking to more solid social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter.

  • Rise of artificial intelligence

Although still developing, the integration of a “smarter” artificial intelligence in our technology will make our interaction with computers a more straightforward process. Current employees in line with customer support should rest easy knowing that this A.I. technology is not yet bright enough to take them off their cubicles.

However, according to Smart Insights, 2018 might be the year whereby artificial intelligence and machine learning will have the 3rd largest impact on marketing. Salesforce, on the other hand, foresees this technology having significant relevance when running campaigns and to those who underperform in their jobs.

Marketing Trends to Watch Out For in 2018

Traditional Marketing

So, it’s true that from 2018 onwards, technology may be playing a large part in the marketing trends. But this does not mean to say that the old way of selling is left to dust by being forgotten. Contrarily, there are still practices from the past that will still remain relevant to this day, more so possibly than the previous years.

  • Branding takes a new approach

Since the inception of commerce, people had been bombarded with hard sells which, to be honest, many people are not really too comfortable at. The year 2018 is the time where businesses take on a different way at branding themselves: by focusing on the brand’s personal story and not a bunch of hocus-pocus that the masses do not really understand.

  • Further growth of influencer marketing

Although the past couple of years have been mostly favorable towards macro-influencers who makes use of their massive following, this year will see the attention shifted towards the lesser popular—micro-influencers—which, statistically, was said to generate a larger impact in campaign engagement.

In addition, 2018 will also become the year where companies will tap on its often neglected but invaluable resources to marketing as advocates—the employees.

Lastly, there will also be a shift from getting focused to just running off campaigns to keeping engagements via the influencer which highlights the mutual value in the process. Essentially the ambassador for the company, influencers will play the critical role in marketing this year.

  • “Info-training” through content experiences

An influencer for a company is more than just a face that represents a particular brand or product, the authority he built for himself is also a crucial element in delivering content that are not only believable but also engaging. This had been a popular tool in the past about marketing and this year is no different.

  • A deeper look into data for data-inspired marketing

Not many companies tap on the data at their disposal to the fullest extent. Generally, only 12% of these data are being used in a way that reflects how many businesses operated their marketing for the last couple of years. The year 2018 is the year by which companies are opting to tap on the remaining 88% to make a more effective marketing that sustains profitability and growth.

  • The proliferation of video marketing

With videos becoming a more popular medium as ever on the internet, many customers and marketers are getting attracted to live streams that deliver the content in real-time. Along with this growth is the increase in the use of credible platforms like the video streaming site, YouTube, and social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Periscope which also utilize videos in their own respective ecosystem.

  • Good business practice and privacy

News about data breaches and selling of consumer information are but some of the issues of the past several years which had some clients running from transacting online in business. Coming with the realization that all in the consumer base place value in the security of their privacy, many companies are learning that, in order to keep their clients, they must respect their private information from leaking out.

    1. In terms of applicability, strategies discussed are very much applicable. Yes, Covid-19 pandemic has caused a lot of difficulties in doing business but it also opened opportunities. In the aspect of marketing, the proliferation of technology enables marketers to reach market without boundary. Traditional marketing evolves with the aid of technology, marketers now has the capability to propagate their products and levels the playing field between bigger and small firms in terms of market reach.

    2. I will add quality assurance strategy. Transaction now a days from purchasing of food, paying for transportation, obtaining services among others are done online. The value expected out of every transaction is always presumed to be of quality. Assuring the market that even in time of pandemic the quality of products or service will not falter, creates a domino effect that leads to satisfaction. Satisfied market always tends to reengage and repurchase which is beneficial to the business. Moreover, the essence of quality assurance is building trust and creating relationship between the firm and the market.

    1.Technology-driven trends are the most applicable for this time of pandemic. Company should focus more on how to enhance these marketing strategies. The company should revisit the use of traditional marketing strategies, it may still be applicable, however, it cost may outweigh its benefits considering that nowadays almost companies are facing financial difficulties in staying afloat in the industry.

    2.With the present situation companies should boost their online platforms to cater a wider range of markets. We have the so called “new normal” in which we are bound to embrace. Market demands for the use of technology in doing business continue to increase tremendously. Everybody wants to do it online including institution such as the government, schools, cooperatives and churches. Hence, each company should enhance their online platforms to create an accessible, quality and reliable products and services including the ease of doing the transaction from ordering, payment, delivery and aftersales services. In this time, company should focus on how to improve the life of the customers amidst the challenges brought about by COVID pandemic.

    1. COVID-19 has disrupted so many aspects of life and long-planned marketing strategies that were carefully designed to meet specific goals. The mentioned strategies are applicable and helpful fighting towards this pandemic. Moreso with the emergence of modern technology. Technology’s role has driven virtual connection in this current situation. One thing that caught my attention was “Branding.” Since coronavirus has essentially stopped community, social gathering, and face-to-face engagement, therefore, we need to focus more on the Category and less on the Brand. By focusing on enduring concepts, market-leading companies will be able to lend confidence that they too will survive COVID-19.

    2. Reimagine, repurpose, recycle, and restrategize your marketing efforts. The pandemic has brought greater impact and the global shutdown of some businesses. To survive and respond to the COVID-19 crisis, companies had to get creative and smart. Be smart about how you market your product and to whom you market. Reimagine, recycle, repurpose, and restrategize are the best strategies applied by most successful companies in different industries that give tremendous positive impact and growth despite the attack of this coronavirus.

    Industries never expected this COVID-19 pandemic. While busy having sales projections and other revenue generating strategies, this kind of threat in the business I believe have never been part of the contingency plans. Now that a lot of businesses are struggling how to bounce back in this trying time, a lot of strategies have been rediscovered re engineered and re strategized especially in the aspect of marketing. We all know that marketing plays a very important role in business as this functional area could help generate higher sales and will enable the business to grow at its best.
    In this article all the marketing trends presented are very much helpful to every businesses or industries, thus, this strategy should be utilized for the business to bounce back and be able to cope with challenges brought by this pandemic. Businesses should consider these strategies. No one can tell how long this pandemic will stay and how it will damage further the economy. It’s just a choice between fighting for your business or closing your business.

    Strengthening feedback mechanism I believe is one important thing businesses should consider. In this pandemic, no one will risk their safety going out and buy some stuff or their other needs, most of them would rely on some online platforms for their purchases. I think strengthening feedback mechanism will help both the business and the customer to build trust and confidence in this time. Feedback mechanism also will help the business or business owner to improve their product or services and it will further build excellent customer relationship and customer satisfaction.

  5. I really cant keep up woth technology these days and I am only 36! 😀 Had to read this post two things to keep the rough of the trends. 😀

    As Manager adapting of advanced technology in the business really helps a lot in day today operation. The high technologies that we used makes the employees works easier. On the other hand, social is media is part of it, where it take a big percent of the company to grow. Facebook, youtube, IG helps to promote the business to dispersed. A lot of people somehow rely to get information from their social media account.As a business strategy, I will make used this as a channel for dignifying terms in attracting prospective customers.For instance, the terms like efficiency, perseverance, and preserving in all quality in all seasons will be made use by myself so that my company will grow.Facebook, Instagram are not enough in business strategy, The social media must employ terms like persistency, efficient must be employed wherein I can convince others for the sake of development.Good treatment of personnel must likewise be taken into account. With this I do believe my business will endure.

  7. Denise Tabaculde

    Considering today, we are living together with technology and technology itself is one way of making our lives easy. Strategically, coping with my business to stand is to be identified and have the accessibility to the market. Creating a website and indulging in social media for my business’ online and mobile presence will be my main priority of concern. These current technologies are a very strong platform that will let the market know of my existence and the products/services my business has to offer. All I have to do is to be very keen on observing the existing competition within the online and mobile world to be on par if not on top of everyone. Of course, if necessary I will accompany it with the traditional advertising and marketing media to ensure success. Nothing beats the idea of being one step ahead and that is through a thorough assessment of what’s happening within the industry and reacting on it based on the market’s needs.

  8. DONN THADDAEUS DAVID CORONADO

    In Responding for the new patterns in marketing trends in 2018 is by completing a decent business marketing methodology which encourages us characterizing our vision and mission in business including the impact and effect of products/services by expecting to Acquire new client; Keeping up existing customers; Present new arrangement of items or services; Expanding market share; Setting up business brand; and Enhance client loyalty through executing paid ad to connect in the market; Word of Mouth; Relationship Marketing or Customer Relationship Management (CRM) that give centers around costumers unwavering and long haul client commitment as opposed to shorter-term objectives like customer acquisition; and even Web based Promoting such as online marketing is possible. Therefore, Customer and Consumer’s needs and wants in terms of Cost,Convenient and Communication is one of the consideration in reacting for the new patterns in business especially in a stiff competition now a days.

    If I become owner/manager, thats really important that you have to upgrade your technologies, and dont change the basics, upgrading technolgies can help your business to grow fast, with A.I.’s they can process your product faster than humans, the precisions of every moves is different. you can assure to your clients that your product is good, it can help also the security and safety of your employees, without lifting any large objects or that can harm them or worse, and the basics dont forget, human power is still one of the important part of the business, you have to train your employees how to handle the technologies and update them also what are the trends nowadays, even without the help of the machine they can still manage to make the product by manual basis.

  10. Nicka R. Gaudia

    Change is inevitable. Wether you like it or not, change will always come and go. The trends today may not be a trend tomorrow or the trend yesterday can be a trend today. To cope up with change, the safest thing to do is to go with it. One characteristic of an entrepreneur is taking the risk for his or her business and that is a strategy you must learn. Staying on your comfort zone slowly drags your business down. Taking the risk such as going with the trend may be expensive and time-consuming but it will worth, after all, those are considered as your investment. But if the business has already deflated then, the solution would be shifting into another line of business.

  11. Leah Rose Gacuma

    To cope up with all kinds of trends is not easy; one needs to be very creative to adhere to the changes, especially with the technological trends in marketing nowadays. As a manager/ businessperson, I will make my company/business cope with the new trends in marketing by being consistently innovative with my marketing strategies. And focus on the efficacy of my core business strengths which are my product and the service provided of my employees. Business trends may vary from time to time it helps to develop an enterprise, but having excellent service couldn’t make a company in a negative light. The strategies that I will employ are, I’ll be more focus on hearing feedback from the customers. I will take advantage of the use of social media platforms as one way of interacting with the market. In there, I can take note of their feedbacks and get helpful insights about what necessary things needed to improve the business. Also, another strategy is to widen my knowledge of today’s marketing trends. In the above article, there are several platforms listed that are user-friendly (LinkedIn) for such, a platform where you can be updated with business experts advice. They offered free training programs, and I have enrolled in some of their courses in the past. And lastly, I will not disregard the previous trends; I will get some helpful insights from the previous trends, combine it with today’s marketing trends, and persistently I will study and train in order to develop new approaches to employ in my business.

    If I will make my own business, my strategies would be more on posting products on the internet, it is the easiest yet effective way of introducing my business to the public. Others may paid for an expensive advertisement that may run into millions of their money expended in television, radio, billboards and magazines. For me, practically speaking, I would not spend a big amount of money just to introduce my business into the market, I will use instead a cheaper one, which is I will print and spread flyers about my business, I will also use people, people that already tried my product, I will give my customers a good reason to advetise and recognize my business. If the customer is satisfied with both products and services, there’s a big possibility that they will probably partake that experience to others. What is the sense of spending money in an expensive advertisement if your product or services is not totally gives satisfaction to the consumer? Making sure that what you paid for an advertisement which really cost you much should bring a great positive return on your investment.

  15. Mary Grace Maleriado

    The intervention of technology in any business affect greatly in terms of marketing for it makes people’s life lighter and easier. Definitely an interaction in the world of technology such as Facebook,twitter and instragram is a great venue in introducing your business in the market since its a trend,however it much set limitations as this become also a market for fishing information by competitors.
    For me, the best strategies is still a combination of traditional and technological marketing intervention. In the traditional way, you must create a product or services that is unique from your competitors ,that’s why a competitors check is necessary. Having this does not mean copying his or her product but instead studying what could be the best thing to do to level up from you competitor based on what you have observe. I still believe tha SWOT analysis is still basic thing but very effective tool in creating a marketing strategy.
    On the otherhand techonological advancement would lead your Research and Development team to further enhance and develop business’ products or services

    To provide this kind of personalisation, you have to collect customer data. In 2018, we’re set to see data collection and implementation grow. You’ll need to use a data-driven marketing strategy, collect data from customer interactions and use that information to personalise messages and drive sales.

    Collect data at various touch points
    Make an effort to collect data. For instance, ask customers their birthday when they check out in your store or inquire about their job title when they sign up for your email list online.

    Use your personas to segment your email contacts. You can segment your list by past purchases, location, job title, age, sex – you name it. Once segmented, create content for each niche.

    Advertise on social
    Social channels can use your existing customer data to find new customers. Facebook, for example, will reference your customer information and target your ads to what’s called Lookalike Audiences, or customers that have the same characteristics as the ones you already have.

    The use of technological advancement for business marketing has been proven effective ever since people engaged themselves to social medias and other opportunities provided in the world wide web. People are so attached to their smart gadgets 24/7 and created an opening for the business world to go with digital marketing such as Youtube,Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram that is often used by the millennial consumer . However, in order to obtain a wider market, traditional marketing focusing on the new branding approach creates a deeper engagement especially to the older market. Flyering and Word-of-Mouth advertising is still up to date, this engenders emotional involvement with the customers through door to door or table-hopping strategy.

    Joining the trend of marketing is a good addition, but making the audience involved creates an impact.

    If I am the owner/manager, I will invest in new and updated technologies that are available in the market and make sure that I will maintain it. As we all know, businesses who are outdated are more likely to shut down because they can’t satisfy their customers’ expectations and wants. Coping with new marketing trends also help a company gain new customers and maintain old ones. A.I technology is just one example of what a company should invest. It makes work easier and faster. It can also help me satisfy my clients/customers. Also, I will create accounts in social medias that are in today to make my business visible. Doing a research like twice a month on the updated marketing trends can help as well. There’s always new so it is necessary to keep updated. Lastly, I will make sure that my employees are aware and updated as well so that we can work as one in the same direction to achieve our goals.

  22. Im not a tech person but as the world evolves we netizens should adapt technology trends. Technology plays a vital role in big companies even medium to small enterprises. This is their means of marketing their products and services. However, as mentioned in the article. Employees are still an invaluable resources of the companies. I can still remember flipping the newspapers to look for jobs and watching TV guides for opernings. Now you can use LinkedIn as a professional network where you can find related jobs and post your profile, people will look at your profile especially recruiters who are sourcing resumes. You can even post a topic, thoughts and ideas. Ive been using LinkedIn for many years now and I find it very efficient tools when it comes to recruiting. It helped me a lot finding candidates with particular specifications on their qualifications. Now companies are looking for Social Media and Digital Media Specialist to work on and market their products though any social media platforms. Great information on this article. It expanded its technology trends and it has an elaborative information with regards to marketing trends.

  23. Joie B. Cabillos

    I like how the article have pinned point different social medias and how it can be utilized in this article, now I can be more knowledgeable and aware on what are the specific sites I can visit and use aside from the well known ones like fb or tweeter. I liked how YouTube was emphasized as am area to market, like advertisement before the most visited videos is really a bright idea. I think, I could think more outside the box now and see opportunities of business through the use of social medias, it gives me different perspective aside from seeing it only as for entertainment.

  24. Marketing, particularly digitally-driven marketing, is a fast-evolving trend —so fast that even when a particular market begins to “adopt” and experience penetration, there would be another new-comer that would threaten the ecosystem.

    Take for example the case of Snapchat: they first popularized the feature called “Snaps” which took the young generation by storm. A “snap” allows you to take photos or videos that enable your social network to comment privately – saving you from red blushes over awkward public comments. That’s why Facebook tried to buy her enemy for $3,000,000,000— spot cash. But SnapChat refused. And since Facebook and Instagram were proactive (and shameless enough) to win the race, they bravely and mercilessly copied “Snap-like” features and even those effects turning your face to funny cats and long-tongued dogs. And as this blog says, SnapChat has been experiencing losing battles. Now, Zuckerberg has won his audience (and income) because he (or his marketers) were proactive enough to respond to the market trends that surround them.

    As marketers and students of it, we must be relentlessly proactive in the way we integrate marketing to the life of a business or entity- because the market is an indication of life- and where there is life, there is change- and it’s successful marketing is about successfully managing change.

    As the founder of Uniqlo puts it, “Change or Die.”

  25. Great article as always sir! I learned a lot reading this, what i like the most is the linkedin platform, it’s the first time i have heard this to be honest. I will try using this now. We are very lucky to have these tools right now and a very intelligent instructor. Good read!

    Besides from the people who invented them, who can imagine that these technologies would exist and the outcome would be this beneficial to all and more importantly for our businesses. Dispute with all of the exist high-end technologies that and for all the upcoming in the near future, keep on coming and continue to amaze us. I just hope that we use it for us to succeed in life and with good intentions.

  27. David Toledanes

    The advancement of technology is a wonderful thing. However, we must also be cautious of its uses and the effects it brings to our environment. Industrialization and technology always come hand in hand. We’ve been advancing technology for the last 20 years and it’s not about to atop anytime soon. With that said, I hope more innovators can think of an eco-friendly approach in creating technology. Not saying that there are lesser environment-friendly creators, just saying that ALL creators of technology should think about the environment too. Because what’s the use of technology when this planets inhabitants can’t live long enough to enjoy it? Just my thoughts.

  28. RICKY F. ESPINOSA

    Technology keeps on upgrading from time to time in order for us to be more productive and to gain more sales. Many have been trending these days from social media due to the influence of “Buy and Sell” and “Online Hiring/Recruiting” a big help to those who are seeking either job or sales stuffs. So far Technology gives more ways to expand market, more people bringing together and more benefit to employee/employer. So for me a big thumbs up and kudos to people who keeps on upgrading technology on the aspect of Marketing and Business. Many thanks to the author a really great help for us.
