The Most Underestimated Social Media Trends
The Top 5 Underestimated Social Media Trends !π
We all know video is king and Reels rule the game, but when last have you considered the below trends?
β Long Form Video Surge on TikTok: TikTok is one of the platforms where social media users spend most of their time. Now they might spend even more time there. Longer videos have been introduced raging from anything between 30 seconds to 10 minutes, AND it is even starting to push landscape videos. This improvement is providing a deeper way for brands to connect with audiences.
β Social Media as a Search Engine: Optimise your content with strategic keywords and hashtags, as platforms evolve into primary search tools. By 2022 nearly 40% of Gen Z chose to search on social media over Google.
β Personalised Customer Care: Leverage social media to offer tailored support, enhancing user experience and satisfaction. Don't be surprised when an unhappy customer turns to social media to share their experience. All the more reason to integrate the online reputation management team with the brand's customer service department.
β Behind-the-Scenes Content & Brand Transparency:
The ongoing demand from audiences for genuine content highlights the importance for brands to be more open about their business practices on social media. Transparency online is a great way for a brand to build trust and loyalty. An easy solution to this is by creating more behind the scenes content.
β Authenticity is King: Authentic interactions and content reign supreme, resonating more with todayβs consumers.
The takeaway? To thrive in the dynamic landscape of social media, focus on authenticity, tailored engagement, and strategic content innovation & always test the latest formatsπ
