Reasons Why Digital Marketers Can Win 2020 And Beyond

One survey conducted by an online research firm i.e eMarketer and according to this firm people changing their interest from traditional marketing to online marketing, because traditional marketing is one time show off in a single cost while online keeps their foot prints.

The traditional marketing is based on the local data with very poor analysis while digital marketing is clubbed with artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analysis and social engineering by that an user get the information of their choice as per their behavior, because people spending more than 3 hours in a day over the internet without proper work, they spend this time just for the surfing and search.

In honor of the latest digital marketing milestone, here are three reasons why digital marketers have more opportunities to win this year and beyond:

Innovations in Social Media platforms
We’ve watched as social media has been used to keep in touch with people, form new connections and promote brands. Innovations along the way have created a digital social world where marketers can experiment with new marketing strategies, captivate audiences and compete at high levels to reign supreme. Facebook’s introduction of augmented reality ads, Instagram TV and in-app checkout, for example, have given marketers compelling new ways to connect with their audiences.

With social media maturing, there are large platforms (like Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Instagram etc) that now represent mass audiences and smaller networks that engage tight niches. Identifying the right platforms to best engage with your target audience is the key to success for earned and paid social media campaigns. For example, Strava is a social network for runners and cyclists that launched a new “streaks” feature designed to encourage users to commit to athletic challenges.

Whether your focus is broad or narrow, the key to social media success is staying authentic and becoming part of the community. You can establish a strong presence by positively engaging with followers through comments and posts and by always remembering to keep your brand voice in mind before interacting in order to remain true to the brand’s vision and keep a healthy line of communication open.

A Strong Generational Shift In The Use Of Technology
As the digital savviness of older generations vastly improves and social media remains a key platform for news and connectivity, digital immigrants and digital natives are slowly becoming one audience. The percentage of people aged 65 and older using at least one social media site grew from 7% in 2010 to 40% this year, according to the Pew Research Center.

More than three-quarters of 55- to 64-year-olds use smartphones, and 85% use the internet. What was once a clear difference in online engagement between a 60-year-old and a 26-year-old consumer is now hazy, as both can be engaged with influencers, authentic content and the right messaging.

I believe it's still important to understand how different generations engage online. Many members of Generation Z, for example, seem to prefer personalization to privacy. One study found that while 38% of Gen Zers "prefer online ads to be related to their browsing history or entertainment preferences, the cohort is less concerned about privacy, with 32% saying they aren't concerned that companies will use their personal online data in a way that could harm them.

" Conversely, baby boomers are more restrictive when sharing personal information. Ultimately, it’s important to identify your audience and understand that not everyone within each generation reacts the same. Both factors are key when trying to engage different generations online.

Marketing Technology Has Just Scratched The Surface
Artificial intelligence and automation continue to entice digital marketers. The development of these advanced tools has significantly enhanced marketers’ abilities to target specific audiences, personalize messages and measure the success of campaigns. And with just 51% of marketers using artificial intelligence (AI) as of March 2018, it’s clear that marketing technology has plenty of room to grow.

Today's marketers have the option to avoid an influx of data and instead use AI to analyze information and structure insights in a way that makes them actionable. Google has notoriously been using AI — machine learning-powered offerings include responsive search ads and bidding tools — to help marketers maximize campaigns.

Marketing automation, which can put AI-based insights into action, can be used in almost every critical point of marketing and sales funnels. Many brands are investing in this technology — one report found that "marketing automation software was a $3.3 billion market in the U.S. in 2017," and that 67% of marketing leaders were using a marketing automation platform.

AI also helps marketers analyze performance before campaigns are launched. Predictive modeling shows advertisers what audiences, media channels and messages could come together with the most success, as the model uses data to quickly test multiple possible scenarios and give marketers a prediction of the best future outcome.

But as of 2017, less than a quarter of the organizations surveyed for one study were using predictive analytics. I believe this indicates that advancement in marketers' use of predictive modeling is still to come.

For marketers who want to take the early lead, the time for predictive analytics adoption is now. The first step is to partner with a company that's already using AI, automation and predictive modeling, and absorb as much insight as possible before trying to deploy AI yourself. Learning from your partner’s past mistakes and successes can help prepare you for such advanced technology and determine which strategies will work best for your marketing objectives.

Digital marketing has provided businesses with stronger and more cost-effective marketing opportunities that consistently deliver results. It's also given marketers the tools and insight needed to innovate and succeed within ever-evolving industries. The possibilities for future innovations are seemingly endless, and as marketers, that’s music to our ears.

Fundamentals of Digital Marketing for 2020

As the year started, people who are associated with Digital Marketing industry get scared that what Google, Social Media and other advertisement places will react in new year, and really this is dramatically situation for everyone as one side there is time to enjoy new year while other side fear of client expectations, but now New Year celebration is over, but what about the Digital Marketing Industry? is this stable of still ups and down?

How many of you noticed that in the last week of Feb 2020 there is one update came from Google side? Yes this was an update that given a jerk in Ranking over Google, and what is about the other social mediums? yes they too made some changes for the users experiences!

Driven force of digital platforms

Do you know the basic philosophy of Digital Marketing? really this is very simple to understand, in the off line marketing we can not observe the audiences reaction for our promotion but in online or digital marketing industry we can analyze their experiences and reactions, and on the basis their behavior we can plan and change our products/services and way of the promotion .

Actually all the online promotional platform working on the basis of Artificial Intelligence now these days, means platform noticing the behavior and all the activities including their moments , and one the basis of this data these platform display the posts, ads and content before the users/visitors, I hope I have explained this point with you that Data science and Artificial Intelligence become the part of digital marketing.

Google Search Organic Ranking

The core of digital marketing industry is Search Engines and Google is backbone of Search Engines, as only Google owns the 90% search share of entire searches over the search engines, means 9 out of 10 people use only Google to find desired products, services, information, knowledge and solutions, but the primary concern is still the same, how site get ranked over the Google.

Actually Google started understanding of a user behavior since when they open their Google Search in their smart phone or computer or tablate, here your location, nearby area, what you search, which link you clicked, how much time you spent on an opened website, which page you visited in that site, what query you searched after left that website, and than again run entire cycle.

So, on the basis of user's behavior over your website, Google decide a quality score for those key terms by which users reached their. So the On Page presence of website much matter in year 2020, as for the ranking purpose we do a lot of off-page and on-page promotion, but other than this we need to focus on the layout, feel, navigation, pointed information etc etc.

To be continue for Part 2.....
