Stories Posts vs Feed Posts: These days people are more inclined to tap on a story and watch than scroll through a timeline. Why? Stories are more authentic, in the moment, and give us a glimpse of what that person’s everyday life looks like. Stories build a bond with your audience.
Short-form storytelling: With social media outlets like Instagram and TikTok the golden rule is keep it under a minute! These short stories can be product reviews, product demos, but they need to be captivating, engaging and informative all under one minute. Audiences attention spans are getting shorter and shorter, long gone are the days in which we would sit through 5 or 10 minute videos.
AI Ad-tracking: With technologies very fast advancements, artificial intelligence has made strides. AI ad-tracking allows for ad optimizations. As stated by Yakk Digital, a digital marketing agency, the return-on-ad-spend increased by 25% since enacting artificial intelligence tracking for their ads.
Community: Human beings crave connection, community and a sense of belonging. Creating a sense of community through your social media platform is so important to brand loyalty. This may look like doing live streams, joining live streams and well as interacting with your audience in the comments.
