7th Video marketing
Businesses usually recoil in horror at the idea of making a company video. For the most part, this is because they think about all the hard work and the investment to ensure that a high-quality video is made. This is no longer a concern. You no longer need to expensive equipment and paid actors to make a professional business video. As humans, are more likely to engage with a video than we are with simple text because we are visual. If you do not have some sort of business video, you are definitely missing out on potentially huge opportunity.
8th Informal Content
If you’re writing content in a natural, conversational tone
then you’re speaking your customers language - the language they use in voice search. The websites that are seen to be adapting to the voice search are the
ones incorporating voice-search strategies for both typing users and talking
ones
9th Personalised UX
Customers are more likely to return to a site that
recommends products using simple customer data such as account details and
shopping history. Using this data, you can build a personalised User Experience
with personalised products and recommendations. There’s even more to be said
for personalised emails that hit the right note with customers. All they need
to have is very simple email features like customer name greetings, content
segmentation and personalised email subject lines.
10th QA Formatting
It is worth devoting a whole landing page that answers a
single question, as well as attempting to incorporate actual FAQ’s or even
FAQ-style content onto your pages. With the growing popularity of voice search,
people are not searching using isolated keywords, but using complete sentences
to answer their questions.
11th Live video is taking over
Marketers and customers are jumping on the Live Video train.
In a 2016 survey, over 80% said they want to create more video content, and 42%
specifically wanted to create more live video. This is because Facebook video
sees an average of 135% more organic reach than images. This engagement is
through the roof for live video as well. According to Facebook, social media users spend 3
times more time watching live videos than a video that’s no longer live. They
also comment more than 10 times more during the live stream.
12th Virtual Assistants/Chatbots
