Digital Marketing Trends To Consider For 2023

2023 is approaching fast so what are the key digital marketing trends that you should be looking out for and how can you transform your marketing efforts in the future. 

Form building

Big data has become significantly more important to businesses than ever before. However, the way we gather data has had to change due to privacy laws in place across the globe.  Therefore, when it comes to digital marketing, a hot trend in 2023 will involve businesses being more proactive in gathering data through various practices. For example, form building can help find out information from your customers that could influence your next product launch or service. With forms, they can be short and sweet to keep users engaged and to have a better success rate in gathering that data.

Email Marketing

Email marketing is, by far, one of the best marketing methods currently being used. With 89% of marketers using email marketing primarily for generating leads, it’s a trend that will continue thriving into 2023. Regarding product launches, it’s beneficial to use email subscriber lists to reach existing customers and those that have perhaps signed up but not bought anything yet. Product launch emails for small businesses can help significantly widen the profit margins you make as a business during what is often an essential time for a new company.

Creativity

There are a lot of applications and tools out there that can help with creativity when it comes to marketing. Creativity is what will undoubtedly become more prevalent as we enter 2023. With so much competition and content to compete with, every piece of marketing you put out as a business must have the best chance of getting noticed and engaged.

SurveyMonkey is a prime example of utilising creativity through email marketing. There are also plenty of options as an alternative to SurveyMonkey, so it’s always good to compare platforms and pricing to get the best deal for your budget.

Many businesses will need to explore what hasn’t been done yet regarding creative marketing methods outside of traditional practices. From Facebook Live to Tiktok Shop, there are many new opportunities for making your marketing efforts more creative.

Real-time messaging platforms

Consumers want everything, and they want it all as quickly as possible. With many marketing teams, real-time messaging platforms have become an excellent opportunity to reach customers quickly and directly, and for data collection.

As digital marketers, the more these real-time messaging platforms mature, the more they can make from it when it comes to customer data. They can almost become a data hub that can store everything you’ll need to understand more about your customer than ever before.

Influencer marketing

It’s no surprise that influencer marketing will continue to boom throughout 2023. As of now, it’s responsible for bringing in, on average on this type of marketing.

What was once only used by a handful of marketers is now being used by almost every business that exists digitally. Some influencers’ influence, whether through Tiktok to, Instagram or YouTube, or companies collaborating with these users, can generate a great ROI.

Businesses should be careful when understanding exactly what type of influencers they need for their brand. Marketers can fall short with this type of marketing because they’ve chosen the wrong individuals who don’t have the relevant audience or reach.

Gratification

Instant gratification is required in a digital world where customers hold most of the power. When shopping online, they want to get what they want instantly. Any delays or having to wait is going to lead them to go elsewhere.

That’s why a marketing team needs to think proactively rather than just reacting when customers approach with a query. For example, having a helpful knowledge base that customers can access can help answer questions that might stop them from buying.

Outsourcing

As a small business or a big one, for that matter, outsourcing remains a great way to get more done. No company wants to be held back by opportunities because they’ve not got enough resources in-house. 

If you need more help with marketing, why not outsource the help of digital marketing agencies? This could be the difference between making a little progress over the first year to making big moves in the industry for small businesses and start-ups.

Many of these digital marketing agencies also have much more knowledge to share and implement into growing trends within the digital environment.

Chatbots

Chatbots have become more useful for marketers and, as such, have become another source of investment. They help small businesses and those not operating all day hours to answer queries and engage with customers who might need assistance outside of working hours.
