3 Digital Marketing Trends to Prepare for in 2018 | #ICT #Business  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

A serious marketing expert explores every new trend. They don’t judge. They test. Then, they decide if the trend works for their campaigns. At its core, marketing is all about selling products or services in a way that engages the target audience. The problem is, audience preferences evolve. That’s how digital marketing trends are developed.

Before we start with the trends we expect to see evolving in 2018, let’s see what has been big up to this point in 2017:

Augmented reality. The trend is still relatively new and it’s not going away. According to a report by Market and Market, the virtual reality and augmented reality market is expected to reach $151.3 billion by 2022. We saw IKEA giving us scannable catalogs that allowed us to see how an item would fit in our room. We saw LEGO using AR technology to bring its models to life. That’s smart marketing.
Native advertising. More and more marketing experts are trying to make their ads look less like ads and more like something the consumer would choose to read or see. This publication in The New York Times is a nice example of native advertising. It’s a post paid by Airbnb, but it’s also useful content that informs and educates.
Those were not the only big trends that defined 2017, but let’s stop there. It’s time to focus on the future. A marketer has to foresee the future, so they will be ready to serve the best campaign when the consumers are ready for it.
