Social Media marketing mix

Social Media Marketing Trends for 2021

Social media is a critical marketing tool for reaching and engaging customers, especially for small businesses with tight budgets, and it looks to be more important than ever in 2021. Social media is also in a constant state of change, with new social platforms and trends appearing and disappearing seemingly every few months. If you want to stay on top of your digital marketing game, keep tabs on what is new about social media marketing and how social media will change in 2021.

Here are just a few social media trends to track in 2021

Organic Social Media Campaigning

There was a time when clever social media advertising had a chance to gain lots of traction and expand organic reach. Advertising remains a valuable part of social media marketing for expanding awareness and generating site traffic, but research finds that as many as 75 percent of people don’t place a lot of trust in ads on social media platforms. On the other hand, they still trust what other people are saying about businesses online. Consumer ranking and reviews have greater conversion impact than advertisements. So that won’t change – Businesses still need to invest in relationships with customers and local influencers if they want consumers to come to trust their key brand messages.

Should You Add TikTok to Your Marketing Mix?

Facebook is still the the first thing that comes to mind when people think about social media, but it’s far from the only platform out there. In addition to social media heavyweights such as Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram, TikTok could continue to build relevance in 2021, especially for businesses that target young people. TikTok videos cover everything from new dance trends to cooking demos to makeup tutorials to cute animals. Instagram has stepped up its game to match the TikTok threat, with its introduction of Reels, short videos not unlike those seen on TikTok. Instagram already has over a billion users, so marketers who want to reach younger audiences with short videos can test the short-video market there before deciding to add TikTok to their marketing mix (always a big consideration, given the need to juggle management of marketing channels.)

The bottom line here is that there are far more social media channels than a small business can manage, so you have to pick your channels and stay focused. Where is your target audience hanging out online? Show up there. And BE INTERESTING!

Live Social Media Event Marketing

Thanks to the ongoing COVID pandemic, people have gotten used to communicating remotely via Zoom and similar platforms. This is mostly associated with those who are working or going to school remotely, but it’s become a big part of social media as well. Marketers who previously relied on pre-recorded videos and well-timed status updates are finding that people are willing to attend webinars, Q and A sessions, and behind-the-scenes updates that are broadcast live. This trend will likely continue long after the pandemic is over and people feel safe venturing out into the world. After all, why would you fight traffic and pay for parking to attend a marketing presentation when you can stay home and sit in front of your computer screen for an hour?

We've been working with KO for the past six months and they quickly learned our business and started helping us with our web strategy right away. They are very good at what they do but more importantly their team goes above and beyond our expectations and they feel like an extension of our team. A great partnership and we appreciate their help!

KO Websites has been a great company to work with over the years - 20+ to be more precise! They handle everything for our business in regards to our web presence and give us great feedback every month on how well our content is working for us. They are also constantly recommending ways to "upgrade" our site so it stays relevant. Really love working with these guys!

When I started my business in 2012, I had to make sure that I partnered with the right company. After interviewing a few companies, Ken's confidence really made me feel comfortable. Since that moment, Ken and his team have done an excellent job with my website. I could not be happier with my partnership with KO Websites.

KO did an excellent job designing a website for my charter sailing business. The site looks very professional and works especially well on mobile devices. I have been getting lots of feedback from my customers who describe the site as being very friendly and easy to navigate. Ken and his team worked with me through the whole process and were extremely helpful. They are especially good at providing powerful SEO. Highly recommended.
