2.Video Marketing

Another emerging trend in 2021 for digital marketing is video marketing. Visuals are more attractive to anyone. The company prefers video marketing nowadays that attracts their potential customers.

 In past, there were very few platforms to promote your products through online video but currently, there are many platforms today with millions of users. Brand promotion through short videos or reels is a new trend where brands are trying to include special features in the video and gets the attention of their potential customer in 20-30 seconds videos. Tiktok, Instagram Reels, YouTube reels, Mx Takatak, and many more platforms are in the market for reels promotion.

3.The User-Generated Content

Customers are likely to trust customers more than brands. Simply it means, if the user is itself helping to generate content for the product, this will generate sales for the brand. The very famous company named GoPro started their campaign to advertise their product through UGC. They came up with challenges with proper hashtags for their product and the existing user started posting with that hashtags and indirectly the existing user generating content. User-generated content helps brands to make relationships better.

4.Visual Search by Google Lens

Many people in the future are going to search for their product online by visual by which they can get exact or similar kind of product and automatically land them to the relevant store, selling the searched product. Other than google lenses, there are Pinterest lens and CamFind.
