This year should explode with the newest trends in social media. Internet businesses who once viewed social media sites as juvenile and unimportant will now get involved so they can stay ahead of the times. Companies will capitalize on this medium to increase their ROI and interact with the people who are buying their products.
I see more and more businesses join sites such as Facebook and Twitter and take an interest in their own communications. It seems as if companies are terminating the outsourcing of some of their content. Marketers are creating their own content to better connect with their audience and establish themselves as industry leaders.
Branding will become one of the most popular trends this year for internet businesses in the social media space. As businesses “get a clue” about this industry, we will see companies establishing their brand colors, messages and communication throughout these social sites. With the newest personalized business profile features on Facebook and the new Twitter contributor feature, currently in beta, I see these sites exploding even more than last year. They will continue to lead the industry as they stay involved and highly prioritize the enhancement of the user’s experience.
The mobile phone enterprise is one of the biggest industries today. Especially with Google’s new “Nexus One” phone and Microsoft on its tails, look for smart entrepreneurs to capitalize on this market. Social media trends will continue to overtake the mobile world. Internet businesses can develop specialized applications for mobile phone users. They can effectively reach a larger audience by solving problems in this space and increasing awareness for their brands.
The social media industry will continue to flourish and develop new and better methods for businesses to connect with and sell to their audiences. Take advantage of this trend which explodes each year with more and more opportunities for entrepreneurs to grow their businesses. If you already participate in this space but you are not experiencing the rewards, consider resurrecting your campaign by creating new videos or blog posts. Make sure you are really connecting with your audience by offering value and encouraging people to interact with your communications. If you are not actively involved with social media, please reconsider and ride this wave before it is too late. Internet businesses are already catching on to the benefits and the longer you wait, the harder it will be to gain back the time it takes to effectively build a successful campaign.
