Social Media Predictions For 2019
2019 is coming up with lots of surprises and all the
digital marketing agencies in Pakistan sit tight because there will be huge
changes in social media.
Expert social media marketers are predicting stuff
regarding the changes that are going to occur on different social media
platforms. We will look into these predictions and check if our social media
plans are working right or need improvements.
Live
Streaming Gets Reliable
Live streaming is going to be greater and improved in
2019 so if you are not already using it, you will start it. Approximately 80%
of audiences would rather watch a live video from a brand rather than reading
a blog. As a devoted reader and writer, I find the reading drop off sad but
also logical. People are busier than before and video is so easy to understand
without effort.
ChatBots
The doubts users had a few years back about chatbots
taking over the world are decreasing. Applications like Messenger and WhatsApp
are agreed to use chatbots even more to service customer needs in 2019. A
chatbot is a computerized chat program that sits on your website or Facebook
Messenger and interacts with your customers to help them with requests.
According to Facebook, there are already over 300,000 active chat bots so
if your business uses Facebook but does not have one, you are missing out on a
valuable tool.
Augmented
Reality
Augmented reality is already available, but many
social media marketers are not using the tools available to them.
What augmented reality is? Making it simple, SnapChats
facial features and filters are augmented reality.
It is said that approximately the augmented reality
and virtual reality markets will exceed $298 billion by 2023.
We are expecting to see more tools available for
marketers in 2019 as Facebook has partnered with over 700 brands to achieve
the company’s plan. This means in social media predictions for 2019 marketers
can have more fun with the targeted audiences and vastly boost engagement. You
should expect to see extra augmented reality marketing strategies going viral
on social media soon.
Voice
Search Gets Improvements
Technology is rapidly evolving and improving and smart
speakers are rapidly becoming a common household accessory globally.
The voice search market increased by a percentage of 187 in
the second quarter of 2018.
In 2019, our reliance on voice search will rise. In
fact, it is expected that 50% of all searches will be voice search by
2020.
Instagram
Will Overtake Facebook
This one is big, it is said that Instagram will take
over Facebook as the most engaging platform. The platform has already proven
that it is the king of engagement in 2018 recently got a billion active
users.
It is also predictable to catch $5.48 billion in ad
revenue in just the US next year. So, what does this mean for marketers
connected to the social media industry? If your brand is on Instagram then it
is time to up your game and if your brand is not on Instagram you are missing
the fun already.
Edit
Button For Twitter
On the users demand while replying to a tweet Twitter
noticed to add an edit button for the tweets. So it is expected that in 2019
Twitter will get an edit button.
These were some predictions for upcoming social media
year maybe they will be wrong at some place but keeping the facts and updates
from these mentioned platforms it can be assumed that 2019 will be a fun year
for social media marketers.
