From rising platforms to worthy causes, utilizing social media for shopping, live events, or forming relationships, it's time to dive into the 2021 social media trends.

1) Brands Must Humanize

Smart businesses will understand that being transparent, authentic, and even vulnerable is smart marketing in 2021. People connect with people. This means the brand should be personified in a way that reveals whom they stand for and what they stand for.

2) LinkedIn Networking Behavior Changes

LinkedIn is currently plagued by mass-outreach spam, which is making people more hesitant and skeptical about connecting and more easily offended by a sales pitch. Outreach spam ruins relationships and reputations but real relationships build them.

In 2021, marketers will want to focus on building relationships rather than collecting connections whose sole purpose is to drop a sales pitch after two interactions. Real 1:1 connections begin when the connection request is customized for the recipient, making them feel valued.

The sophisticated social media marketer will put effort into building meaningful, long-term relationships on LinkedIn that aren’t perceived as transactional.

The effect will be not only stronger relationships. A more sizable cohort of one’s ideal target audience will see and interact with your posts and those relationships will continue to add value to your career for far longer than a current campaign.

Small and medium-sized businesses will make their presence virtually. All the office buildings infrastructure will be converted to homes and real estate business will be on the rise. These steps will make economic benefits to the businesses because their rental expenses will be decreased. An extra huge income will be generated from the rental income from households. Therefore, in the year 2020, the coming marketing strategy should promote the virtual working trend.

4) Facebook Advertising Success Is Tied to the Customer Lifecycle

As the online marketplace continues to become more saturated and Facebook advertising costs continue to rise, returning to the foundational aspects of running ad campaigns on Facebook and Instagram will be critical to success.

Central to that success will be accurately assessing the customer life cycle and the average customer value so you know how much you can pay for a lead and still remain profitable. Review the records of your past customers to get a solid sense of how leads join your list, the length of time between someone joining your list and becoming a paying customer, and how much your average customer spends with you.

Use that information to build out your projections and a Facebook advertising strategy that reflects your true customer data. Then you can move into developing innovative ad campaigns that play to Facebook’s preferences with creativity.

For example, because Facebook is giving more prominence to Reels on Instagram, predictions are that video ads will convert better than images. Recently tested ads that featured an image with audio, a static image, a moving image, and a video and found that the ad with video converted at as much as half the cost of the others. Test videos, GIFs, and Reels in your own ads to see which perform best with your ideal customer.

5) War against Disinformation

Making people aware of such activities and educating them on how to report fabricated news. Making fact-checking systems to help people is the best thing to do in 2021.
