At the start of each year, there is always a lot of interest in predictions for the year ahead and the latest marketing trends.”What’s Hot?” and “What’s Next?” are always the most common questions when I give webinars and talks! As we near the end of the first month of 2016, and people look to the year ahead, the interest increases. Since it’s that time again, in this post and a series of others looking at customer lifecycle tactics, I’ll look at what I see as the latest trends in marketing which look set to continue into the rest of 2016.
To inform my thinking on marketing innovation, I’m always interested to hear the view of “hands-on” marketers in businesses running digital marketing activities as to what they see as the most important trends and I’m grateful for readers input into research like that shared in our Managing Digital Marketing report which we will be updating later in the year.
In a poll launched in the Autumn I asked readers to give their views on which digital marketing techniques will matter most to their businesses in 2016. The question was:
Since we’re talking trends, I’m interested to hear your opinion on THE biggest trend in digital marketing as shown by what will make the most difference to your business (or your clients if you work for an agency or as a consultant), i.e. which digital marketing technique will give you the most uplift or incremental benefits?
