Don' t think of it as a one-time campaign; it'll evolve and grow as your business does. Chase assembled a panel of digital marketing experts—from Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Yelp—to help you plan your 2017 social campaigns. Here are some of their suggestions: Go mobile : We consume virtually all information on-the-go, so your marketing platform should be "mobile-centric" instead of just "mobile-friendly."

As we enter 2020, marketers and business owners must prepare for upcoming digital marketing trends. The landscape of marketing is constantly changing, and if you don’t keep up, you’ll miss out on ways to bring your business to new heights.

Imagine if marketers used the same approaches they used decades ago. They wouldn’t be able to appeal to their target audiences, and their businesses surely wouldn’t thrive off of old procedures. Keeping up with the trends is important if you’re going to advance your business and market to consumers the way they want. Here are three digital marketing trends businesses need to pay attention to in 2020.

When properly utilized, a well-designed social media marketing campaign can be a powerful lead. Few marketing buzzwords seem to elicit more attention than social media. That’s because when a social media campaign is creative and well-executed, it can prove a powerful addition to your marketing arsenal. Social Media icons But with so much competition for attention, ever-adapting algorithms and costly marketing mistakes, many have a difficult time generating a significant return on investment from social media. Yes, social media marketing can be rife with pitfalls—but it’s also packed with potential. This became abundantly clear to me when I interviewed Florian Sussbauer, a social media systems guru and one of Germany’s top experts in building and scaling agencies. During our conversation, we talked about how social media can be used to significantly supercharge any company’s inbound marketing campaigns. You just have to utilize it to your own advantage.

Offline marketing often seems like a risky proposition for e-commerce companies. Today, everything is tracked, measured, analyzed, and organized. Clicks are counted, and page views are neatly displayed on spreadsheets. Source; Indeed Magnus To put money behind a marketing channel where results are difficult to track seems strange, or even foolish. Yet I’d argue that offline marketing channels have plenty of potential in the digital age. While you can’t get immediate stats on the exact number of clicks and conversions, as you would with a Facebook ad, these efforts can be just as effective. You simply have to invest the proper amount of time and resources. You also want to be open to trying new channels because you don’t really know what’s going to work until you give it a shot. It's best to be agnostic when it comes to the digital/non-digital divide. If you take a consistent and patient approach when trying new offline channels, you’ll almost certainly end up finding

Financial marketers will have to make the customer experience their number one priority if they hope to beat back the fintech threat. Traditional banking providers will need the right resources — a combination of both talent and bigger budgetary investments — to leverage data and personalize the customer journey, otherwise, fintech challengers could win consumers' hearts... for good. Can traditional financial institutions rise to the challenge and pull it off? A study from Adobe and eConsultancy shows that senior-level decision-makers in the banking industry have finally woken up to the threat that fintechs represent, and now concede that everything today — from marketing to the customer experience — revolves around digital channels. According to a study from Adobe, the proportion of financial services companies that viewed themselves as advanced in terms of digital maturity nearly tripled from 7% in 2016 to 19% last year. That’s a huge improvement, but there’s still work t

Andrew is a Baby Boomer and Director at a Fortune 500 company that I was working with last week to write his LinkedIn profile when I asked him why he didn’t post on LinkedIn. He was trying to get more attention for himself while looking for a specific kind of job. He has never posted before and needed some guidance on exactly what to put out there. I turned to Hannah Morgan, a guru of job search information. Linkedin Logo Before becoming a job search strategist and facilitator, Morgan of Rochester New York spent time working in HR recruiting were a lot of hiring was going on. She also worked for Lee Hecht Harrison doing outplacement classes and I asked for her advice. I asked why people don’t post and she noted three reasons: #1 they don’t know what to post #2 they worry it’s self-promotion #3 they don’t realize it is important to post and share with their network The easiest thing to do is post about your job, occupation, your company, your industry and sh

Banking providers continue to struggle with digital marketing — everything from how much budget to allocate to digital channels and how results should be measured. The Financial Brand asked digital marketing experts in the banking industry what they see as the biggest mistakes financial marketers make most often. Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter icons Mistake #1: Taking the Same Approach on Every Channel Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube are all radically different social media platforms, each with its own norms. The same thing applies to traditional media channels — TV, radio, billboards, direct mail, etc. Each has a different strength that will have different appeal to specific and unique segments of the audience. There are times that the message and/or campaign objective lends itself perfectly to one channel (or more), while other channels might be completely inappropriate or ineffective. But banks and credit unions will frequently lump multiple channels together (e.g
