Marketers need to be ahead of the curve by being creative and trend-conscious over the coming year. So what are the digital marketing trends that can’t be ignored in 2020?
Going into 2020, many brands will start incorporating omnichannel marketing experiences into their strategy to provide an overall smooth and seamless experience to the customer. Mainly through social media, users are able to jump from one link onto the next and get all the details of the product or service they’ve been searching for with minimal effort. Whether they end up purchasing online or visiting a nearby store, they end up saving effort and time.
As much as people tried to avoid it by resisting, it looks like the voice search is one of the digital marketing trends that are here to stay. It’s estimated that 50% of searches made in 2020 will be done via voice command. With virtual assistants proliferating the market the transition is becoming more natural. From a digital marketing perspective, this shift will drastically affect longtail keywords and their effectiveness, ultimately resulting in a big change in SEO strategies.
Despite the whole globalization, a lot of businesses rely on their local activity and cater to the local demographics. This being said, small businesses that are rising will constantly put into action pinpointed local search results and provide accurate information on their website and on their Google My Business Listing to gain more visibility and reach from the local community that consists of their target audience and first paying customers.

Moreover, at EMLV Business School, MBA students specializing in Digital Marketing Strategy take an in-depth course of Marketing 360-Cross Channel Marketing where they get to develop a chatbot from start to finish and learn all the tips and tricks of creating a smooth messaging experience for customers.
