Our outlook for 2014 is optimistic. As marketers, it has never been a more exciting time. The following things to watch for range from very strategic to very tactical, but all are related in one big way. For marketers, none of them will matter, and none of them will work at all if not driven by a healthy, big idea.
Technology innovation has enabled incredible changes in the human behavior. If we look back just 20 years, we recall huge changes that disrupted the status quo:
• In the mid 90’s, access to the internet changed the way people sought and consumed information (and marketers had to grapple with a whole new way of marketing online)
• In the early 2000’s, online social networks allowed millions of people to connect with each other (and marketers had to develop playbooks to best engage with the prospects and customers)
• In the late 2000’s, smartphones gave the public instant access to everything the internet offered, no matter where they are (and marketers had to ensure their content strategies were mobile-friendly)
Today, we’re in the beginning of another period of major change -- where a number of innovations and shifts (to AI, bot platforms, voice based search, and further proliferation of video content, coupled with mobile-first consumers coming of age) will have a big impact on how marketers, and businesses in general, get things done.
Talking at IBRC's Social Media Futures Congress as the opening comment on on "what is the future of #socialmedia?" My thoughts: I'm not sure, anyone who says they know for sure - doesn't know. But... what I do know, is that social and content will become one. It kinda already has.

How to Use Social Media to Tell Your Brand Story, by Kim GarstY'all Connect
Kim Garst
Y'all Connect Presented by Alabama Power
June 13, 2014
Birmingham, Alabama
Social media can dramatically impact a brand’s image positively and negatively. Nearly 2 billion people use it not only as a source of news and information, but also as a resource to compare, shop, follow and evaluate brands.
The major difference between the old and new forms of brand messaging is that the consumer controls the message. That does not mean that the corporation does not have control over its online image: If it instead takes a positive, proactive and strategically balanced approach to crafting and consistently delivering high-quality, engaging content (brand storytelling), it can enhance its overall brand appeal.
Kim will discuss brand storytelling using social media and provide listeners with detailed, actionable steps they can follow to develop a comprehensive social media content strategy.

Specifically, the real-time marketing opportunity, image-based listening, and other late breaking topics.

Search Engine Marketing - Competitor and Keyword researchETMARK ACADEMY
Over 2 Trillion searches are made per day in Google search, which means there are more than 2 Trillion visits happening across the websites of the world wide web.
People search various questions, phrases or words. But some words and phrases are searched
more often than others.
For example, the words, ‘running shoes’ are searched more often than ‘best road running
shoes for men’
These words or phrases which people use to search on Google are called Keywords.
Some keywords are searched more often than others. Number of times a keyword is searched
for in a month is called keyword volume.
Some keywords have more relevant results than others. For the phrase “running shoes” we
get more than 80M relevant results, whereas for “best road running shoes for men” we get
only 8.
The former keyword ‘running shoes’ has way more competition from popular websites to
new and small blogs, whereas the latter keyword doesn’t have that much competition. This
search competition for a keyword is called search difficulty of a keyword or keyword
difficulty.
In other words, if the keyword difficulty is ‘low’ or ‘easy’, there won’t be any competition
and if you target such keywords on your site, you can easily rank on the front page of Google.
Some keywords are searched for, just to know or to learn some information about something,
that’s their search intention. For example, “What shoe size should I choose?” or “How to pick
the right shoe size?”
These keywords which are searched just to know about stuff are called informational
keywords. Typically people who are searching this type of keywords are top of a Conversion
funnel.
Conversion funnel is the journey that search visitors go through on their way to an email
subscription or a premium subscription to the services you offer or a purchase of products
you sell or recommend using your referral link.
For some buyers, research is the most important part when they have to buy a product.
Depending on that, their journey either widens or narrows down. These types of buyers are
Researchers and they spend more time with informational keywords.
Conversion is the action you want from your search visitors. Number of conversions that you
get for every 100 search visitors is called Conversion rate.
People who are at different stages of a conversion funnel use different types of keywords.
Monthly Social Media News Update May 2024Andy Lambert
TL;DR. These are the three themes that stood out to us over the course of last month.
1️⃣ Social media is becoming increasingly significant for brand discovery. Marketers are now understanding the impact of social and budgets are shifting accordingly.
2️⃣ Instagram’s new algorithm and latest guidance will help us maintain organic growth. Instagram continues to evolve, but Reels remains the most crucial tool for growth.
3️⃣ Collaboration will help us unlock growth. Who we work with will define how fast we grow. Meta continues to evolve their Creator Marketplace and now TikTok are beginning to push ‘collabs’ more too.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

TO GROW
6. SARAH GREENOUGH
SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER
PRINCETON PROPERTIES
@SGREENOUGH
MOBILE USAGE CONTINUES TO CLIMB with smart phones and tablets flooding the market. This trend will continue
in 2014. We currently have over 25% of our web traffic coming from mobile. Just two years ago, it was only
3-5%! In 2014, our focus will be on improving our mobile exposure. One step is to convert from WAP pages to
responsive designed websites. We have started this process already.
SOCIAL MEDIA FOR MARKETING AND CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL CONTINUE TO GROW. Residents use social sites,
such as Facebook, to become part of a “virtual community” at their apartment buildings. Residents also use
these venues to contact management teams with questions and concerns. This source of communication will
continue to grow; we embrace this way of doing business. It allows us to be where our customer is and provide
quick and friendly answers. Social sites allow for us to be responsive and attentive in an environment that our
residents prefer.
One issue that I hope to resolve in 2014 is to try and gain more reliability and responsiveness from our marketing
partner. As the “one stop shop” MFH partners continue to grow, we customers feel the growing pains. They are
growing so large, trying to be all things to everyone that many issues are falling through the cracks. Monitoring
our relationships with marketing partners to ensure accuracy has become a much bigger task for our team than
in years past. We always have to verify and then verify again!

their content strategy.

MY TWO PREDICTIONS CAN BE SUMMED UP IN TWO WORDS: FIRST, “RESPITE” AND
SECOND, “ENRICHMENT”
MESSAGING THAT TRULY SPEAKS TO PEOPLE
THE WORD “ENRICHMENT” WILL FIND ITSELF FRONT AND CENTER IN OUR MESSAGING
10. MIKE BREWER
VP MILLS PROPERTIES
@MBREWER
MY TWO PREDICTIONS CAN BE SUMMED UP IN TWO WORDS: FIRST, “RESPITE” AND SECOND, “ENRICHMENT”
MESSAGING THAT TRULY SPEAKS TO PEOPLE. People are flat out exhausted and their capacity to focus is all but
depleted. I think 2014 marketing themes will start to incorporate words like rest, refuge, and respite. We will
need to think about creating environments and messages that speak to people’s innate need to pause, reflect,
and be mindful about their lives. This will build toward my second prediction…
THE WORD “ENRICHMENT” WILL FIND ITSELF FRONT AND CENTER IN OUR MESSAGING. The really successful
operators will find ways to truly enrich people’s lives. This is the year we look beyond the concept of “adding
value.” We are going to find ways to understand people’s core values and create experiences that touch them
deeply.
BONUS PREDICTION – we should all get comfortable with the word “love” – because it’s coming. Loving each
other where we are and aligning the future such that singularity has a true and trusting basis and a real chance
of taking our lives to a crazy amazing place.

GOOGLE CAROUSEL WILL EXPAND INTO REAL ESTATE AND RENTALS. Today Google Carousel only covers travel,
hospitality, and restaurant queries, but I have a feeling Google will expand their categories into real estate and
rentals, which would be an awesome opportunity for our industry to gain that top placement across the carousel.
STAFFING FOR SOCIAL MEDIA TRULY ARRIVES. PMC’s will begin to realize that social media is essential to the
marketing and leasing mix and they will start to hire full time social media managers that work onsite alongside
the leasing and maintenance teams to handle the daily social media strategy and reputation management, very
similar to how the automotive industry has shifted over the years.

CONTENT MARKETING/BRAND JOURNALISM IS THE NEW WAY
14. ERIC BROWN
CEO, URBANE APARTMENTS
@URBANEWAY
THE CROWD ECONOMY IS HERE. Airbnb will add apartment search to their arsenal and turn the typical ILS on its
head. They will revolutionize how we search and lease apartments.
SOCIAL MEDIA PROVES TO BE INEFFECTIVE. There will be more fallout from apartment marketers about using
social media to market, not because it isn’t effective at generating leads, or that it doesn’t scale, but because
there are no good copy and paste, “easy solutions,” to social media marketing.
CONTENT MARKETING/BRAND JOURNALISM IS THE NEW WAY. This is the new way to advertise and market and
will dominate most other businesses marketing and outreach plans, yet few apartment marketers will do it
successfully, if at all. Apartment marketers will struggle to think and act like a “publisher,” and likely will be very
slow to tell good brand stories.

GIMMICKY BUZZWORD-BASED MARKETING DIES

@FIREBELLY
SOCIAL BUSINESS IS HERE. Social communications are here for a variety of uses. Marketing uses it for acquisition
and retention. But clever brands are already using it for creating an entirely new customer experience and
recruiting employees. We’ll see the emergence of truly social brands.
GIMMICKY BUZZWORD-BASED MARKETING DIES. Okay, it won’t. But I wish it did. The phrase du jour approach will
be abandoned and instead replaced with the winning combination of understanding the stories and vision of
consumer-centered experiences . That could be tactics for sure. But it will begin with visionary marketers seeing
how it all comes together and embedding that secret ingredient into it all – the power of word of mouth –
whether it’s online or offline. 2014 is going to be a roller coaster.
