“User-generated contents, especially the contents generated by micro and nano influencers, constitute a key social media trend for 2021”, read a part of the article while discussing other top social media trends. Interestingly, Raaf has stressed that one doesn’t always need to spend money on influencers to leverage their brand through UGC. A smarter and more economical way here is to share the contents and photos that have tagged their locations organically.

With Influencer Marketing fast getting traction by leaps and bounds, the Medium article has dedicated multiple pointers on capitalizing on the trend of influencer marketing. Raff has advised to focus more on nano and micro influencers if signing up with star influencers cross the budget. He has also highlighted the significance of influencer seeding. 

Speaking on Raaf noted about the need for businesses (especially local business) to create stronger Google My Business Accounts.

“Google reviews are more reliable than Yelp reviews and they’re critical for a solid local SEO. Having a strong local listing will also drive clicks, calls, leads, and sales for local businesses”, Raaf added in.

Moving further, the article has even included some old trends like Email marketing and SMS marketing as some of the hottest SMM trends for 2021. But, according to Raaf, one needs to revamp the way these strategies work for long and include the latest nuances to make them more relevant for today. For example, brands can try more mobile-friendly email marketing mails with emojis at the right places.

The Medium article has also mentioned the rise of custom filters and GIFs to create more awareness about brands, foray of “marketing funnel” into mainstream business jargon as well as growing usage of chatbots on business pages on social media for better and prompter customer care.
