Digital Marketing Trends Highlights:

Social Media Marketing continues to be one of the pillars of marketing. It 2015, it is expected to be used as a solid and effective content distribution platform.

– 88% of marketers will use LinkedIn as a B2B marketing platform

– Instagram has over 200 million users. The app itself will be essential to businesses as the preferred image-sharing platform.

Small Businesses will highly benefit from a ‘one click payment’ option from social media websites. Apps such as Twitter allow businesses to sell their products instantly and directly on the user’s news-feed without leaving the app.

Email Marketing will be worth keeping an eye on. It is expected that content from emails will be re-purposed and will now be featured as friendly downloadable PDFs, eBooks and Whitepapers.

Finally, in 2015, Native advertising will shift from being solely about promotional content to being more about relevant content and will become an important part of online advertising.

Excited!

I had such a great two days of networking! It is very exciting meeting so many amazing people, but also very tiring. 

Hearing about what others do and seeing how we can work together is always exciting.

Their are SO many different networking groups out their. Each one has their own special niche.

I attending one that I think I am going to really enjoy, it was more about building a relationship with them first, then seeing if something can come from it. A guest speaker came to speak about LinkedIn which can be helpful for anyone, and I even learned a few new things. No one is allowed to hand out business cards, before, or during the speaker. 

I like this approach because it is about building “trust” with someone. How can you do business with someone if you don't trust them? 

After the meeting we went up to each other and simply asked when are you free to meet. I already have 4 meeting scheduled for next week and I can’t wait to hear what they do and see if we can build a friendship or a business relationship. 

I also went to one at Pub at Santana Row, it was with 141 people! I am so glad I went to this event. So many different categories and people to network with. The only thing I didn’t like was that it was very hot, crowded and very loud in the restaurant. 

I went one this morning at 7am! This was called LeTip, it is a networking event where you share and help each other get referrals. Only one person in each category can belong to the group. I like that for the fact you are not fighting for the business.

I think how each person approaches a networking event is all up to the person. I went in with my eyes and ears wide open. I am trying to meet people, build a relationship, and be successful at what I do.

Networking

GOOD MORNING! I am excited for today. I have two amazing networking events that I am attending today. 

One will be at a Lyons and will have guest speakers, and tonight I will be attending one at a bar after working hours, about 150 people will be attending. 

I don’t get my redesigned cards until Friday but thats OK! It is all about networking, meeting people, and gathering their business cards and reaching out to them.

Networking is an amazing way to grow your business, interact with others and find out what other amazing people are up to.

I will let you know how my events go today as it will be a full day of business talk.

Wish me luck!
