The future of social media is very bright. Many companies are turning to online marketing and social media to promote their products and/or services.
Our team at LiveWorld recently brainstormed what we see as the top social media trends looking back at 2013 -- not just to play quarterbacks, but as an exercise to help us look forward at what's coming next year.
Advertising used to be so simple. Marketers pressed the button marked "campaign launch" and ads on TV, radio, posters and in the press would pour out. But that old trick won't work in social media. If an online campaign fails to tantalise and fascinate and neglects to encourage participation, it'll be ignored or blocked faster than you can say " sneezing panda".
In the past decade we have seen many changes in the world of Social Media and business. Twitter and Facebook have adapted to the world of business better than anyone could have imagined.
It's been an epic year for social media marketing. And you're probably wondering what the future holds next year. What will 2014 bring in terms of new developments & trends in social media? We asked several social media professionals & a few seasoned entrepreneurs what they think next year will bring for the future of social media.
