Invest in Short-Form Videos
In the era of short attention spans, come up with things that people love. You cannot get customers the old-fashioned way. People no longer buy from those they find boring.
Focus on Storytelling
Be human, come up with real content that speaks about your experience. People buy from people, not ChatGPT. Your content should likewise reflect you.
Growth of Influencer Marketing
Hiring Kim Kardashian is a bad idea. She costs a ton of money, little to no conversion, and of course, your business will go under. The same is true for most big names. So, what is a small business to do?
Micro and Nano Influencers
People from their community are being trusted more. A Pakistani might want to buy from someone they can relate to. Lots of studies have shown that micro influencers are more cost-effective than big na, es.
Localized Influencers
That neighbourhood kid who plays cricket for a bank? Yeah, that might be a good idea to hire him. People will relate more and help drive sales.
4. Social Commerce Expansion
People and businesses are selling online on things like TikTok Live. The products are shown live and sold. This world is for a range of industries from gems to gadgets. This is a huge market, and many of the big names have yet to cash in on this.
Localization of SEO and Voice Search
Now, SEO remains the backbone of online sales. If your business does not show up on Google, then money does not show up in your bank account, simple as that. Odds are, your business does not aim to sell products 6000 miles away in the Pacific Ocean.
You want local SEO in order to reach local audiences. Another thing is voice search. Not everybody speaks English. In fact, there is a huge and untapped market in regional language SEO. A buyer who is searching for what they want in Punjabi is currently not being catered to.
The same goes for other languages. A lot of buyers in Pakistan are not very fluent in English. These are people who are super likely to convert into paying customers, given the right options to choose from.
If you speak your customers’ language, they will reward you. Another thing is that you can even use top-of-the-funnel content in regional languages, as AI overviews are mostly dominating the English language search results.
