Videos will be the show stoppers

User-generated content will be the influencer

Consumer experiences have now become paramount to influence the audiences in favour of your business. According to the study by TurnTo Networks, user-generated content influences the buying decision more than any other form of advertising. Assurance and satisfaction with regards to the users’ experiences help establish a connection and boost sales. More the testimonials, better the conversion rates.

The phenomenon of augmented reality

Augmented reality (AR) has paved a way to make content even more interesting and fun. This trend, popularised by Instagram and Snapchat, will be adopted by other social media platforms to amplify businesses and user interactions as well. With AR filters gaining popularity on social media platforms, it has enhanced visual content experience in multiple ways. Add a dash of AR to your visual content and grab your audience's attention without fail.
