Whether you\u2019re a start-up or an established brand, marketing never stops evolving. There\u2019s no time to rest as we continue full steam ahead into another dimension every day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marketing in 2022 will require listening intently to what customers want and being responsive to their needs as competition grows ever-more fierce. Here are five digital marketing strategies to help you make the most of 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Treat your first-party data like gold.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Advertisers and marketers are on their toes as growing consumer privacy concerns force traditional third-party data collection into the dustbin of history. Safari and Firefox have already banned website cookies. Google will scrap them on Chrome (which\u00a0<\/span>represents<\/span><\/a>\u00a0nearly 70% of market share) in 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Brands need to adopt new strategies for connecting with customers. That means capitalizing on the \u201cgold\u201d sitting right under their noses. I\u2019m talking about first-party data. Customer data from sources like completed on-site purchases, surveys, customer feedback and your CRM is valuable for two big reasons.\u00a0First, because you own it. Second, it gives you the blueprint for your ideal customer.<\/span><\/p>\n

    You can use first-party data to glean key insights about your customers, tailor content to their preferences, predict their behavior and more. Squeeze every drop of value from this pot of gold and handle it as if your success depends on it \u2014 because it just might.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Use machine learning for paid media.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Speaking of first-party data, one of the main challenges is how to make sense of it all. Why have your staff sift through and analyze mountains of data when AI-powered solutions can do it in a fraction of the time? This is where machine learning comes in.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Simply put, machine learning is the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to help systems learn without explicit human intervention (i.e., programming).\u00a0It can help you determine when a user is most likely to click on an ad and when they\u2019re more likely to convert on your site.<\/span><\/p>\n

      One area where machine learning is already serving paid media is Google\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>\u201cMaximize conversions\u201d bid strategy<\/span><\/a>, which uses advanced machine learning to automatically optimize bids based on historical information about your campaign and budget. No more guessing games when it comes to setting bids on individual keywords.<\/span><\/p>\n

      It\u2019s time to ditch the spreadsheets and tap into the power of machine learning for paid media (and more).<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Focus on personalization.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        We all like to feel special, and research shows that customers who get a tailored, curated experience are more likely to make a purchase. They\u2019re also more likely to buy from you again. Two in three (66%) customers\u00a0<\/span>expect<\/span><\/a>\u00a0companies to understand their unique needs and expectations. Around the same number (68%) expect brands to demonstrate empathy.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Given these expectations, how can you deliver a more personalized customer experience? The needs of your shoppers will depend on where they are on the customer journey, of course, but here are some ideas:<\/span><\/p>\n
