Social Media Trends 2022 – You Shouldn’t Miss These 3
No marketing department can predict the future of digital and classic marketing by crystal ball gazing. Wouldn’t it be great to have such a leg up on your competition? Unfortunately, we don’t have such a magic item in our editorial office, but on the other hand we do know which social media trends 2022 are on their way!
1. Social Media Trend 2022: Social Commerce
In the last few years, screen time has increased tremendously. Another factor that has contributed to this trend is the outbreak of the current pandemic. The latter definitely accelerated it due to temporary lockdowns, the absence of a normal social life and thus the increasing engagement with devices like smartphones and tablets. Social networks top the list of the most used programs and services. One of them that definitely needs to be mentioned: Instagram. The company was founded in 2010, back then the online platform’s content were pictures and captions. Over the years, Instagram expanded their functions with IGTV, stories and Instagram Shopping. Initially, the latter has not been used excessively, whilst now more and more companies start creating business accounts including their own Instagram shop. The advantages of such a digital shop are quite obvious: companies can create an online shop using the Commerce Manager for free, or they can integrate existing ones. These can be individualized thanks to special features, and can be adapted to a defined brand personality, whilst a shopping tab presents relevant companies and products – at least to users in the US. Furthermore, potential customers can reach out to companies via a messaging button that connects them via Whatsapp, Instagram Direct or Messenger. In the course of this chat conversation, businesses can introduce their products and services and even sell them directly in the chat.
2. Social Media Trends 2022: Facebook-Advertising
Facebook might seem to be rather ‘uncool’ to younger generations. It’s a fact though, that 1.8 billion people use the platform on a daily basis. Therewith, Facebook still tops the list of social media channels – and can help you reach your target group, depending on the industry you are in. In January of 2021, Facebook reported 23 billion users that spent around 58 minutes per day on the platform. These numbers prove that Facebook is not as uncool as you might think. And therewith, it is one of the social media trends for 2022 that you should not miss! Especially because Facebook Ads enable your business to clearly define your target group: demographically, geographically, etc. Facebook Ads are easy to create, can be displayed on mobile devices and laptops with only a few clicks. Once you have published your advertisement, you can track its performance thanks to the advertisement manager. This function enables your access to reports and analyses regarding the ad’s reach, engagement, likes and a list of your best performing advertisements, too. Thereby, you can optimize future ads, keep or elaborate your marketing strategy: with the experts’ support that evaluate the data and formulate the best action scenarios – our team of experts at Dinnova is on hand with help and advice!

Users can upload content, other Reddit users can vote for or against them. The most popular posts or at least those with the most engagement top the list.
