In a recent online business TV show, Smith discusses the latest big trends and how businesses can incorporate social media into their marketing strategies. According to Smith there are two big developments in social media that businesspeople should be aware of. Firstly, says Smith, “we have seen a big move towards video and multimedia content. Video sharing sites just keep on taking off. The technology and the cost of creating things on videos is falling year on year.”
The other important online new trend relevant to marketing strategies is blogging, in all its forms, says the business advisor: “blogging is becoming easier and more accessible and available on a bigger number of platforms. So you can blog online, on a social network page, via your mobile, or microblogging where you blog in one sentence or less. There are more access points for people than ever.”
