Marketing Figures 2022: Every Brand Needs to Know to Succeed Malu Design

Looking for the latest social media and marketing statistics? Digital marketing stats? Or want to know the latest trends in lead generation? If so, we have some fascinating statistics for you.

You see in every data point hidden below the surface; there is a story. In every statistic lies an opportunity for advanced marketers or business leaders.

By analyzing the statistics below, you will discover what your competitors and the market are doing. When you know what the market is doing, you can identify gaps to accelerate your brand, attract more leads, and increase revenue for your business.

To illustrate this point, I will break down a few statistics for you.

Let’s use conversion rate optimization as our first example (CRO). Now for many of you reading this blog, you will no doubt be familiar with A/B testing. Did you know that in 2020, only 17% of the market is using A/B testing to improve conversions on their landing pages?

Now, if you’re currently using A/B testing on your landing pages, you’re ahead of the pack. It doesn’t matter whether you are a B2C business or a B2B business. Using just A/B testing, you can create a landing page that is converting at 10% to 40/45%.

Now, let’s say that the landing page generates $100,000,000 in revenue per month for other e-commerce or business businesses. In that case, you’d have a significant and measurable 400% improvement in revenue, increasing VND 100,000,000 per month to VND 500,000,000.

Not only will you improve your revenue stream, but you’ll also reduce your competitors’ market share. So, if you’re not using A/B testing on your landing pages, it might be time to start.

Now I know I drew an extreme position above, but I did so to illustrate the point. Without A/B testing, you never know how much you can improve your situation. And without knowing how far you can improve your position, you will never truly reach the potential of your company or organization.

This is just one example of hundreds of possibilities. You see, statistics tell in the past what happened last year, last quarter and last month. We live in a time where data, artificial intelligence, and new ways to reach our customers are always emerging.

As a reference point for the above example, we are currently using artificial intelligence to test 5 different landing pages at the same time. This gives some of our customers a significant advantage over their competitors and in their markets.

Having said this, we will divide the following statistics into seven key areas. Those areas are as follows:

Advertising – Advertising
Content Marketing – Content Marketing
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Lead Generation – Lead Generation
Email Marketing – Email Marketing
Social Media – Social Media Marketing
Video Marketing – Video Marketing

1. Advertising – Advertising

If there’s one area where you need to get it right or understand what your competitors are doing, it’s this one. The difference between a high-quality ad and a low-quality ad can be the difference between paying $6 to $1,090 per click.

As the statistics below show, the competition among advertisers is fierce. Video advertising is on the rise and ad placement and audience targeting are the top marketing tactics used by marketers in 2020.

2. Content Marketing – Content Marketing

The following is an interesting statistic to consider. Articles over 3000 words get 3x more engagement, 4x more shares, and 3.5x more backlinks than shorter articles (SEMrush ) .

As you prepare for your next article, you should consider the quality of the article and its length. Any content marketer who invests time in creating an article of this length will also develop a high-quality article. So there is a correlation between length, quality and professionalism.

As a result, this will increase the dwell time on your site. The number of times people viewed your content. This has a positive impact on your SEO.

So there is an inherent benefit to creating high-quality long-form content. Not only will your audience appreciate it, but it will also benefit your site in the short and long term.

4. Lead Generation – Lead Generation

As you will note below in one of the stats, the number one priority for marketers reported in 2020 is lead generation. We do not predict that this will change in 2021.

But this is something to think about. Over 60% of marketers say their CAC (customer acquisition cost) has increased. But only 17% of landing pages A/B test???

According to “Triggers,” placement and targeting are the top 2 tactics advertisers are currently using to drive more demand.

Marketers who used data to understand their customer base, demographics, and pain points held an advantage instead of assuming they knew them and building campaigns in that context.

Putting the right ad in front of the right audience at the right time delivers the right results — every time.

I would almost say that targeting and ad placement are more important than advertising. However, I do not want to emphasize the importance of creativity. However, using data to define your audience and their needs takes precedence before creating an ad.

In 2021, never assume what your audience is looking for; Build your case through data.

summary

As Malu stated in the first statistic, tell a story! As a marketer or business leader, look at the data in those stats and determine its benefits. We have to wonder what the hidden message is.

Are there gaps in the market and are there opportunities to exploit those gaps? Is it through A/B testing landing pages or A/B testing EDM campaigns? Should we write articles longer than 3000 words? Should we ensure our targeting and ad placement are second to none by using data to determine their needs and impact creativity?

In both digital and offline advertising, you see 10,000 ads per day. Yes, that’s right, 10,000 ads per day! In a world that gets little attention as marketers and business leaders, we have a responsibility to use every strategy and tactic to get our message across.

Because what if we’re actually selling something that helps consumers and or business leaders solve real problems? It’s our responsibility to make sure we’re doing the best job we can to ensure that our message cuts through the noise.

As the stats show above, doing more of the above will improve the chances of your message being heard and you’ll be in the air. You are competing where others are not ready to compete and differentiate your brand with your efforts.
