Among all digital platforms, there are 3 “major players” that have the widest audience spreaded worldwide. Beside that, these players offer modern ways to evolve your product.
The key players of the digital market
Facebook, Youtube and Instagram are the most popular social media platforms among users. Initially these platforms were not created for product placement and marketing. The idea was to create such a platform which will connect people from different parts of the planet. During the years the platforms started adding multiple features. The product owners had official pages of their products but there were no chances to sell it directly.
So, the sites decided to develop tools for business pages because there were many users that could be potential customers. These customers could be interested in the product but don’t have enough time to visit the official website to find the item there. So they added a tool which gives an opportunity to buy a product by one click directly.
In addition, it’s worth mentioning that in the developing digital world, there are well known SaaS products that are also needed to be grown and again, via social media platforms. But only having accounts for your SaaS product isn’t enough, just like for other media products. Here is the importance of picking the right social media platforms which will be popular among your target audience, give you an opportunity to achieve business goals, and offer various ways to interact with potential customers.
Besides having appropriate tools and platforms, you need to raise attention on your product by using different types of techniques to promote your product. These could be colorful illustrations, catchy video materials, user reviews etc.
The differences of product marketing in social media
Despite these 3 platforms having a huge amount of users, each of them has unique user groups and age stages. Facebook is more popular among the grown audience. The average age of Facebook users is 41 years. Facebook is mostly used for reading news and sharing opinions between users.
Instagram users are younger: 40% of users are between 25-35 age. Here users are mostly sharing their life moments via stories and photo or video posts.
Youtube in this case includes the interest of all users of different ages. Considering all these facts, you need to make your content and product commercial that will be appropriate for all ages.
Talking about product placement and online shopping, we can’t miss a part which refers to payment. As cryptocurrencies became very popular in recent years, the payment with cryptocurrencies is possible due to Kraken which is a crypto exchange platform. Cryptocurrencies give an opportunity to have decentralised finance and are a part of modern trade. Also the exchange platforms allow customers to make their payment process easier.
