How Africa Social Network Media Will Predominate Future Marketing Tactics

By Cornelia White


All over the world, almost every market is extremely active on networking websites. For this reason, marketing departments have begun to run campaigns through networking platforms. While their popularity has been increasing in popularity since their implementation, the future holds even greater things. In Africa Social network platforms are equally important, but they still have much room for development in the future.

Most networking fans in Africa prefer using smartphone media, but the world's biggest networking sites are almost as popular. In South Africa, digital network membership has passed the four million user mark, and there are three million people using instant messaging applications.

The way audiences interact with their networks has much to do with the way marketers create their strategies. Savvy advertisers must know how much daily time their demographic spends online and what times the majority are active. The efficiency of various advertising methods vary, too, with profile page ads receiving more attention than those displayed on news feeds.

Until now, network marketing has been recommended, but still optional. This is set to change in the coming two years. Within the next year, it will be difficult for businesses to maintain their market share without integrated digital campaigns. However, within two years, it will be almost impossible.

Publicity can be generated in three core ways through networking sites. It is always necessary to generate revenue directly. However, social networking is reliant on shares and word of mouth advertising. This makes it core for advertisers to make the most of lead and referral generation.

Viral campaigns have become the Holy Grail of online marketing. Through this method, it becomes possible to attract millions of viewers almost instantaneously with little economic input and even less effort. However, virality is not an easy thing to achieve. Campaign managers now need to have their eyes on the memes, newsworthy stories, and current interests of their target market if they are to generate a true guerrilla campaign that generates the interest of the masses.

One of the most valuable tools of social media is that they offer algorithms and analytic methods. This allows marketers to research the kind of keywords, strategies, and posting techniques to use. Analytic tools allow entrepreneurs to assess their successes and failures by studying every element of their campaign. Real world marketing has never made it so simple to break down the success of campaigns according to each user's interaction, the tactics employed and the timing with which they are implemented.

Traditional marketing strategies are as important today as they were in the past. Today's business owners still need to develop their brand identities. They need to make use of their influencers, and the power of word of mouth advertising. Each campaign needs to be started with a comprehensive definition of demographics.

In Africa social network marketing is growing at a massive rate. Many of the more obscure, underrated networks are gaining ground at lightning pace. Media usage expands to include professional networks, social feeds, mobile communications, and image sharing sites. This leaves every business with the potential to generate campaigns that span multiple platforms to attract multifaceted markets.
