Micro-moments, also known as key decision points, are inseparable from the micro – times ( the moment of action ). When all the intractable diseases can be searched by mobile phone anytime and anywhere, users are more focused on getting answers and solutions quickly. In just a few seconds, can you meet the needs of users at different stages?
2. Visual Search ( Visual Search )
Pinterest CEO Ben Silbermann once said: ” The main search method in the future will be from keyword to image .” Visual search is similar to the image search mentioned in previous years, but it is more advanced. Take Pinterest and Taobao as examples. Through visual search, users can get relevant purchase information more quickly. It is more convenient and intuitive than displaying only similar images in the image search results.
3. Video Marketing
Someone will say that this is an old tune, so let’s not say anything else, we just look at the data :
- 70 % of consumers said they have shared at least one brand of film
- 72 % of companies said the film increased conversion rate
- 52 % of consumers said that watching product videos would give them more confidence in online purchase decisions.
- 65 % of corporate executives visit the website of the industry, and 39 % of business executives call the supplier directly after watching the video.

Therefore, in 2019, in order to have a better user experience, please also pay attention to the “spoken language ( spoken ) search.
5. Native Advertising / Responsive Advertising ( Native Advertising )
In order to prevent advertisements from affecting reading, some users will choose to install an advertisement interceptor, which will result in the advertisement being unable to be effectively delivered, which is both painstaking and painful. Responsive advertising is like a Transformer in the advertising world. It can be placed on the principle of not breaking the page layout, and it can be perfectly integrated no matter where it is placed. The essence of native advertising is content marketing, so it doesn’t look like advertising. It is more like general content, making it easier for people to click, read and convert.

In the past, brand influence can affect purchases, and now, user feedback has a critical impact on users. Google reviews, Facebook ratings or PTT messages, Youtube’s actual experience, etc. , we are used to searching for strange stores and brands and seeing other people’s feedback. After all, no one will say bad things about themselves, but by other people. The good words are more credible.

Personalization is also the marketing focus often mentioned in recent years. When users pay more and more attention to a good experience, personalized marketing is generated. Making the website or online service more customized and flexible is the most basic personalization, and further advanced is to let customers feel that they are unique. For example, after applying for a membership, Netflix will let you choose the videos you might like, and then in each of the video’s profiles, there will be a percentage display that suits you.
10. Time Media Dynamics ( Social Media Stories)
After Instagram launched a limited-time update, Facebook also began to have a limited – time story that would only last for 24 hours. ” Time ” and “visual “.
