Our communities have similar challenges and our ecosystems are compatible.

The summit will gather policy makers, European startup communities, innovative leaders from regional and global market”.

Municipality emphasizes that “in a global world, when no one can isolate to avoid problems (such as Covid19), what we can do is to use this as a constructive tool, and create a mechanism which offers the same resources to as many communities as possible access to them. Innowave Summit is one of the ways we invite communities to rejoin and discuss solutions that tackles vital problems for our cities, such as digital transformation, or accessing innovation European funding and opening access to eastern European startups, and most of all solution provider for the most urgent Green Deal needs”.

Sales in the Metaverse – How, Who and When?

by ExpandX | Marketing & Web, by ExpandX | Marketing Library

Testing New Tools for Horizon Worlds Creators To Earn Money

Meta is testing new features to let creators make money within Horizon Worlds, the company’s social metaverse platform for Quest VR headsets that is soon coming to mobile phones and possibly game consoles.

The metaverse—by nature of its not being limited by physical space—will bring a new level of creativity and open up new opportunities for the next generation of creators and businesses to pursue their passions and create livelihoods.

Creators and entrepreneurs will have more freedom to find a business model that works for them. So we’re excited to take this step today and expand further on the $10 million Horizon Creators Fund we announced last October, which we’ve been using to provide resources to Horizon Worlds creators. We’ll continue to work with our creator community and test and learn.

“While the focus is on monetization for creators now, ads may be an area we want to explore in the future”

Meta is also rolling out a “goal-oriented bonus program” to encourage creators to use its tools and build out their worlds. These bonuses will not be subject to fees and will be paid in full. They are determined largely based on the engagement a creator’s world receives, according to Sharma.

We’re beginning to roll out a test with a handful of creators that will let them sell virtual items and effects within their worlds. For example, someone could make and sell attachable accessories for a fashion world or offer paid access to a new part of a world.

Selling Virtual Items and Effects

Тhe experiences are the most valuable currency of the digital world and in social media | Temelko Dechev | Bloomberg TV

by ExpandX | Marketing & Web, by ExpandX | Marketing Library

With no quality digital assets and digital presence businesses can not grow and can’t compete at all | Тemelko Dechev, Managing Partner, ExpandX Marketing & Web, in „Business Start” by BloombergTV

In order to expand globally, to reach new markets or to win market share the businesses should first be extremely specific about which countries, cities or regions they are willing to penetrate and why.

It is also extremely important to consider how well the specific niche is already developed. If so at all? That will define the marketing cost at awareness levels.

“I would recommend to those businesses who wish to conquer new markets, to have very well-prepared and outlined in details analysis of why would customers choose their products or services over the ones of the competitors that are already being bought.” Temelko Dechev said for Bloomberg.

As per the new tendencies and recent insights related to the marketing strategies he pointed out that in recent years clients are looking for complete, the so called A-Z solutions that equip the business with the full spectrum of marketing, advertising, digital presence, digital assets, web development and sales services.

Collection and processing of personal data is now done in a different way – the end customer has a choice.

Can marketing coexist with data privacy? Of course, all of the recent regulations really put limits on how digital marketers are able to use information to create a personalized experience for shoppers and customers. It’s no wonder that Gartner predicted that 80% of marketers will abandon personalization efforts by 2025.

Where it was once commonplace to track target leads through an entire sales journey, certain elements of the process are now starting to evolve to remain in line with certain global privacy restrictions. But there are many ways this all can be tackled in an extremely effective way both for the business and the end user.

Тhe experiences are the most valuable currency of the digital world and in social media

If we take video marketing for example this marketing tool is gaining so much speed in the recent years that not only businesses are taking advantages of it and add it to their marketing mix, but global giants and enterprises like Meta for example add this line of business as one of the main service tools: Reels in Instagram and LIVE videos by Facebook. There are so many other examples.

Businesses should invest in video marketing more than ever before. This is a key element of the marketing mix nowadays.

On another note, the role of the business development manager is important and a key element of the overall growth efforts but is far from enough if not supplemented and preceded by quality digital marketing, proper competitive positioning, engaging content mix and alignment of value proposition by the marketing and sales teams of a certain organization.

If a business doesn’t have quality digital assets, content, image and competitive digital presence it is as if it does not exist at all.

„This is extremely important as businesses should stay ahead of their competitors on so many marketing, sales and business verticals. They should communicate, engage and connect with their potential and current audiences in a very authentic and genuine way. They should be there where the people are and spend time.” Temelko Dechev said.

What should you plan for your Digital Marketing Strategy in 2022?

by ExpandX | Marketing & Web, by ExpandX | Marketing Library

This article is going to talk about Digital marketing strategy and what you should plan for your Digital marketing strategies in 2022. Digital marketing has been around since the internet first started, but it is only now becoming a focus of businesses ever since more people have joined online social media platforms. It works with many different types of websites from Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram. Digital marketing requires careful planning from your company before jumping into this type of advertising because there are gains and losses that come with it.

In order to gain an advantage over your competitors, Digital marketing is the way to go. Digital advertising lets your business have a higher level of reach, interact with potential customers, and get insight into customer behavior, which helps you know what they want to serve them better in the future. Digital marketing has definitely become an essential part of companies’ strategies in 2021, but what does Digital Marketing Strategy look like in 2022? Let’s find out.

Digital Marketing in 2022:

Digital marketing is a crucial part of any business plan. Digital marketing in 2022 will be even more important. Digital marketing started out as a way for businesses to use technology to better connect with their potential and current customers.

Still, it has evolved so much over the past decade that many have come to see digital marketing as its own industry. Digital Marketing Consultant Jonathan Weber said, “As digital technologies proliferate throughout society, they become increasingly intertwined with culture and society.”

Digital Marketing in 2022 should help you reach a larger but targeted audience in a short time:

Unlike organic reach, using marketing channels, you can reach your potential customers with ease and in no time. Digital Marketing channels are paid marketing that you can promote your business across different social networks.

Digital marketing is a way in which companies and individuals can reach potential clients through Digital Media such as the Internet, Social Networks, Mobile Phones, Web TV, and Digital TV. Digital marketing delivers faster returns when it comes to ROI [return on investment].

Digital marketing has become a phenomenon that people can’t miss out on. Digital marketing will continue to be used by companies and marketers to connect with potential customers and boost their sales in 2022 as well as during the next decade.

Digital Marketing Channels:

Digital marketing evolved from online marketing into something bigger. Digital marketing is marketing that uses digital technologies, like the internet or mobile devices, to reach your target audience and convince them to buy your product or service.

Digital advertising takes many forms, including display ads, email campaigns, videos on social media sites, search engine optimization (SEO), search engine marketing (SEM), and many more ways of reaching your customers.

Digital Marketing in 2022 is all about mobile marketing:

Digital marketing efforts are becoming more focused on mobile devices. Digital marketing use on mobile devices is currently 10x higher than it was just a few years ago.

The digital landscape has continued to evolve, and the way that people use their mobile devices has become increasingly diverse. Digital media consumption habits, such as browsing content, shopping for products and services, watching videos, and playing games, have all shifted from desktop computers to mobile devices.

Digital marketing strategies are evolving to reflect the new digital reality where consumers seek information and connect with brands through mobile devices.

To succeed in 2022, you need to be active on Social media:

Social media has become more popular than any electronic media, and if you wish to excel at marketing your brand, you should learn to make it work for you. Using social media to market your brand or service should be part of your Digital Marketing.

Conclusion:

Digital marketing is all about making your brand noticeable through Digital Media. Digital marketing uses digital technologies to deliver promotional messages or build relationships with customers or stakeholders. Digital marketing in 2022 will be more targeted and personalized.

It makes it easier for businesses to get their brand or product seen by consumers, and Digital Media is the way this marketing has been achieved. Digital Marketing will continue to be used by companies and marketers to connect with potential customers in 2022 and onwards.
