In today’s ever-evolving world of social media, it’s hard to keep up with the current trends, platforms, and strategies. To help you out, I’ve put together a list of the new, the old, and the upcoming social media tools. Check it out!!

What’s New

Graphic design tools, such as Canva, are HUGE! With it’s user friendly website, FREE price tag, and clean, modern designs, Canva is a huge asset I use in my own design projects. Take advantage of the templates for a variety of projects, including Facebook or email headers, postcards, and presentations!

What’s Out 

Ignoring the importance of video is no longer a viable option! Images and text only messages are no longer an effective marketing strategy. According to a recent article byAnimoto, you are immediately losing 25% of your potential consumer market if you don’t have a video. 25%!

See what else is out (and what to do instead), by clicking here.

What’s Coming

Keep an eye out for “Facebook at Work” – a new side of Facebook that is targeted towards companies and colleagues! Because “a connected workplace is a more productive workplace,” Facebook at Work aims to connect coworkers and create an avenue for quicker, more accessible communication.
