Let’s dive in
Noteworthy Readership Trends
When we dug into some of the pageview trends around consumer tech keywords, we found a few standouts that indicate opportunities for marketers to position their products for success.
Working from home, conducting school from home, and more time for hobbies will be drivers of consumer tech purchases both now and when Black Friday rolls around.
Whether or not your product fits directly into one of these pertinent keywords, keep their broader context in mind as you start planning a standout Black Friday campaign.
Creative Best Practices Fit For Black Friday
Speaking of a standout Black Friday campaign…this brings us to creative best practices. Getting ahead of the types of imagery and keywords that garner clicks is essential as you plan your campaign.
These image trends leave a lot of room for creativity, especially if you may not be able to orchestrate the types of photoshoots you normally would. Get creative with incorporating food, save the text for accompanying couple, and use female subjects when you can.
Getting a grasp on which keywords can help you, which may be best to avoid, and where keyword opportunity lies is all part of a well-rounded campaign planning approach.
