TikTok is allowing users to get a more in-depth look into their audience including their age demographics, interests, and even gender. This could expose interesting details regarding trends for ad campaigns. socialmediatoday.com/news/TikTok-Ad… #MKTG475

adage.com/article/market… Who remembers the chicken sandwich wars from a few years back? My go-to will always be Chick-fil-A, but this debate might make me second guess myself. #MKTG475

Social media has a huge impact on young shoppers decision making this holiday season. I am personally guilty of finding gift ideas from both Instagram and TikTok. This goes hand-in-hand with influencer marketing. washingtonpost.com/business/2022/… #MKTG475

socialmediatoday.com/news/Pinterest… Do you use Pinterest for gift ideas? Could this save the day for last-minute shoppers? #MKTG475

Snapchat is adding Halloween-themed lenses for the season. Do you think these are going out of date, or still a fun feature?socialmediatoday.com/news/Snapchat-… #MKTG475

TikTok has recently launched a BeReal "copycat" which they are calling TikTok Now. I find it interesting that most social media apps have taken inspiration from others to incorporate into their platforms. #MKTG475 techcrunch.com/2022/09/15/tik…

As of January 2021, TikTok was ranked the 4th most-used social media platform in the world! Do you think the platform has the potential to be number one within the next few years? #mktg475

Looking forward to a great semester! #mktg475

In my opinion, consumers need to feel safe and comfortable around robotic products. Companies could hold events where the technology is explained in detail and show human interaction with the robots. This could give beneficial feedback from consumers also. #ICMKTG #WVU389

Dynamic pricing can be frustrating for some consumers who expect to pay a certain price when prices go up. However, decreased prices are never a bad thing for consumers. In my opinion, brands doing this are playing their customers. @LaurelAynne #ICMKTG #WVU389

The Coinbase Super Bowl ad was the most shocking to me because of its use of an interactive QR code. This creative ad was easily a #MarketingWin because the website crashed after millions of people responded. @LaurelAynne #ICMKTG #MKTG389

Quite frequently, I see advertising on social media for small organizations, and I feel this is a great outlet to gain positive attention. St Judes is commonly seen on tv. I have also recently noticed them trending on my Instagram. #WVU389 #ICMKTG

The consumer experience will surely benefit from the rise in new technologies. Consumers will have more frequent access to newly developed products and services. I am most excited for digital data-capture technology to see the effects of marketing actions. #WVU389 #ICMKTG
