One of the trends in web marketing is Connected Devices such as televisions. Never before have had businesses had such an open window into the lives of their customers. And the businesses that are able to best capitalize on that window in order to drive traffic to their website will have a huge advantage in the years to come.

do it for free.Creating free content is essential if you want to stay relevant in the coming decade as it is likely to attract more customers.

The explainer video is another trend.

This can deliver a lot of customers to a website as they will be eager to know about a certain product.

Email is another way customers are likely to be driven into a website.

These strategies differ from the ones which have been in use because they can be able to reach a great multitude within a very short period of time. And also it is becoming a relatively cheaper means of marketing .Also consumers are able to get the right information from the right people and at the right time.
