This month’s blog marks the end of a six-part series focusing on specific marketing trends throughout 2022 and beyond.
April brings us to the fifth 2022 marketing trend.
March brings us to our fourth marketing trend for this year, cause marketing.

Continuing with the six-part series covering 2022 marketing trends, this month is all about content alignment. Content alignment means offering credible, authoritative content via your website and social media platforms. Meaningful content will do a few things for your business such as improving your website’s search rankings and establishing you as an expert in your field.

Consumers have a desire for some sense of normalcy but enjoy the conveniences that the pandemic required businesses to come up with alternatives to keep their head above water. For example, grocery pick-up is something I can’t live without now that I have become accustomed to it. Although it was around prior to the pandemic, it wasn’t something I was willing to try. Why? I have no idea!
You’ve focused on the aesthetics of your website and letting people know about your great product or service, but have you thought about the Terms of Use? If you have a website that involves client interaction to download a product, buy goods or services, communicate with other users, and so forth, then your home page should include a link to your site’s Terms of Use (also known as Terms of Service).
