Hello World! Welcome Friends! Can you believe that 2019 is just around the corner? With a new year comes new digital trends that will have a huge impact on how you live as well as conduct business. Below are some trends that are currently in practice but have been predicted to be on the rise in 2019.
Voice Search Assistants
Almost one third of the 3.5 billion searches performed on Google every day are voice searches. Everyday, more and more people use Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri and Google Assistant. As their capacity for recognizing human speech has improved significantly, they can be incredibly helpful in both searching for information on the Web as well as doing things around the house.
Paid Search Consultancy
Paid Search Consultancy is known in the marketing and advertising industry by many different names. Search Engine Marketing (SEM), Search Engine Optimization (SEO), pay-per-click (PPC), search engine advertising, and sponsored listings. With that also comes advertising programs such as Google Ads, Google Product Listing Ads, Google Shopping Ads, and Bing Ads. If you run a website, you will be familiar with most of these. This trend will only increase with time since we are definitely in the digital age.

Smart Devices, Broadband, and Streaming
Smart devices and the “Web of Everything” is taking over our domains. You see it in many everyday items now capable of connecting to the web or be controlled through an app:
LED bulbs
Washer & dryer
Refrigerators
Air & heat controllers
This evolution of our items give us real-time reports, alerts, and the ability to even browse the Web. Our appliances (and home) are just as connected as we are!
These items are a great addition for the modern living space. They do come at a higher premium and, of course, you’d need broadband internet, but the features make it well worth the investment!
These are just a sampling of the digital trends that will be on the rise in 2019. With the World at our fingertips, these trends will become more and more apart of our daily lives.
