The first emerging trend is content marketing, an effective sales strategy for businesses, especially SMEs, to increase revenue.

Another emerging trend is that of chatbot technology. Put simply, chatbot technology is a computer program designed to simulate intellectual conversations with multiple people via audio and text.
Today, chatbots have become an important marketing technology trend to use, as they help to improve the quality of online customer service. This is because every customer wants their voice to be heard, and their queries answered, in a prompt and personalized way, regardless of the time or day or night. As such, using chatbots is the most effective way to provide [your] customers with the information that they want, 24/7.
Another emerging trend is that of voice search. According to Google, voice search is used by more than 50% of all internet users globally, however, in Indonesia, this is not the case. In Indonesia, it has been discovered that the voice search feature is unfavorable because the recording system often fails to accurately capture, and translate what the user has said or is saying. This disconnect has led many Indonesians to continue to manually type keywords into the search engine, the SEO, to get the information that they want.
Finally, for this article, the fourth marketing technology trend is that of the data and product analytics trend, which is a part of market research methods that have been aimed at collecting customer testimonials after they purchase your business's products.
From this testimonial data, you can clearly see which products are the best (and worst) sellers in your business, and feature them, the testimonials, on your website or social media. It is important that you share your customers’ testimonials so that visitors to your website or social media platforms can be informed on the products and services you are selling, whether they can trust their quality or providence, and whether they are what they are looking for. Moreover, once your business has identified its best-selling products you can easily analyze your sales results and strategically plan for the months ahead.
