Have you ever thought about how fast we are changing and adapting to new technologies? With new technologies comes new ways of communication. Here is what Opus Communication thinks of what is going to happen to our social lives in future.
Social Travelling
Have you ever asked your friends that have they ever been to Egypt, Morocco or any other place? Most of your friends don’t know anything about it. So what if you have been there but you haven’t taken any picture or uploaded on your social profile. Are they going to believe you? On the other hand, if you have not been there, but somehow you have managed to put yourself in some images of historical places, with the mighty power of photo shop. How likely it is for them to believe?
Social Food
How many times you visit a nice restaurant to have some fine meal with friends and family. Again, the question lies here that does your friend circle knows about what you are doing or have done? Taking a selfie with a food in a restaurant shows a lot of things about people’s choice, their personality and their interest. So if you like somebody and you want to take her to dinner. Where would you go? Don’t worry the solution is in your hands. You just need to go through her profile and you will know each and everything you need to know about her.
Social Friends
Most of the people on social network don’t know about half of their friend list or they don’t meet that often but still they are friends on social network. Making your social circle is very important. You never know when you need help. In social networks, it is just a one status away and you will reach to your friends asking for their help rather than the traditional and time consuming method which is texting everyone one by one for help and waiting for their response. Social media has provided us with a platform where we can communicate and write our own story about our life.
Social Relationship
Social networks have open many new fields of our life. One of it is relationship status; you don’t need to be worried about the person relationship status. You will get to know about the person life history in seconds. It’s easy to see that whether a person is single or committed to someone through his or her social profile. It will help you in finding your partner or claiming the rights on your partner.
Social Shopping
Why is it important for us to share where we shop or where we went for shopping and how was their experience? We always want to wear or buy things that are popular in the market. Now how you will get to know about these latest trends? Obviously, the answer lies in front of us which is social media. you will look into what your friends are going for shopping and which brand they are buying. It helps you in creating an image about that brand. If you are very much fond of a person and you see that he or she is shopping from this brand. The chances are that you will also want to buy from that brand. This impression which has been embedded in the subliminal minds helps when you go for shopping.
Social Invitation
Looking at our social profiles, how many invitations you get in a day? It is very easy and cheap method to invite your long list on friends on your birthday, wedding, parties, concert or any other function without any cost. This social invitation helps people in finding out how many of their friends are going to this event. It will make the decision much easier whether you want to go there or find an excuse for not being able to come on that day. On the other side it also helps the other person in getting an idea of how many people are expected to come on their event. So they can make arrangement according to that.
Social Photoshop
We live two different worlds. One is the reality and the other one is the virtual world. Both are about the same person but in a different way. Reality shows what you really are and in the virtual world you tend to be what you want to be. How many profiles you have seen that are quite attractive but when you see them in reality it’s totally different. This is what we call the mighty power of Photoshop. By using different effects and filters we can create a virtual clone of ourselves that is what you want to be or looks like. In all the topics we have talked about, Photoshop was the key element. We tend to make our first judgment based on the other person display pictures. If it is attractive, we can even ask her or him out on a date without seeing that person in reality. Photoshop is the key element to the virtual world. Anything can be done from Photoshop. We can make products, displays or offer look attractive and gain the eye of the observer.
A Need for Social Marketing
This huge virtual world that we have created needs to be marketed through proper channel and social marketing team with the right social strategy to gain more response from the audience and reach in the market. When everything is about social media, it opens a new channels of communication through which marketers can market their product or services and reach its potential customer.
