The Top 5 Online Marketing Trends That Will Dominate 2015 The year 2015 has brought many new trends to Marketing.

Companies are stepping out of their boxes to compete for the top position in an economy that is still very injured. Many companies have realized that the best way to thrive is to tap into the many online innovations consumers are attached, addicted, and dedicated to. Simply advertising on the radio and in the newspaper is a thing of the past. More marketing dollars are being spent on digital marketing because; through social media customers are provided ways to give insight about brands and their reputations. Social sites like FaceBook, Twitter, and
LinkedIn help companies understand what consumers want now, what they do not like, and what they hope to see in the future. Companies know that when consumers are satisfied with a product they do not mind sharing their buying experience with others.
