The March 2020 social media trends range from social media revenue sharing to selfie-ready beer bottles and showcases how brands are further incorporating these online platforms to connect with consumers and differentiating themselves from competitors.
One intriguing example includes Instagram's new feature makes it ultra-convenient to give to charity with the introduction of its new 'donation sticker' for stories. Those who choose to donate simply need to tap the button and a pop-up will appear with a short bio for the organization and various dollar amounts—from $5 to $2,500 per transaction.
Another noteworthy example of the March 2020 social media trends is the new Byte Platform that shares ad revenue with content creators on the platform. Allowing creators to access ad revenue entices large scale content creators to transition to the platform.
