2025 Social Media Trends
Social Commerce is Going Mainstream
Shopping directly on social media platforms is no longer a novelty; it’s becoming the norm.
As more platforms integrate shopping features, like Instagram’s Shop tab or TikTok’s in-app purchases, social commerce is set to explode in 2025.
For brands, this means a massive opportunity to directly engage consumers where they’re already spending their time. From live shopping events to shoppable posts, the lines between social media and e-commerce are blurring, and it’s something businesses can’t afford to ignore.
Case Study:
Layron fashion brand, a mid-sized online clothing brand, had been operating in the competitive fashion industry for a few years. While they had a loyal customer base and a solid product offering, their social media presence was underwhelming. They had struggled to increase engagement, drive sales through social channels, and really connect with their audience on a deeper level.
However, as they entered 2025, the team at Layron decided to rethink their social media strategy and tap into the latest trends to boost visibility and sales. They focused on adapting to the evolving landscape of social media by incorporating short-form video, social commerce, user-generated content (UGC), and micro-influencers into their strategy.
By adapting some trends, they witnessed 15% increase in engagement and 5% increase in sales within the 28 days.
