The good news? 

These changes will not affect your Taggbox account and Twitter channel connections. They will continue to work as usual. 

Also, we have had a strong standing enterprise relationship with Twitter for over five years and are working with Twitter professionals to come to terms with these recent changes. 

Keep a close eye on this blog for future updates – some might be in our favor too!  

New Developments?

Twitter will stop allowing unrestricted use of both its v1.1 and v2 APIs.

Instead, a paid basic tier will be made available. The most potent data sets in the world are those from Twitter. Hundreds of millions of users have sent almost a trillion tweets throughout the years, and billions more are sent every week.

Elon Musk stated on Friday that paying “only about $100 per month for API access with ID verification” will effectively prevent bot scammers and opinion manipulators.

How Will It Affect Taggbox Users?

Before this change, users were able to fetch multiple tweets from their accounts and create a Twitter feed. However, due to these changes, there are certain restrictions:

• Our DS Free plan , Widget Startup, and subscribers can no longer fetch Tweets.  
• Any users creating Twitter feeds from scratch can fetch only ten tweets from historical data using any connection type such as hashtag, mention, Twitter list, etc.
• The maximum limit for tweets that can be aggregated is upto 5000 depending upon the Paid plan
• Real-time updates will also stop from now onwards for free trial users.

Impact on your Business 

Since many developers use Twitter API to communicate with each other, moderate conversations for health & safety, enable personal expression, measure & analyze what’s happening, etc. 

All automated accounts and tweets will be stopped, and these developers will be entitled to pay a small amount for continuing their projects. 

Twitter has always had a questionable but benign relationship with developers; however, many developers will either close their projects or ask the clients to bear the price after these changes. 

API access opens many opportunities for using a platform like Twitter. With free API access, your business will be able to work on Twitter like before. 

However, with some adjustments in your budget, you can buy Twitter API Access and work as usual.

Oxfam is a charitable organization with its unique initiative ‘Second-Hand Style’ for charity. This year, the organization made an appearance at the renowned fashion saga – London Fashion Week and decided to donate its profits from the fashion event to the relief fundraiser for Turkey and Syria amidst the disastrous earthquakes. 

The organization reached out to Taggbox to help them create a compelling Social Wall from the event’s hashtags #FashionFightingPoverty23 & #FoundInOxfam to make their event more engaging and to raise awareness about the ongoing Turkey-Syria earthquake disaster and the organization’s appeal to donate to the fundraiser. 

Oxfam’s Charitable Initiative “Second-Hand Style”: Know More! 

Oxfam is a charitable organization focussing on eradicating global poverty. It was founded in 1942 and has been working tirelessly to alleviate poverty through various noble means. 

One of the greatest initiatives by Oxfam is ‘Second-Hand Style’ for charity. The initiative first started 75 years ago and has been active since. 

This initiative has been a part of the organization’s trail of noble initiatives. With “Second-Hand Style” or “Second-Hand-Fashion” the organization is continually working to promote sustainable buying practices and generating donations to eradicate poverty.

Revealing The Client’s Vision

The organization’s motive was to boost engagement throughout the event and create awareness among the audience about their charitable initiative, they also wanted to boost audience involvement by promoting their event’s designated hashtags #FashionFightingPoverty23 & #FoundInOxfam.

“We were looking for a platform that offered both, social aggregation and a studio for non-social media content as well as a feature to display the content in an organized and attractive manner.”

Tim Gibson Head of Social Media, Oxfam

Moreover, the organization wanted to use content collected from the hashtags and display it compellingly on digital screens during the fashion event. Additionally, they also wanted a way to upload content without the use of social media.

Making The Expectations Come True 

Oxfam used Taggbox to create a live social wall of the event’s hashtag content, displayed it on digital screens during the event, and successfully raised awareness about their appeal to contribute to the Turkey and Syria earthquakes. 

In our client’s words:

“Taggbox enabled us to run a live interactive feed at our fashion show at London Fashion Week that focussed on second-hand fashion and to raise awareness of our Turkey & Syria Earthquake Appeal”

Tim Gibson Head of Social Media, Oxfam

With Taggbox’s user-friendly features, the organization was able to achieve its motive to display audiences’ content on big screens and clearly express their initiative “Second-Hand Style” as a charitable cause to generate donations from their achieved profits as well as collect external donations.

The organization ticked all its checkboxes of requirements such as:

• Having a studio for non-social media content.
• Creating a well-curated social wall with the flexibility to moderate the content.
• Customization feature to design the wall as per the company’s branding.

This can help create a more professional and cohesive look for any event.

Oxfam did the same. They created an immersive feed with various branding characteristics, such as the brand’s logo, and non-social media posts and applied the content moderation feature to its best use. Throughout the event, the brand experienced a boost in the number of content on the event’s hashtags. 

Let’s hear more from the client:

“Our experience with Taggbox was excellent. We faced no challenges and were able to create a social wall with ease, without any technical difficulties. We highly recommend the tool and would use it for more fundraising events in the future.”

The metaverse hype cannot be overlooked – it is all over the place. Estimates are that it will reach a value of $800M by 2024. 

The Metaverse can be defined as a network of 3-D virtual worlds where people can interact, carry out business, and build connections through their ‘avatars’. Think of it as a successor of today’s internet, but in virtual reality. 

Technology titans and gaming giants like – Meta(Facebook), Microsoft, Epic Games, and Roblox are, to name a few that are creating their virtual world.

While still nascent, conducting events in the Metaverse is picking up. Brands across industries are digging to explore their possibilities in the AR, VR, and AI-enabled environment. In a survey of 1000 respondents, 48% said they would join the Metaverse for art and live entertainment, while 44% would participate for bitcoin and NFTs.  

With this in mind, let’s find out more. 

Types Of Metaverse Events In 2024

“I believe the metaverse is the next chapter for the internet,” said Mark Zuckerberg, and digging into the exponential potential of this world, event planners are already placing their bets on it. 

Metaverse gatherings leverage the power of VR to create engaging, social, and inclusive events, which easily attract high-paying sponsors, attendee registration, and ROI. 

Metaverse Concerts/Entertainment Events 

Concerts are immersive. On the Metaverse, participants can create their avatars and get a sense of being present in the venue for real. And like in any live concert, they can interact with each other- groove, laugh, and sing along. 

Organizers can also add an AI chatbot for website as a guide or assistant to guide, greet or interact with the attendees alongside fun and engaging 3D objects that enhance the feeling of shared experiences. To make the chatbot assistants more engaging and personalized, organizers can train ChatGPT on custom data, allowing it to better understand and interact with attendees.

Also, allowing the attendees to move around freely, building connections with others.

Be it musicals, stand-up comedy gigs, open mics, or any workshop, the Metaverse is well-equipped to enhance ticket sales and attendees’ experiences. 

Marshmello’s in-game concert in Fortnite was virtually attended by 10 million people, making it the game’s most significant event ever. 

Pro Tip:

Create an event exclusive hashtag, aggregate all the content created by attendees and fans using the hashtag, and showcase it in real-time on a social wall. 

It inspires people attending the event to create more content, accentuating the overall engagement.

Metaverse Gaming Events 

Although video games have been engaging audiences for decades altogether, significant advancements have been made in preparations for the Metaverse, catering to the 3.2 billion video gamers worldwide. Being a lifelike world, audiences can create their virtual avatars and curate setup within the Metaverse, allowing them to have a presence similar to what they have in reality but with greater flexibility.

Instead of simply streaming games or watching someone play, imagine being able to join the game and interact with gamers on an equal footing. While on the organizer’s front, metaverse gaming events unleash incredible earning opportunities. 

 Roblox players spent $652 million on the site’s virtual currency.

Bring all the gaming drama on the social wall to boost the audience’s engagement further. Add additional elements like a countdown, clock, and leader scorecards and capitalize on the gamers’ spirits. 

Metaverse Trade Shows 

Connect your exhibitors with buyers worldwide in an immersive metaverse trade show. You can reach out to audiences on any device, attract their attention, drive lead generation, and build the sales pipeline stages. 

Be it food, car, property, technology, or any other trade show, organizers can – 

• create stunning 3D designs
• Using 3D modeling software
• customize and make virtual booths branded
• enable live chat tools to boost networking
• embed an online shop to drive conversions
• add gamification like trivia, scavenger hunts, etc., to keep the attendees hooked 
• Stream live video in 3D 
• Presell 3D floor plans

The best part about conducting a trade show in the Metaverse is co-presence. Attendees create their virtual avatars and create networking opportunities with others. Research suggests this instils a sense of inclusion and a user’s feeling of co-presence. 

Pro Tip:

Exhibitors can take the audience engagement to another level and gather exponential reach with trade show social walls. 

Platforms like Taggbox Display allow brands to feature various content on the social wall – ranging from branded content, videos, HTML code, QR codes, and sponsors’ content. A mix of content evokes emotions and skyrockets the ROI of the event. 

Metaverse Graduation Ceremonies 

Host an unforgettable virtual graduation ceremony that allows your constituents to interact, network, and celebrate together without getting fatigued. 

Platforms like MootUp access lifelike avatars for users to communicate 1:1 via video conferencing, chat, and video calls, unlocking an immersive experience for the students, teachers, and parents attending the graduation ceremony. 

Further, Metaverse being social facilitates “watercooler moments” where attendees can take five with others and get informal as they’d in a real scenario. This creates a celebratory environment and lets everyone enjoy their big day. 

Here, deploying a social wall can add to the ‘moment in a lifetime’ of the students, as you can capture all the content created by the constituents and embed it on your website later. Any better way to recognize your graduates? We bet not!

Metaverse Award Functions

Organizing award functions in the Metaverse is undeniable one of its best use cases. Primarily because of the scalability that it provides. Event organizers need not have to book large spaces to accommodate the guest list. They need a 3D model where all the glitz and glamour can suffice. 

Attendees can create their avatars, chat with others, take pictures leveraging photo booths, and move freely, building connections. 

Organizers can enable live Q&A and chat sessions, platform integrations, and polls to maximize audience engagement and attention. 

Pro Tip: 

Social walls for award ceremonies are one of the most engaging tools in the Metaverse. The attendees will create content using the exclusive award hashtag, which can be showcased on the social wall alongside the nominations and sponsors’ content. 

Further, you can also share snippets of categories, memes, etc., to escalate audience engagement and create a real-life event. 

Metaverse Job Fairs 

Conducting job fairs in the Metaverse is the perfect way to find and recruit ideal candidates for your job openings. 

Employers can access a larger candidate pool, screen the top ones and engage with them. Corporations can also provide training, leveraging the interactive powers that a 3D environment unlocks. 

Set up a customizable exhibit booth where you can share job boards with current vacancies per your company’s specific location such as jobs in Houston, New York, Australia, Asia or other parts of the world all in one place. You can also upload company profiles and videos, interact privately, and include fun elements and/ or interactive 3D objects.

A 2020 study found that representing workers with an avatar on a leaderboard escalated helping behaviors and increased motivation among workers that had previously not been seen.

Metaverse Product Launch 

The product launch anticipation is for real. Brands can capitalize on it in the Metaverse because, with innovation and creativity, the sky’s the limit. 

Inside Roblox’s virtual world, a digital-only Gucci bag sold for $4,100, which is more than the bag’s value in the real world, 

Businesses can showcase live or pre-recorded demos of your product, upload walkthroughs, tutorials, and testimonials, and let your attendees place orders directly on the website. 

Pro Tip:

Apart from featuring what your attendees share on their social profiles, you can include features of your latest addition, what people in superior official order are sharing, celebrity posts, and visuals of products. 

This can seamlessly entice the audiences’ attention and cash on the metaverse boom.

A Continuous Flow Of Audience Engagement

This integration between Snapbar and Taggbox Display allows virtual event organizers to give their audience unique and user-friendly ways to share content around the virtual event.

Now that you are aware of the platforms individually, here’s why you need to use these platforms together to bring a change! 

Level Up Your Marketing Game By Displaying User-Generated Content 

You must have heard the phrase ‘Content is king’ a million times, but the type of content you put on display to attract your audience is the real game-changer.  

Those days are long gone when prospective customers were lured by reading promotional content. Instead, it is the era of ‘seeing is believing, and this is why you need to change the focus on your customers’ valuable content. 

The existing customers of a brand frequently post unsponsored and unpaid content on their social media handles in pictures, videos, or reviews. Displaying their content on digital signage can catch your potential customer’s attention and urge them to purchase. More than 86% of companies today are leveraging user-generated content in their marketing strategy. Are you one of them? 

Amplify Your Engagement & Drive In More Sales 

Perhaps the most important and biggest challenge most businesses face in this cutthroat competition is generating user engagement and more sales.

Even though one cannot achieve sales with a bat of an eyelid, you can convert your potential customers into existing ones by influencing purchase-related decisions. 

When you aggregate content from visual-based platforms and display it on digital signage such as an Instagram wall or Pinterest wall, you show the use case of your products or services. 

Displaying informational content for your audience will intrigue them to know more about your brand, which may motivate them to purchase your product. 

Showcase Your Brand’s Credibility 

Customers are much wiser in today’s shopping scenario and prefer purchasing from credible brands. The logic here is simple. The more your brand’s credibility, the better your relationship with your customers. 

You can win the faith of your customers by combining social wall with digital signage. You can target your customers with a more humanized approach when you display a social wall. Once your potential customers see you in a different light and as relatable, they will be compelled to confide in your brand.  

Just like trust is the basis of any relationship, you will be able to convert your existing customers into loyal brand ambassadors.

Major Instagram Updates To Look Out For In 2024!

Introducing Threads: A New Way to Share with Text

Instagram Threads is a new app introduced by Meta, the parent company of Facebook. It resembles Twitter, featuring a feed primarily composed of text-based posts, although users can share photos and videos. The platform enables real-time conversations among users, fostering engagement and interaction.

Messages posted on Threads are limited to 500 characters, aligning with Twitter’s concise format. Users can engage with posts by replying, reposting, and quoting others, mirroring the functionality found on Twitter. 

However, Instagram Threads incorporates the familiar aesthetic and navigation system of Instagram, creating a seamless user experience. Users can seamlessly share their Threads posts directly to Instagram Stories, bridging the gap between the two platforms.

Thread accounts on Instagram Threads can be designated as either public or private, giving users control over the visibility of their content. Additionally, verified Instagram accounts automatically receive verification on Threads, ensuring credibility and authenticity.

Introducing Broadcast Channels, a New Way for Creators to Deepen Connections with Followers

In contrast to other means of communication with your audience, such as mass email marketing or even ads, this messaging tool that lets creators talk to many followers simultaneously in a more personal way. They share updates, show behind-the-scenes, and even do polls for feedback.

This will help creators in many ways, such as increased engagement, maximized reach, and even building a better community. 

The good thing is that only creators can send messages, but followers can react and vote. To join a channel, followers can click on a link in Stories, the creator’s profile, or a one-time notification. 

The channels are public, but they have rules to follow, and if someone breaks them, they can be reported. So, as a creator, you can benefit significantly from this update!

Ads in Search Results:

Meta, the company behind Instagram, is testing a new feature that allows businesses to display ads in the search results on Instagram.

This means that when users actively search for something, such as a specific product or a particular topic, they may see sponsored ads related to their search.

For instance, if you search for “face cream,” you will notice two types of results, just as you get to see on search engines. You will see all the organic posts, and in addition to that, you will notice ads as well and these ads will be labeled with a “Sponsored” tag beneath the account’s name for those who appreciate organic content.

These ads will appear in the Instagram feed that users can scroll through after tapping on a post from the search results. By introducing ads in search results, Meta aims to provide businesses with an additional avenue to reach potential customers actively seeking relevant information.

Once the testing phase is complete, Meta plans to launch these ads globally in the near future.

Reminder Ads:

Instagram is introducing a feature called Reminder Ads, designed to assist businesses in promoting and notifying people about upcoming events or product launches. This feature enables advertisers to create awareness and anticipation among users for these future events.

Users have the option to opt into receiving reminders for these events and will receive three notifications from Instagram.

• The first reminder will be sent one day before the event or launch,
• the second reminder 15 minutes before,
• and the final reminder will be sent at the event’s scheduled time.

This feature aims to make it easier for businesses to communicate important information and updates to their target audience. By sending timely notifications, businesses can increase users’ chances to attend or engage with their events or product launches.

Reminder Ads are now available to all advertisers and can be utilized within the feed, providing businesses with an effective tool to build excitement and generate interest among Instagram users.

Now Scheduled Posts on Instagram

Instagram is very popular among users, with over 1 billion users actively using it daily. If you construct an engaging Instagram bio, the potential to amass a larger follower base from the vast user database significantly increases. However, no matter how fun Instagram is to use, posting manually on Instagram is a time-consuming task, especially if you post multiple times a day. 

Keeping this in mind, Instagram launched the “Scheduled Posts” feature! This feature allows you to schedule your content beforehand, saving you time and keeping the profile active. You can schedule a picture, video, carousel, or reel for up to 75 days in advance in the Instagram app.

Here is how:

• Open Advanced settings and then “Schedule this post” to schedule content from the Instagram post composer.
• Tap schedule after you’ve chosen the time and date for the content to go live.
• That’s it, and your content is now ready for publication.

One way to benefit from Instagram scheduling posts is to publish more frequently during peak engagement periods. Determine when your audience is most active and publish content during those times on a regular basis. And once you know the active time of your audience, you can schedule your posts accordingly or you can use an Instagram scheduler.

Note: user needs to have a business account to have access to this option.

A Brand New Way To Collaborate

Instagram Web Version

Instagram’s web interface has been updated to make the platform more engaging and visually appealing to users. Although the company’s CEO, Adam Mosseri, previously stated that the Instagram platform will be updated for large-screen devices in 2022.

It has also been stated that iPad users will have a better visual experience when using the Chrome browser. However, the new interface has begun to roll out to users around the world and is currently available to random users in limited regions.

Notably, the new layout of the panel will also include new icons and text, all of which have been designed to make it easier to use and understand the platform’s exact functionalities. The story panel is still on the top row, as it was previously on the platform.

It is important to note that the new interface differs from the app’s UI, and users can access a variety of editing tools and even post stories from the web version. Although my desktop version is currently inaccessible due to information and mass distribution, it is expected to update and work soon.

Meta Announces Paid Verification

To improve the social media app’s security and authenticity, Meta announced the paid version of the blue tick. Any high-profile account will be required to pay $11.99 (for the web) and $14.99 (for iPhone). 

Conclusion

Instagram has continuously updated its platform to provide a holistic social media and marketplace experience for users with maximized security & privacy. 

Brands have also received platform updates to create better campaigns for enhanced customer engagement and drive conversions with shoppable posts.
