Messaging Stickers & Where Internet Marketing Can Come In

By Rob Sutter


TechCrunch recently caught my attention because of an article that was written regarding Facebook's private messaging systems. Basically, there would be a slew of stickers that would be added in order to give messages a bit more flare. I think that, on the surface, they could be charming but how many people would utilize them in the future? It's hard to say at such an early point but I'd like to think that Internet marketing experts could lend their opinions as far as this subject goes.

Keep in mind that such stickers are not exactly new in the online world. Yahoo! Messenger has had them for quite a few years now and many of them were audible, issuing small, playful narratives the receiver could listen to. It seems like Facebook's stickers are going to be the same to some extent but there is more to the story. While it seems like a number of these packs are going to be free, you have to consider the key term here: a number.

Facebook is known for many things but its ability to be utilized for free most definitely stands out above the rest. It's clear that this site has proven itself to be accessible and this has played into the success it has attained over the course of time. I can't help but notice that payments are starting to make their way into other features; those who are utterly invested in Candy Crush Saga, for example, probably threw away money in order to get more turns. Will these stickers follow a similar pattern?

You may be curious as to what kind of audience is going to be attracted by these digital stickers. You can make the argument that children and parents are going to be most drawn to them, especially when you consider the fact that these items are perhaps some of the most child-friendly that you can come across. I'm sure that those who work in Internet marketing will be able to make conclusions of their own. Regardless of what said conclusions entail, I think that the story will become more intriguing as it progresses.

I think that the enticing nature of web stickers to a particular audience will not be argued against. However, to say that everyone else will be able to take to them in the same way is something that I have to balk on. After all, these items don't seem to be tailor made to everyone, which is what Internet marketing workers may tell you. However, I think that they can prove to be fun, at least for the sake of novelty, which is commendable in its own right.
