Along with the influx of New Year's resolutions as we ring in 2016 come the social media predictions. But before your business finalizes your 2016 strategy, check out the newest trends. This year, you'll give your audience exactly what they want.

Plus, by taking hold of the New Year's social trends, your business gets to test out marketing tactics before your competition.

Without further ado, welcome in the top five biggest social media trends of 2016.

1. Social embraces the buy button.

Introduced in late 2014, the buy button will finally have its day.

Both Facebook and Pinterest already have buy buttons on their ads, which allow users to purchase the featured product in one click. A brand's dream indeed.

The buy button streamlines the social buying process, eliminating many steps. The easier it is for users to buy, the more likely it is they'll complete the sale.

This feature will roll out to more platforms this year as its success soars. Test out the social buy button as soon as you can to see your social ROI grow quickly.

2. Cheers to the year of interactive social ads.

You've probably noticed the organic reach of your Facebook posts is in freefall. Many brands find it nearly impossible to get their message out without sponsored posts.

This year, that trend will expand to other social networks.

Last year, Instagram had the highest organic reach of any social platform. That won't last for long. Owned by Facebook, Instagram introduced ads in late 2015. Experts predict Instagram will bring in a hefty $1.2 billion in ad revenue in 2016.

Soon, you'll need ads to get your message out on many social networks. When your business tests out new social ads, incorporate videos and images, which users find 50 percent more engaging than text-only posts.

3. Users retaliate with ad blockers.

With the growth of social and digital ads, users want out. Right now, AdBlock — which blocks all website ads is Google Chrome's highest downloaded extension.

In 2015, the number of consumers worldwide using ad-blocking software grew 41 percent from 2014. All that ad blocking cost publishers more than $21.8 billion in lost revenue. In 2016, lost revenue from ad blockers is predicted to rise to $41.4 billion.

Previously, ad blockers were limited to desktops. Now, AdBlock is on iOS. With 38 percent of Web browsing done on mobile devices, users will be affecting ad revenue and performance even more.

4. Visuals come alive.

In 2016, live streaming won't be the new, innovative way to reach your audience. It will become your audience's preferred medium.

Live broadcasts will become even better and more realistic. 360-degree videos and affordable virtual reality devices allow users to experience the action firsthand.

5. Social no longer links to the news. It is the news.

With the introduction of Facebook's Instant Articles, publishers can broadcast interactive content directly on the platform. That's right no external links required. Users will be able to read the full story right where it was published, on Facebook.

Just like with the social buy button, this new feature ensures users never have to leave the platform. Social networks want to be the go-to network for everything.
