Influencer marketing is a type of social media marketing that uses endorsements and product mentions from influencers. These influencers typically have a dedicated social following and are viewed as experts within their niche. It serves as a form of “social proof” to your brand’s potential customers.
Most influencers won’t have millions of followers, but should be well acquainted with your industry. Taking the time to discover and foster relationships with these influencers only works to further authenticate your brand.
What to look for in an influencer:
Following – What is the influencer’s audience size?
Engagement – Are they active on all social media platforms that your brand also uses?
Content – Do they create engaging and quality content in a variety of ways? This could include giveaways, interviews, videos, photos, etc.
Support – Do they have a committed community? Do they have a trusted influence?
Here are some mistakes to avoid when implementing an influencer marketing campaign:
The influencer…
has no measurable goals
lacks valuable content
is using the same methods of communication and messaging
has minimal participation from end users
has no personal touch (less marketing lingo and more organic posts)
