Influencer marketing: the power of this strategy

 

Throughout the past few years, influencer marketing has become extremely popular. This is because social commerce and social media advertising have grown exponentially. An influencer is someone with a specialised skill or knowledge having a large, loyal and passionate following. This audience might be on Facebook, Instagram or Tik Tok.

As such, if you are an e-commerce merchant, you must look for influencers within your niche who have a following that you can take advantage of. After finding someone appropriate, you must conduct an agreement with the influencer. The contract can be made according to the number of ‘stories’ uploaded and the number of feed posts. It can also be based on the number of sales made through their link.

However, there are certain features that must be considered so that you choose the right influencer for your brand. One significant factor is to check the level of engagement on his/her posts. For instance, check the number of likes, comments and shares. This is because someone might have a million followers but the engagement rate is low. Moreover, you must also look at the influencer’s audience and whether the followers are a good fit for your brand or product. Very often, e-commerce brands are encouraged to start with a low-budget promotion and to test the results.
