Whether you’re a startup or a company backed by decades of experience, you should be concerned about your brand image. Protecting and elevating your brand is essential to help your business stay relevant and attract new customers.
There are many ways to build and maintain a brand. A website, branding message, social media, and public relations campaigns are just a few.
Have you thought about using a social media marketing influencer?
You may know exactly what we mean when we refer to an influencer marketing expert, or you may have heard of it but don’t have all the information. If you think influencer marketing could help your brand gain visibility…it can!
It’s commonplace to engage your past, current, and future clients on social media. However, with this strategy alone, a brand’s reach is limited to its followers and shares.
Brands that want a wider audience hire individuals who’ve built a significant social reach. These are “social influencers”, who are individuals that introduce their audience to your brand, product, or service via a word-of-mouth feel.
There are several ways companies use influencer marketing. Social influencers may:
Social influencers accomplish the equivalent of talking about a new product across the fence with a neighbor or on the phone with a bestie. Only they do it with thousands, sometimes millions, of people.
An influencer marketing strategy accomplishes several goals for businesses and their brands.
Influencer marketing works well for:
As with other marketing campaigns, influencer marketing should have an impact on the bottom line, measured by overall conversions. Additionally, the success of an influencer campaign could be measured by site traffic or an expanded audience reach, as with an increase in followers.
Individuals who are considered to be marketing influencers fall into different segments, depending on their reach and number of followers.
These are the cream of the influencer crop who have cultivated more than a million followers. Mega-influencers are often celebrities and sports icons.
While they may not be subject-matter experts, one post from them reaches a huge audience.
These influencers are connected with between 100,000 and 1 million followers. Many macro influencers gained their notoriety through the internet, typically through creating video or written content.
Macro influencers usually appeal to a narrow type of demographic. For example, if you want to reach single women in their 30s, a macro-influencer is a great option.
With between 1,000 – 100,000 followers, this level of marketing influencer doesn’t have the broad appeal as the previous levels of influencer. They focus either on a specific niche or are considered to be a topic expert.
Their followers tend to be a uniform segment who are more engaged and more likely to take action on a post than those who follow mega- or macro-influencers. While their following may be small(ish), their authenticity is high. Their followers trust them, making them a strong and more cost-effective choice for a branding campaign for some companies.
These individuals have a small following, usually fewer than 1,000 followers. Popular members of the local community are part of this segment.
Local brands can enjoy great success with nano-influencers, as they offer immense influence within a narrow niche.
