What is an influencer, and why is influencer marketing effective?
Along with the rise of the social media marketing phenomenon came the birth of the social media influencer. Much like celebrities, influencers hold power and 'influence' over their followers online.
Many influencers were born after the initial rise of the social media phenomenon - and they've now taken over the social media game.
Influencers have the power to influence purchasing decisions because of their authority and online clout, built by gaining followers and/or engagement.
How can a social media influencer help me and my brand?
Because of their ability to influence purchase decisions, relevant influencers are a really effective way of building up brand awareness and customer retention.
Also known as content creators and/or bloggers, social media influencers can have as few as 2,000 followers up to those which number in the millions.
As long as they have a high engagement rate and a dedicated target audience, they can be a powerful way to boost your business.
