Marketing started taking some real shape centuries ago as a vantage point for the science of business and the art of communication. The earliest traces are to be found in the word of mouth publicity within a local community. Since then, centuries have gone by as a witness to the evolution of marketing. Among the prime agents that scripted the giant leaps forward for marketing, technology stands out more prominently over all others. The world wide web revolution is considered to be the most impactful as it helped marketers push the horizon beyond infinity.
However, digital marketing seems to be getting cluttered. With millions of companies fighting for a space to get noticed and PPC rates going ever higher, it is getting quite problematic for marketers to get the desired ROI out of their digital marketing mix.
Are you one those many marketers, looking to reach out to millions of customers through the digital medium, but getting disappointed with the ROI of your paid and organic marketing strategies? It’s high time that you shifted gears to the ext best thing in marketing – influencer marketing.
What is Influencer Marketing?
If you arrive at the junction of the ancient word of mouth publicity and new age digital marketing, you are looking straight at influencer marketing. Simply put, influencer marketing is a craftily woven strategy of spreading the word about your brand and products through the most trusted people within your industry. Instead of trying to reach out to a vast set of customers yourself, influencer marketing helps you target a tiny group of influential people relevant to your industry and spread the word out through them.
Influencers are the modern age internet celebrities of niche categories. Influencer marketing helps you get these celebs endorse your brands and products online. Through their huge number of fan following on social media (like blogs, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook page), you end up reaching out to a lot more relevant people than what traditional marketing could have let you to. On top of that, influencer marketing comes with the trust factor that these influencers enjoy. It is about providing product context and expertise through an inspirational person.
Why Influencer Marketing over other modes?
Because what you will get is:
Targeted exposure to the right kind of consumers who are already interested and will pay attention.
Getting 3X ROI.
Building a trust factor of your own.
