How to Laser Target Your Marketing by Partnering with the Right Influencers
Which social media influencer you decide to work with plays a HUGE part in how your social media marketing campaign performs.
Because it is the social media influencer that is going to work as an extended arm for your brand to mediate your products to the customers, it is important that you choose influencers that are right for YOUR brand.
It’s understandable that brands can commit mistakes when picking influencers because it’s not an easy challenge. For example: brands can partner up with influencers that normally post fashion and ask them to market their protein powder.
If you know the importance of making your marketing campaigns targeted for your target audience, you know that by the sound of the example above, the suggested partnership is not completely laser targeted.
While fashion influencers may have people who are interested into fitness as their followers, the biggest part of their follower base will be people who are interested in fashion and therefore ONLY want to see fashion related content from the influencer.
The mistake of not choosing influencers that fits your business like a glove can be an expensive one.
Why would you choose to spend your marketing budget on things that naturally will generate worse results than if you would pick the influencers more carefully?
The answer is quite clear which is that you don’t actually want to spend your budget on things that generates worse results but the reality is that it just turns out that way.
Most often thanks to lack of knowledge.
Marketers are identifying finding suitable social media influencers to work with is one of the biggest challenges with influencer marketing and if you think about it, it’s not a surprising fact.
There are so many factors that brands and most importantly marketers need to take into consideration when picking their influencers. Some of the most important factors are : which platform there influencer is on (different social media platforms have different demographics), niche (obviously brands want to partner with influencers that are in the same niche as the brand), gender (if the brand is selling makeup and the influencer is a woman, the campaign will most likely not be very successful), followers amount more followers doesn’t necessarily mean a bigger reach. You have to take engagement into consideration as well).
First of all, only finding influencers is hard. Secondly, to find influencers that are ticking all of your criteria boxes is even more difficult. Sometimes even an impossible task for some.
Apart from the fact that finding influencers takes a ton of time and energy, it is also taking a lot of your focus and becoming a distraction to many marketers. While it is extremely important to choose THE RIGHT influencer that ticks all of the mentioned boxes above (and more), there are things that maybe are more important than searching and searching through social media in the hunt for suitable influencers.
This does not however mean that you should ignore the fact that choosing THE RIGHT influencer is extremely important for a successful social media influencer marketing campaign. More of the opposite.
It just means that you should try to find more efficient methods of doing so.
