Implementing Influencer Marketing Into Your Strategy

Today, consumers no longer look to billboards on the road or television commercials for purchase recommendations. I mean, they still look at them, but the effectiveness of being beaten over the head with “BUY THIS RIGHT NOW” messaging has lost its luster. Now, instead of billboards, consumers are looking to people that they identify with and trust: They’re looking at the social influencer. Enter, Influencer Marketing.

Who are social influencers?

You’ve seen social influencers peppered across your social channels:

• They have thousands and thousands of followers.

• Their pictures are (usually) flawless.

• Their last name is Kardashian. (Kidding, but not in some cases.)

• Every photo gets a thousand likes at least….

• They are literally tiny empires that can make and break businesses.

It’s like Jay-Z said: “I’m not a businessman. I’m a business, man.”
