Social Networks have been another great discovery, a tremendous advance for both customers and brands, becoming a platform for both of them to get what they are looking for.
And, with Social Networks, a great marketing tool has appeared: the influencers. This may all be new and you don't know exactly what it is, what are the benefits of influencers or their disadvantages. So, from Cerdá, we want to help you know everything and, thus, you can decide whether to introduce them in your own marketing strategy.
The first thing you should know is that an influencer is a person who, over time, has managed to gain the trust of his followers through social networks. This means that all your opinions will have a great weight in your community and that, in addition, it grows by leaps and bounds daily. But we are not only talking about adults, but today, there are also children's fashion influencers, who are really fascinating and that carry a lot of followers with them.
The advantages and disadvantages of influencers are many and varied, and depend on the strategy you want to achieve.
In the first place, it should be noted that they represent a great advantage for a product or service since, through its mention and dissemination through its social network channel, greater brand recognition is achieved. In addition, through the influencers figure, it is possible to reach a much higher, faithful and confident audience.
The main disadvantage that can be caused if the influencer who is going to represent the brand is not chosen well. That is, if we do not get him to commit himself properly, if he does not manage his role well or if he also begins to represent the competition.
It is likely that we find it difficult to understand what are the results that we are going to obtain by having the services of a child influencer, but in reality it is quite simple if the following points are taken into account:
Once we have valued all of the above, to know the return on investment that has brought us to have an influencer we will develop the following formula:
Number of users with engagement (that is, all likes plus all comments) divided by the total number of followers the influencer has, multiplied by 100. The result in% will be the total.
