Here are the few points that Shashank discussed with us on how influencer marketing can help in increasing your brand awareness:

  • Enhance trust and credibility: With the booming culture of social networking platforms, around 76% of internet users trust user-generated content rather than the brand itself. This helps in long-term relationships of a brand with the influencers but also in getting endorsements from more reliable sources and delivers more favorable brand salience.

  • Drive Purchasing decisions: Nowadays, people follow and trust the influencers rather than the traditional media for their purchasing decisions, resulting in positive reception to brands.

Shashank told us that almost 49% of users have made purchases based on the referrals of influencers. As with them, users can relate to them on a personal level; which makes their buying decision convenient and increases awareness of the brand.

  • Increase Sales: The majority of the women use social media to get reviews on the product and half of them make buying decisions based on the influencers’ posts.

And it is not only about women, but more and more people are now considering social media as the primary source which helps brands in increasing their sales and generating revenue.

  • Creating Engaging Content: Unlike with brands, the target audience can deeply resonate with the influencers. It is because the influencers create engaging content where they include the details of the product, pricing details, and what you can expect from it after using it in person. Hence, building a loyal customer base and defined segment for the brand.
