Twitter and Instagram

using #socialmedia
#influencers
The right influencer can
reach your target
audience, build trust, and
drive engagement. They
create original, engaging
content. They won’t be
keen to follow a template
advertising style provided
by your brand.
So, it’s critical to work only
with social media
influencers whose vision
aligns with your own.
influencersIn the US, people who
have bought something
based on influencer
recommendation:
• FB: 25%
• Twitter: 29%
• Instagram: 34 %
Three Types of Social Media
Influencers:
• General Influencer: 1m+, celebs:
most $$
• Industry Influencer: chefs, sports
figures and beauty gurus> less $$
but still costly
• Micro-Influencer: well known in
niche categories, considered
experts to be extremely trusted
and tend to have the most genuine
engagement with their followers.
influencersIMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
• Know your audience
• Know their interests
• Your influencer budget
• Likes / follows: does not matter so
much
• Engagement more important
• The key is trust.
• Values in line with yours.
• Consistency is key.
• Be careful of overexposure:
sponsorship saturation
• Relevance
• Reach
