Today, the average consumer makes their buying decision based on self-research and a higher understanding of true value. This same customer also invests their trust and attention in following influential individuals on social media, because everything they do, say, and believe is more relatable and inspiring.

And so, we have the rise of influencer marketing. It has become a powerful strategy for brands to connect the buying behavior of customers with the power of influence that some individuals hold. In this blog, we will discover the power of this new-age marketing tool, which has gone from being a “good to have” to being a “must have” for every ambitious brand.

The Rise of Influencer Marketing:

It is no surprise that influencer marketing has become the cornerstone of modern advertising thanks to its ability to cut through the clutter and noise. It helps establish a genuine connection with consumers. Brands can collaborate with social media influencers to tap into their loyal following and benefit from the trust they have built with their audience. After all, audiences trust individuals more than corporations. Influence has become an invaluable social currency in the world of marketing because it can sway consumer decision-making and help brands build the perceptions they want to create. Even branded content created by influencers appears to be authentic and believable when compared to high-profile advertisements with celebrity brand ambassadors.

The Role of Influencer Agencies in Dubai:

Dubai is a hotbed for influencer marketing. The average lifestyle of individuals is at a higher level than most other cities in the world and the city is studded with different things to do and places to be. But with this comes the challenge of identifying the right influencer for your brand. Influencers must match the personality of the brands they represent.

Measuring Success in Influencer Marketing:

To gauge the effectiveness of influencer marketing campaigns, it is essential to establish clear parameters for success. Here are some key metrics to consider:

Reach and Engagement:

Understand the potential of gaining more reach and/or engagement when you pick a specific influencer. Next, focus on these parameters in the influencer-generated content that is created for your brand. It will give you valuable insights into the campaign's visibility and effectiveness in capturing the audience's attention.

Conversions and Sales:

If your influencer marketing strategy is aimed at getting conversions and sales, then measuring actions like clicks, comments, mentions, and redirects that demonstrate an intent to buy need to be recorded in your influencer content.

Brand Sentiment and Awareness:

Measure the sentiment people have about the brand. Are they responding to your brand-related influencer content positively, or negatively, or are simply neutral through their reactions?

Influencer-Brand Fit:

Evaluate the influencer’s alignment with your brand, its values, and its products.

An example of successful Influencer Marketing:

Del Monte Arabia wanted to raise awareness and drive a purchase intent towards their Honeyglow Pineapples. Our social media agency, LPS Brands, worked with popular MENA-based digital influencers to create specialized content on Instagram Stories to build brand awareness about the product. The campaign generated over 600k organic views and inspired users to create up to 80 original pieces of content.

In closing…:

Influencer marketing is a dynamic and effective method to build connections with your customers that are authentic and real. As long as you keep your content measurable and relevant, this timeless strategy will keep on giving.
