Team AdfluenceIt’s no secret that brands tend to intensify their marketing efforts during the festive season. After all, this is the time of the year when people reach out to those closest to them to exchange greetings, good wishes, and gifts. Brands that make an effort to be visible to their target audience can garner higher returns, not just in terms of brand awareness, engagement or audience interaction, but actual conversions. And a great way to achieve all that is by using influencer marketing. In particular, micro-influencers can drive impactful campaigns, help brands cover a wide range of audience segments in the digital marketing space and generate substantial revenue for your business.
Go Micro for Massive Impact
Individually, the followership of each micro-influencer may seem like just a drop in the ocean, but collectively they can be instrumental in creating an impact for your brand’s influencer marketing campaign. When you thoughtfully handpick a group of micro-influencers, the collective efforts yield higher results as compared to working with a celebrity or a macro-influencer. With their authentic content, they can help to build brand awareness and ensure constant visibility of your campaigns. When you adopt a micro-influencers based strategy for your brand’s influencer marketing campaigns, you can also maintain continuity of your campaign.

Go beyond the campaign
When done efficiently, your micro-influencer based festive campaign can garner high engagement and the chances of attaining the campaign goals are greater. Here, comes the importance of setting the objectives of your campaign. A study supports that about 62% of the consumers are still unsure about the brand, products or services they would prefer this festive season. However, the good news is 50% of the surveyed audience are expected to spend more this year. While it is evident that most brands will run their campaigns for sales conversions, should you limit the key performance indicators of your brand’s campaign to just that?
No. Instead you should have a far-sighted approach. Consider this, each micro-influencer will generate individual performance data across a varied range of parameters – reach, impressions, engagement, sentiment, and conversions. The multitude of data received from them will help you strategize upcoming campaigns, and fine-tune them over time. That’s not all. Multiple influencers mean a collection of high-quality influencer-generated content. As a brand, you will have a bank of content that you can repurpose for future use – embed them on emails, run digital ads, or repost on your brand’s social media feed. Repurposing IGC will help you emphasise your brand’s credibility and ensure a wider reach for your content.
