WebChanakya's Process of Influencer Marketing

How Do We Run Influencer Marketing Campaigns?

Setting the KPIs

For an influencer marketing campaign to be successful, we identify specific metrics and KPIs that would be tracked over the course of the campaign. The two main metrics that we track are conversions and reach. These metrics are measured across various touchpoints throughout the campaign, such as the social media channels, email, website, and more. Our team also tracks how many people the campaign reached, and what kind of response was generated from every collaboration.

Identifying Target Audience

Our team helps you identify your target customers. An influencer marketing strategy typically involves three steps:

  1. Identifying your ideal audience through demographic analysis, social media research and behavioral analysis.
  2. Finding influential people within your audience.
  3. Developing relationships with those influencers. Once we have a set of influencers in place, we build a plan that aligns the right influencers with the right content to drive results.

Discovering Influencers

Finding the right influencer for an ecommerce brand doesn’t have to be a daunting process. Our team has access to a large network of influencers that can help promote your ecommerce business online. We thoroughly look into the influencer's existing followers, identify those specializing in e-commerce brands, and those who have genuine connection with their audience. 

Collaborating with the Influencers

Once we've have selected a few influencers to work with, it is time to plan our campaign. Our campaign planning would include what type of content should the collaborator be sharing with their audience and how will our brand be promoting the influencer content. We then contract with them and plan a date on which the influencer would be running the campaign.

Content Creation

The next step is creating the content that would be shared with the influencer's audience. This could be anything from an article or blog post to a video. It depends on the influencer and the type of content that their audience resonates to. Whatever the case, we make sure that the content created by us is aligned with the collaborator's message and style.

Campaign Execution

After the content is ready, we start executing the campaign by coordinating with the influencers. We monitor the performance of the collaborator's posts and adjust accordingly. We also keep track of the number of impressions, clicks, shares, likes, comments, etc. so that we know whether the collaborator's content resonated well with their audience. 

Results Analysis

After the campaign ends, we analyze the data collected during the execution of the campaign. Based on this information, we can determine if the influencer's content was effective in driving sales, traffic, leads, or other actions. We also take note of any negative feedback received by the influencer's audience and use this to improve future campaigns.

What kind of Influencers to Target?

Nano Influencers 

Nano Influencers are those with follower count of 1k-10k. Nano bloggers (also called nano-influencers) have the highest level of engagement at 8.8 percent. For the right brand/product, this type of creator is hyper-authentic and highly personal, which means the experience and content delivered will differ from others. They are also called niche influencer and majorly don't charge brands as they are building their followings and partnerships with brands.

Micro Influencers

Micro influencers are less popular (followers range from 10K to 50K), but they have a very engaged audience. They are considered to be effective than mega-influencers for brand building, engagement, and trust. That’s right. A micro influencer is a smaller subset of influencer that follow, which means they have a personal and exclusive relationship with their followers. They're more niche focused than other influencers and their fans often want them to work closely with their brands.

Macro Influencers

Influencers that are between 500K to 1 million in size, are not celebrity status, but are still a trusted group of content creators, are the mid-tier influencers. Collaborating with them, for brands is an ideal solution for reaching highly targeted consumers who are passionate about specific topics. They are the most in-demand right now are people who have proven that they are actually capable of reaching mass audience.

Celebrity Influencers

A mega influencer is extremely famous on social media because they have a lot of fans. These influencers are very active on social platforms where their audience spends time, and they generate a ton of engagement. Brands love to work with them because their huge audience allows for enormous reach. There are two primary reasons why they're extremely expensive—one's the content, and the other's the reach. Brands usually prefer them to be their brand ambassador.
