Many people value their opinions and look to them for advice on products, trends, and where to shop. Here are four reasons your next marketing campaign should include influencers.<\/p>\n<h4>1. Millennials Trust Influencers More Than Celebrities Or Traditional Advertising<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-829\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Influencer-Marketing-For-Your-Brand.jpg\" alt=\"Influencer Marketing\" width=\"741\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Influencer-Marketing-For-Your-Brand.jpg 626w, https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Influencer-Marketing-For-Your-Brand-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 741px) 100vw, 741px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Statistics show that <a href=\"https:\/\/expandedramblings.com\/index.php\/millennial-statistics-for-marketers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener, nofollow\">millennials trust social media influencers<\/a> more than traditional forms of advertising, including celebrity endorsements. Banner ads and similar, traditional models of online advertising have proven largely ineffective.<\/p>\n<p>Although most users employ ad-blockers and anti-virus software, studies show that banner ads are ignored even when they can be seen. Social media influencers have a greater reach because they engage with their followers directly and know their audience.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Social Media And Online Usage Beats Traditional Media<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-686\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Social-Media-Reporting-Tools.jpg\" alt=\"Social Media Reporting Tools\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Social-Media-Reporting-Tools.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Social-Media-Reporting-Tools-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Social-Media-Reporting-Tools-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Social-Media-Reporting-Tools-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Social-Media-Reporting-Tools-810x540.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Social-Media-Reporting-Tools-1140x760.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As streaming media continues to eclipse cable subscriptions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.technologyreview.com\/f\/610045\/the-average-american-spends-24-hours-a-week-online\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">people are spending more time online<\/a> and using social media than they spend watching TV, listening to the radio, or going to movie theaters.<\/p>\n<p>Many periodicals have now ceased print editions and moved online, as well. Additionally, most people have made one or more purchases online within the last six months.<\/p>\n<p>Experts expect <a href=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/blog\/live-streaming-importance-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">the growth of streaming media<\/a> to continue. In fact, as a testament to the acceleration of &#8220;cord-cutting,&#8221; cable powerhouse, Viacom, recently purchased Pluto TV.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Build Brand Awareness<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-831\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Build-Brand-Awareness.jpg\" alt=\"Build Brand Awareness\" width=\"739\" height=\"494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Build-Brand-Awareness.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Build-Brand-Awareness-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 739px) 100vw, 739px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Everyone knows that word-of-mouth advertising is the best kind of advertising because people trust their friends and family members&#8217; opinions. Viral content is seen and shared by millions of people, including those who would otherwise never have seen that content had it not been shared with them.<\/p>\n<p>An influencer&#8217;s testimonial touches on both of these concepts due to their reach, opening up the exposure of your brand to a much larger audience than just their followers. If their followers like your product, they&#8217;re likely to share it with their own audiences.<\/p>\n<p>The mere mention of your brand by an influencer can set off a chain reaction across the web. While this may not result in direct conversions, it definitely <a href=\"https:\/\/intellifluence.com\/blog\/jeffrey-powers-influencer-spotlight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener, nofollow\">builds brand awareness and provides great SEO.<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>4. Expertly Targeted Content<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-761\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Email-Template-Marketing-Skills.jpeg\" alt=\"Email Template Marketing Skills\" width=\"3282\" height=\"2250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Email-Template-Marketing-Skills.jpeg 3282w, https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Email-Template-Marketing-Skills-300x206.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Email-Template-Marketing-Skills-768x527.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Email-Template-Marketing-Skills-1024x702.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Email-Template-Marketing-Skills-810x555.jpeg 810w, https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Email-Template-Marketing-Skills-1140x782.jpeg 1140w, https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Email-Template-Marketing-Skills-145x100.jpeg 145w, https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Email-Template-Marketing-Skills-380x260.jpeg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3282px) 100vw, 3282px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Influencers not only create content, but they are experts at doing so. They know their audience and their audience&#8217;s interests, so they know how to create targeted content their audience is going to respond to.<\/p>\n<p>This drives traffic to your site and provides your brand with a certain cachet traditional marketing cannot provide. All of this results in better conversions, making <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newszii.com\/marketing\/social-media-reporting-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">influencer marketing<\/a> a better return on investment than other forms of advertising.<\/p>\n<p>Millennials spend a lot of their time engaging with friends online and most trust influencers almost as much as they do their friends. Followers are more likely to respond to an influencer&#8217;s testimonial than a celebrity&#8217;s, and influencers know the best ways to effectively reach their audience.<\/p>\n<p>Marketing campaigns that include influencers build brand awareness, drive traffic to your site, and also improve your backlinks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Published on October 30th, 2019Social media influencers are regarded as trusted authorities in their fields.
