Have you ever thought of using Instagram, Facebook or Youtube for your business? You might be thinking of social media marketing, which works by posting or sharing ads, but there is another effective way to do it! That is through influencer marketing.
Whenever we go online, we are faced with trending posts or videos by someone popular or famous. Many times, we follow their accounts because we want to be updated with what they are posting. Sometimes, we see them using or promoting a product. Does that interest your business, too?
Here at Digital Marketers, we will help you use influencer marketing to make your brand, product or service known to your target customers. We won’t post or share ads on social media sites, but we will find you influencers who can show your business to their thousands or millions of followers.
We effectively help you create a plan that will boost your online social presence, working with influencers to help you grow your brand.
What is Influencer Marketing
Influencer marketing or influence marketing is one of the digital marketing channels that focus on influential people rather than the target audience as a whole on social media.
In this marketing strategy, individuals who create high-impact conversations over potential customers are asked to promote brand, product or service of a business. It takes the old idea of celebrity endorsement and puts it in a modern-day content-driven marketing campaign. Businesses and influencers collaborate to positive results over an ad campaign.
In general, influencer marketing is about marketing to influencers rather than directly to target customers, which other digital marketing channels do.
Why Influencer Marketing?
Influencer marketing is one of this time’s most popular marketing strategies. Every day, we see posts of famous people circulating on Instagram, Facebook, or other social media platforms. Many of their followers watch out for their videos very often, and this is where business comes in. Companies take advantage of this advertising tool because of the impact it makes among the target audience.
One survey reports that 70% of teenage Youtube subscribers trust influencer opinions over traditional celebrities. This indeed supports another report where it states that 71% of consumers are more likely to purchase based on a social media reference. This is how influencers impact potential customers on buying the products they endorse.
If your business aims to prosper in a short period of time, then you should consider influencer marketing. As more consumers rely on influencers to decide on their purchases, this should be seen as an excellent opportunity to bring about more sales through this platform. On average, businesses can generate $6.50 for every $1 they invest in influencer marketing.
With the Philippines having the most number of active social media users in the world, your business will truly succeed using this effective digital marketing strategy. It is the reason why influencer marketing is the trend in terms of advertising in the Philippines.

Macro-influencers include professional bloggers and YouTubers who have 50,000 to 500,000 followers and drive 5% to 20% engagement per post. Lastly, micro-influencers are everyday consumers who have 1,000 to 100,000 followers but can drive 25% to 50% engagement per post. Which one do you prefer?
That depends on your budget and the influencer whom you want to make an impact on your business. There are two options in finding an influencer.
