Influencer Marketing | How fashion and personal care brands are building themselves

As I happened to work on Influencer Marketing Campaign for a fashion brand I would like to narrate you how and why in today's digital era, where social media has the power to make and break a brand. 

In the dawn of digital Marketing there is another sub group called Influencer marketing has emerged as one of the most impactful strategies for reaching consumers on a personal level. 

Let me simplify it for you; 

What Is Influencer Marketing?

Influencer marketing involves collaborating with individuals who have a good number of followers on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube or other platforms. These influencers have built trust with their audience by consistently sharing authentic, relatable content. When influencer talks about a brand’s products, their audience is more likely to engage with and purchase from that brand because of the trust they have in the influencers. 

The Power of Personal Connection

Unlike traditional advertising methods, influencer marketing creates a direct line to consumers through the influencer's authentic connection with their followers. Whether through styling videos, product hauls, or "Get Ready with Me" content, influencers showcase fashion items in a relatable manner. They often share personal stories or reasons for loving a product, which resonates more deeply with consumers than scripted ads.

For fashion brands, the ability to show their products in real-life scenarios through influencers is priceless. An influencer can display how a piece fits, its versatility, and how it matches different aesthetics—all while creating aspirational content. This kind of organic advertising is less intrusive and often more engaging and people are not that retractive to that advertisement. 

Now the types of Influencers; 

Micro vs. Macro Influencers

One of the key ways fashion brands are building on influencer marketing is by using a tiered approach that involves both micro and macro influencers.

Macro-influencers: are celebrities or social media personalities with hundreds of thousands to millions of followers. Partnering with them gives fashion brands wide exposure and credibility. However, their endorsement often feels less personal due to the larger, more diverse audience.

Micro-influencers: on the other hand, have a smaller but highly engaged following (typically between 10,000 to 100,000). Their niche audience often views them as more approachable and authentic, and brands often see higher engagement rates when working with them. Fashion brands are increasingly recognizing the power of micro-influencers to drive sales, especially when promoting to specific demographics or interests.

There is also another type called Nano Influencer; who are typically Influencers with 1k to 10k followers which are very niche and the brands like to target them. 

So, while macro helps brand build brand awareness 

Micro bring in to target group and gives something to discuss about the 

Nano gives reason to buy to the niche audience. 

And the fashion brands are using it extensively to conquer and win over the consumer. 

With available data the funnel of choosing the right influencer for the target audience has also become very feasiable and brands are leveraging that to build the personal connect.
