Micro-Influencers and Engagement Rate

A micro-influencer is typically a social media influencer who has between 10k to 50k followers and a highly engaged audience. While their audience size is modest their influence is not! Some of the many benefits of using a micro-influencer’s endorsement are:

  • Cost-effective.
  • Authentic and personal.
  • Great to work with.
  • Access to niche audiences.
  • High engagement rate.

Engagement rate is a metric that measures the followers who are actually engaged with the content. The average engagement rate for a social media account with 100,000 followers is around 1%, which means that only 1,000 of those followers engage. Whereas a micro-influencer’s page with 10,000 tends to have an engagement rate of around 5%, amounting to 500 engaged followers. The cost difference between collaborating with an influencer with 100k or 10k is outrageous considering you’re only reaching 500 more people.

Importance of content-driven campaigns

Influencer marketing, a modern marketing tool that adopts the concept of celebrity endorsement in order to create content-driven marketing campaigns. Unlike traditional advertisements, influencer marketing has a higher conversion rate as people trust the influencer’s judgment and are more likely to accept a product or brand through their positive feedback. However, it is key to pick the right influencer to endorse your product. Not only does their brand image have to match your own but you have to ensure that their followers would be interested in your product or services.

Using Influencer marketing is a great method in order to grow your business in 2020! Not only will it drive viewers to your social media accounts but these viewers are of the highest quality, most likely to engage with your account and purchase your products or services. Regardless of your budget, at Brain Space we will find the perfect influencers to endorse your business.

Best of Luck,
