ENGAGE | EQUIP | EMPOWER
ENGAGE
Mix business with pleasure. The #1 motivation for influencers is money. Have a budget available.
Make sure you get to ‘’know’’ the influencer – read through their blog, look at their content. A
personal touch goes a long way.
EQUIP
Influencers can create content out of nothing – but you need to do better. Provide these influencers
with something unique – something exclusive. An experience they (as consumers) would love to be
part of.
EMPOWER
Leave your guidelines at home – there is a reason these influencers have generated a following in
the first place; let them create the content the best way they think it will resonate with their
following.
11. START MEASURING
• Sales (link-building & affiliate marketing). How many clicks & purchases were made
through the URL provided to the influencer? Use Google Analytics for this – or even
bit.ly (less accurate – but easy to set up)
• Awareness through Reach (high reach – more eyeballs). How many opportunities to
see has the campaign hashtag generated? Benchmark against expected values
• Awareness through Engagement (lower reach – more engagement). What are the
average engagement figures? (likes + comments) / total following = engagement rate.
Average should exceed benchmark
• Storytelling (content creation). Quality of content created (can this be re-purposed?)
as well as the above metrics
• Feedback (What did you think of the product?). Always provide influencers with a
feedback form – ask them about the product so you can get an honest opinion
• Brand advocacy (long term relationships). Within the feedback form – questions such
as ‘likelihood to recommend’ and ‘likelihood to purchase’ should be incorporated.
