Key Learnings • Align your blogger strategy with your overall digital marketing strategy – as your marketing strategy evolves, your blogger strategy should as well • Level set expectations around influencers • Don’t take shortcuts – spend the time to find the right relationships and then nurture those relationships • Recognize all bloggers aren’t the same – they have different backgrounds, different business approaches, etc. • Make it a multi-faceted strategy (not all of your blogger relationships have to be the same) • Identify measures of success before you start - even if they are ‘soft’ measures • Be comfortable with not controlling and dictating the message, but do provide bloggers information on your programs • Engage bloggers in your brand - speak with them, not to them 15 ©2013 Wilton Brands.
