‘Influencers’ has become the mainstay of social media for a few years now, but despite their namesake, the original of their influence will come under question. Informal definition they read something like: A business or individual who has a unique Digital Marketing Company Southampton build a loyal following on their own social media platforms, utilize this influence to promote products, cause or services to sell to their following. Particularly in the retail space, the products utilize influencer audiences to, yes, increase in sales, but also expand their own social following and awareness of their brand.

In fact, micro or medium level influencers may have more of a connection with their following, with a confidence level that makes the product and service suggestions reason for the purchase or, at least, became involved with the business promoted. In this case, it could be worth a small investment to receive little in terms of sales, a little more in terms of brand awareness, and a shot of a genuine prospect in your purchase funnel.
