Why Influencer Marketing May Be More Rewarding Than Celebrity Endorsements

The perks of influencer marketing

Influencer marketing has been on an unprecedented rise over the past couple of years. It wouldn’t be stretching the truth to say that it may have overtaken celebrity marketing – for both local and international businesses.

Why Influencer Marketing May Be More Rewarding Than Celebrity Endorsements

Authenticity

The audience values authentic, transparent communication and brand relationships, which is why influencers are a more trusted community, compared to celebrities. There is an underlying principle of trust and respect in the relationship between an influencer and their followers, who not only value them for their opinions and morals but also share them.

A study conducted by MuseFind reveals that 92% of consumers are more likely to trust influencers over other conventional advertisements. A survey by gen. video shows that 33% of consumers would rely on influencers for making purchasing decisions.

Financial sustainability

While celebrities charge lakhs of rupees for a single piece, influencers, who are far more affordable, have proven to be just as effective (sometimes more so). More and more brands are coming to this conclusion for themselves as they engage in influencer collaborations.

Credibility

Celebrity endorsements might get your brand some visibility, sure – but is that enough to boost sales? Not really. Your consumers are smart enough to realize that celebrities are not necessarily experts, whereas most influencers are typically experts/enthusiasts in their respective niches. It is only natural that their reviews and considered more reliable.

Data from Collective Bias concludes that 30% of consumers would make a purchase of a product endorsed by an influencer as opposed to the 3% who would purchase one endorsed by a celebrity.

Interaction

While celebrities generally communicate, influencers INTERACT. There’s much more relatability there, which differentiates them majorly from celebrities. Consumers stumble upon influencers while seeking out reliable sources and expert opinions, therefore, the relationship involves trust and credibility right from the get-go.
