Traditional ads and paid campaigns sound too artificial to your customers. Even if you fetch few customers out of that, you won’t be able to retain them for long. On the other hand, influencer marketing is a flawless way of customer acquisition and retention. As already quoted about ColourPop, the brand was endorsed by some of the popular influencers which led to the brand’s success.
So, if you want to create a deep impact over customer’s mind and win over hearts then influencer marketing is the key for you. The idea is simple. When an influencer who is already loved and accepted by masses talks about something, it is likely to be trusted by his fans. Is it? The customers will genuinely trust your brand and this will help you win over their loyalty.
