Over the past few years, data has consistently shown that the number one issue brand marketers have with influencer marketing is the ability to meaningfully measure success. Instead, everyone keeps looking at max potential impressions, engagement rates, and other vanity metrics that don't drive to real business objectives. Additionally, you'll never continue to get funding for your programs if you can't consistently prove to your C-Suite that influencer marketing works -- until now.

Stop Using a Traditional Approach

The spray and pray days of influnecer marketing are over. If you're just hiring a bunch of influencers "with really large followings" and hoping that people see the content they share on social drives them to buy your product, you're sorely mistaken. In fact, only an estimated 10% of an influencers' organic audience is even going to see that content. So, you need to adjust your approach by only partnering with influencers who's audience's match the target audience you want to reach (don't mistake this for hiring an influencer that matches your target) and then adding in an layer of targeted amplification via paid media to reach additional consumers. That's how we do it here at Carusele (along with a few other steps).
