Driving Sales:
The Long & The Short Of It
‍

All influencer marketing efforts should lead to sales in some way — either long-term or short-term sales. The question for brands to get clear on is whether your goal is long-term or short-term sales.

‍Long-Term Sales occur as a result of brand-awareness and engagement initiatives over time and are trickier to measure.

‍Short-Term Sales can be tracked as direct sales through seasonal activations or special sales-focused campaigns.

Today, we’re going to focus on short term sales initiatives.

How Do You Know If Your Brand Is Ready To Drive Influencer Sales?

Every brand wants to drive sales through influencer marketing — but certain brands are better positioned to drive direct, trackable sales through influencers:

Products with lower price points

For example, make up and hair care are a better match for influencer marketing than, say, diamond rings

Products with a short customer journey and lower consideration purchase

A new sofa usually requires some consideration compared to some new cushions you might buy on the spot

Brands that are established on social media and have social media storefronts

I.e. those who already have a following and a level of brand awareness

Brands that have are engaged with their target audience

Engagement metrics such as comments, saves, click throughs, email sign ups show great potential for future sales
