6 Ways to Turn Your Influencers Into Brand Advocates

6 Ways to Turn Your Influencers Into Brand Advocates 1200 628 admin

Influencers, as we all know are social media celebrities. People follow these content creators and love to watch their content in their social media feeds. Not only that, 49% of them refer to their favorite brand advocates when making certain purchase decisions.

So, do these influencers contribute to conversions? The answer is an absolute yes. About 40% of users made purchases after watching a product on Twitter, YouTube, or Instagram.

Many brands have incorporated influencer marketing in their marketing strategy. But, to make the most out of it, organizations need to convert influencers into their brand advocates.

And how will you be able to do that? Here, we bring you six ways that will help you to achieve this.

01. Influencers takeover your social media

Normally, when companies conduct influencer marketing activities, they send their products to influencers or ask them to shoot testimonials. Influencers publish that content on their social media while tagging the businesses.

That’s a traditional influencer marketing tactic. Here, you turn the tables around. You ask influencers to take control of your social media for a certain period of time. This will give your brand a face people can relate to. It will also help in recalling your brand when that same influencer will appear on their mobile screens.

For example, you can invite influencers to take a master class using your brand. Influencers of Pakistan shared their influencer’s video highlighting how to keep COVID away.

Example of brand advocate social media takeover

02. Educating and interacting with the audience

Educating the audience about your product or business, discussion sessions, launching a new product, or interacting one to one with the audience can be best done through Live sessions.

Not only that, when such sessions will be hosted by influencers of your niche, people would want to see what the session is all about and what will they get from it. This will put the audience’s trust in your brand.

For example, a service-based business can provide training or hold a session about a certain topic. This will make the audience hook with your brand.

Example of educating the audience

03. Series of a content

While posting influencer-made content in the form of ‘take over your social media’ is a good tactic. An upgraded level of the same tactic is to produce content serially. That is, either you take one influencer to speak on different topics related to your niche. Or take different brand advocates to speak on a similar topic.

Also, multiple sessions of different influencers altogether can be held to create a panel discussion between influencers and the audience. Podcasts or interviews can be another way to communicating your brand message through an influencer’s voice, on your social media.

For example, Influencers of Pakistan arranges its training programs periodically with different influencers sharing their expertise about how to become and grow as a successful influencer.

Example of brand advocates' series of content

04. Using influencers as affiliates

Affiliate marketing is a great way to bring conversions. Whenever a sale takes place due to an influencer, s/he gets paid with a certain percentage of the sale amount. 

You might face challenges while converting your influencers into affiliates i.e. they might not trust your product or ask for an amount to promote your products as affiliates. 

But, if you have already established a good relationship with influencers and conducted the above-mentioned activities with them, they will be able to collaborate with you on a commission basis.

05. Understand and value influencer’s ideas

In normal practice, influencers are given instructions to create certain content. However, they are also given the freedom to create content in a way that meets the objective of collaboration. 

But, when you give them the liberty to create content as per their understanding, the results will be different. Because these influencers understand your audience better than you. They know what kind of content they love and engage with.

By giving influencers the liberty to create content, they feel comfortable and friendly. Thus leading to a long-term relationship. Also, when influencers have a better understanding of a brand, they feel more comfortable working with them and generate better ideas.

For example, you may ask your best influencers to create a WOW moment at your product launch, by making their presence surprisingly.

06. Track your influencer activities and measure ROI

When you look at the content created by influencers, you might look at good numbers of engagement, but is that the only metric with which you can measure ROI? We think not. Below we present some ways to track and measure your influencer campaign performance.

Use UTM links

Remember we talked about asking your influencers to become affiliates? That’s where Walee comes in. Using the platform of Walee, your influencers can get their UTM link with which you and they can track their performance in terms of website clicks, impressions, and most importantly; sales.

Number of mentions

Check whether is there any spike in the number of brand mentions and their context too. How people are talking about your brand or any communication of your business. This can easily be done by our Walee Enterprise Social Listening tool, which fetches every post or tweet mentioning your brand name.

Sentiment analysis

As influencers start advocating your brand, see whether it has changed your brand perception (from negative to neutral or positive). Do people recognize and recall your brand in the market?

Source of traffic

From where you are receiving the most mentions and traffic? Is the source relevant to your industry or niche? Are the topics related to your business?

As you track and measure these technical points of your post-collaboration, and you match the results with the objectives, you can find room for improvement.

This will help you to focus on the concerns your audience and customers might have regarding your brand.

How we can help you in meeting your influencer marketing objectives

Do you feel trouble finding the right influencers for your business? Or do you think it is too time taking to search for influencers? You might have found the influencer you want to work with but don’t know how to approach them?

It is not a surprise anymore that the current pandemic has drastically changed our lives and brought in rise of ecommerce. From hygiene to lifestyle, it has altered everything. And when the lifestyle of even a definite community changes, it leaves an impression on commerce

But here, we are not talking about a group of people, but the whole globe. Since now, we have turned into a global village because the best and safest way to connect with everyone is online

According to the International Labour Organization, “Organizations that were previously familiar with teleworking, as well as organizations that have not experimented with teleworking before, were sending their employees home, creating the conditions for the most extensive mass teleworking experiment in history.”

There was an impact on the business industry. After consideration in a matter of weeks only, the traffic from brick-and-mortar shops has shifted to e-shops. Today, we will discover the influence of lockdown on the world & rise of ecommerce.

The Toilet Roll Deficit

As stated by Science Daily, “In economics, hoarding is often explored in the context of savings. When consumer confidence is down, spending drops and households increase their savings if they can, because they expect bad times ahead,” explains Professor Baddeley.

Remember how people were so clueless about how they will be able to buy their necessities and started hoarding? Most people had to search besides their local stores. And this brought them to search for all of it online. They searched at different platforms, all of the ways they had avoided earlier in fear of fraud.

THE TOILET ROLL DEFICIT

The complication is of the exhortations or regulations to work, one needs to have faith within our fellow citizens and in the government authorities that are equipping them. If people do not trust that the majority of others are going to play by these unorthodox and limited rules, they are unlikely to stick to them themselves.

A well-known example is the “tragedy of the commons,” firstly determined by shepherded animals overgrazing the lands. In certain conditions, those who run after their rational self-interest develop worse consequences for themselves than if they reacted on a basis of reciprocity, expecting the rest of the public to do the same.

Rise of Entrepreneurs

In a pandemic, everything was closing without prior warning. Hence,  various industries got hit. Thus, it ended in a loss when the companies could no longer manage the equation; downsizing began. During pandemic there was a huge imbalance as job market was observing layoffs and online business was experience rise of ecommerce.

Pandemic made companies allow many potential and well-deserving employees to resign. And then, one person was presumed to cover for three. They covered for three as were blessed to be at least employed.

Laying off employees is difficult in normal times; but amidst the Covid-19 global health crisis, the task is “emotionally and cognitively overwhelming,” according to Joshua Margolis, a professor at Harvard Business School.

All this made most of us realize how temporary our jobs are and how unstable only one line of income can be. No job was secure until and unless you are taking up more than your assigned responsibilities, Most of the employees have to work for extended hours and had no margin for breaks. And due to the pandemic, Some had to give up their jobs as they had no such facility at home to work for their employers. For small chunks of money with more targets, Some were demoted and some had to work.

Rise of Ecommerce and emerging Entrepreneurs

Such uncertainties and job insecurities lend some people towards entrepreneurship. A good number of entrepreneurs emerged during the lockdown. Most of them as expected were employees that were let go by their organization. They looked for the potential market. And worked on their social circle to spread the word and help them to survive the pandemic. 

“Among everyone who is becoming entrepreneurs, most of them are ex-employees, thinking that most of them had learned so much from their ex-companies — taking knowledge and any useful pieces of information for their next business. These ex-employees adored entrepreneurs very much. After becoming slaves for some corporations, getting rid of your bosses and becoming a boss in your own company is like a golden ticket to heaven,” according to Kenny Rivaldi.

From the fame of “Waderay ka beta” to “Karlay jo karna hai” Ali Gul Pir has become one of the most influential entertainers in Pakistan. Pir is an actor, comedian, content creator, influencer, rapper, and writer, or one can say a multi-talented personality who expresses society with creative content.

Ali Gul Pir portrays socially highlighted issues by his style of content creation and entertainment. The influencer has prosperously established himself from “Waderay Ka Beta” to “Ghareeban Ja Khwab” as one of the top recognized rappers of Pakistan. He endeavored into many fields correlated with the social media world.

In 2012, Ali Gul Pir earned the “Innovation Hero” award from Google for his exceptional content and influencing skills. The international presses like Al Jazeera, BBC, Dawn, Masala, and Tribune have published articles about Pir’s work.  

Walee had an exciting interaction with Ali Gul Pir during Walee’s Influencer Training Program. We are honored to work with such an artistic personality. We talked to Pir about his influencer journey and experience with Walee. 

Let’s see how our conversation went.

How did your Influencer journey start?

It was decided after A levels, I will not pursue a degree in maths because I was not good at it. My elder brother suggested that I should go to a film degree program. I went to university and registered for the degree and then four years went by. Then, I did theatre for a couple of years, and it felt like an actor emerged in me.

I did improve theatre, an assistant job in a production house for a year, and many other gigs. After struggling for one year, came “Waderay ka beta.” And this was my solo first attempt at doing something of my own. 

Influencer - Ali Gul Pir

How do you plan and create your content?

 I don’t plan anything. I make videos based on how funny I find them. To make video content, I need to find it funny, and eventually, ideas strike for creativity. Wherever I travel, I carry my laptop, lights, and speakers to make my videos anywhere. 

Pir further added, There are still two to three videos in my vault that I found funny and want to create content later. I have saved them for the dry days like no viral videos, etc.” 

Do you get negative feedback or sentiments on your content?

Speaking of it, when I make political content, for instance, a parody of a political figure, the supporters get furious and dare me to make the content on the opposition leader. So when I do so, his supporters get upset. 

I did this song, “Tera Jism Meri Marzi” 90% of the men who followed my work hated it. And I got a lot of negative feedback from men who thought I was destroying family values. I just simply portrayed that it is her choice as it is her body. But I guess this is triggering for a lot of men. 

After “Waderay Ka Beta,” I would get emails and calls from the Sindh nationalist parties. That was the first time I experienced such calls and death threats. I thought acting will have no such cons.

Furthermore, for me, the key is not to care about what people think and do what makes you happy. If something is affecting you and you have to talk about it or make a song, do it. If it is coming from the heart, the feedback with, good or bad, does not matter.

How was your overall experience with Walee?

My experience was great. First of all, the platform, the setup was very high-tech. The website and the app were outstanding. The whole team was professional. For a content creator, the main thing is getting paid on time and, I did not have to call you for the payment as it was on time. 

While praising Walee, he added, “Around eight years back, after a couple of years in this industry, I hoped that one day, a platform would come up that would represent the digital influencers. When I started in 2012, and at that time being viral and getting a hundred thousand views on Youtube, that was the most viral one could get back then.”

He also added, “I remembered we worked with a brand, Unilever, for my song Taroo Maroo. We wanted integration and we argued for more than one month and convinced them for five hundred thousand for the video. It was a big deal then as people did not spend much on digital marketing.

There are a lot of influencers now and they all do not know how to market themselves though they might know how to make content. In Pakistan, you have to do most of the work. But Walee is doing most of the job by signing people and taking care of the rest while the influencer stays focused on the content without worry.”

As content creators continue to evolve with more engaging content, we continue to provide them a platform where they can be noticed by brands and valued for their content.
