How to contract influencers for your campaign

Successful influencer marketing campaigns don’t go by unnoticed. Perhaps you’ve already tried to collaborate with influencers to see if the results were as great as they say and it’s possible that your campaign didn’t give you the results you expected.

When it comes to collaborating with influencers who are in popular demand for promotional campaigns with brands, this is a fairly common reality. Some of these influencers simply receive more offers than they can handle, or perhaps their economical expectations are out of reach for smaller brands.

So, if you’re thinking about launching these types of marketing actions, it’s possible that the first obstacle you’ll face is trying to find influencers that are a good match for your brand and who are eager to help you achieve your objectives. It’s also normal to have doubts regarding their audience’s data or past collaborations with other brands.

Mission impossible? Not at all! All of these doubts and more will be resolved in this post, so just keep on reading!

Everything you should know before contracting influencers for your marketing campaigns

The reality of contracting influencers for your marketing campaigns is that it can be a very simple or a very complex process, depending on how you want to go about it. Let’s see why.

• It can be complicated if your doubts are delaying the decision making process and the consequent implementation of your campaign. For example:
  • if you don’t know whether your content is in line with the influencer’s style
  • if you don’t know whether the influencer works with your competition
  • if you don’t know whether they’ll be willing to take on your proposal
• You may think that contracting a famous youtuber or blogger will boost your brand’s popularity, but if you don’t take into consideration how much they earn, it may be difficult to make them an offer that they will consider.
