Smaller creators often stand to benefit more from influencer marketing partnerships—beyond just getting paid for what they post, your promotion can help them grow. That makes these relationships easier to manage and potentially more valuable for up-and-coming online brands.
Introduction
In today’s episode of Shopify Masters, you’ll learn from two sisters who leveraged micro influencers to boost their brand. Liza and Lana Mushamel started Twinkled T to sell a range of unique nail products designed to bring the nail salon directly to your home.
Why Partnering With Micro Influencers is Beneficial
Partnering with micro influencers can be more beneficial for brands, as these influencers are often more engaged with their audience and have a more personal connection with their followers. Additionally, micro influencers are usually more affordable to work with compared to larger influencers, making it a cost-effective marketing strategy for up-and-coming brands.
How to Find and Engage with Micro Influencers
When looking for micro influencers to partner with, it’s important to focus on the quality of their content rather than just their follower count. Look for influencers who align with your brand’s values and have an engaged and loyal audience. Reach out to them directly and offer them incentives such as free products or exclusive discounts to encourage collaboration.
The Power of User-Generated Content
User-generated content is a valuable asset for brands, as it provides social proof and authenticity. Encourage your customers to share their photos and experiences with your products, and feature this content on your website and social media platforms. This not only helps to promote your brand but also creates a sense of community among your customers.
Utilizing YouTube and Instagram for Brand Growth
YouTube and Instagram are powerful platforms for brand growth. Collaborate with influencers on YouTube to create product reviews and tutorials, and leverage Instagram to showcase your products and engage with your audience. Use features such as Instagram polls to gather feedback from your customers and involve them in the decision-making process.
Staying Ahead of Trends in the Nail Industry
The nail industry is constantly evolving, with new trends and designs emerging regularly. Stay on top of these trends by following accounts on social media, attending events, and listening to customer feedback. Continuously release new products that align with current trends to keep your brand relevant and appealing to your target audience.
The Importance of Customer Engagement and Personalization
Engaging with your customers and making them feel like a part of your brand is crucial for building loyalty and trust. Respond to customer emails and comments, personalize your interactions, and create a sense of community on your social media platforms. Offer rewards programs and incentives to encourage repeat purchases and customer loyalty.
Using Shopify Apps to Enhance Your Online Store
Take advantage of Shopify apps to enhance your online store and improve the customer experience. Use apps such as Yo Recent Sales Notifications to create social proof and increase customer trust, S Loyalty to implement a rewards program, and Product Reviews to showcase user-generated content and gather customer feedback.
Future Plans for Twinkled T
Twinkled T plans to expand its product offerings and continue working with influencers to grow its brand. The company also aims to create its own YouTube content and hire additional employees to support its growth. With a new office space, Twinkled T is excited to take its business to the next level.
