    How Influencer Marketing Drives Top-of-Funnel Growth

    The Power of Influencer Marketing

    Influencer marketing has evolved from a nice-to-have to a critical growth channel for ecommerce brands.

    Choosing the Right Influencers

    • Engagement rate (aim for 3%+ on Instagram)
    • Audience demographics alignment
    • Content quality and brand fit
    • Authenticity and genuine product interest

    Micro vs Macro Influencers

    Micro-influencers (10K–100K followers) typically deliver higher engagement rates.

    Campaign Structure

    Phase 1: Seeding

    Send products to selected influencers with no strings attached.

    Phase 2: Content Creation

    Provide brand guidelines but give creative freedom.

    Phase 3: Amplification

    Repurpose top-performing influencer content across paid ads, email, and website.

    Measuring Impact

    • Reach and impressions
    • Engagement rate
    • Website traffic from influencer links
    • Conversion rate from influencer traffic
    • Cost per acquisition
