Psychology of Influence

As adverts and traditional marketing tactics fall out of favour, consumers are looking elsewhere for inspiration and advice on where to buy products and services. Unlike traditional advertising, which is often riddled with untrustworthy stats and conflated claims, influencer marketing has the power of third party endorsement. It plays on the psychology that it is a trustworthy source – much like a recommendation from a friend.

In a world where we are more digitalised than ever and have access like never before into the lives of our idols through social media, consumers are thoroughly entwined with people they admire on social media. From following their daily life on Instagram stories to reading their political views on Twitter, consumers are involved like never before with influencers and have far more faith in them than capitalist brands.

In turn, the psychology of influence has changed in recent years. People are more likely to trust the word of influencers than brands because consumers identify with influencers in more ways than they do with brands.

  • How much time people spend with different people and the opportunities for conversations across the day and week
  • Time of day when people talk most on social media vs real world
  • What people are doing at the same time as having conversations online
  • Correlation with the consumption of other media
  • Differences between online and offline influencers; and how to tailor approaches to both groups

Principles of Marketing with Twitter

To be successful in marketing your business on Twitter, you must ensure that several things are in line with your core business values. This includes having a defined target audience, aims and objectives that are measurable so you can track how much of an impact your Twitter marketing strategy is having on your business. Then it’s about how you tailor your content to fit the defined factors. Whether you’re growing your brand, promoting your business or building a personal audience, sticking to these guidelines will help you develop a coherent plan.

We will make sure we cover:

The Benefits of our Social Media Influencer Marketing Training

Whatever your industry, your brand can benefit from influencer marketing. Many are put off as the term is often associated with high profile celebrities that cost hundreds of thousands of pounds to partner with, but this is not the case.

We will provide you with the tools to identify influencers that are relevant to your brand so you can get the most from your budget whatever it may be. From there, you can go on to build a strong relationship that will not only provide you with brilliant online content that drives conversation but provides your brand with an unexplored platform to speak to directly to your target audience.

In addition to ensuring great content and stable relations, we will provide insight into best practice on what to do when things don’t go to plan, and legal guidance when needed. While we don’t ever expect things to go awry, it’s always best to prepare for the worst-case scenario, so you are confident when you implement an influencer strategy, that you are capable of dealing with any situation. We can give you the tools to do that.

Social Media Influencer Marketing Training Resources

We will use a host of resources that will help you learn the skills you need to implement an effective influencer strategy. This will include training sheets, online tools and videos, interactive group work and further reading. These resources will be accessible both during and after the session so you can apply what you have learned in your real-life work.

Social Media Influencer Marketing Training Tips

Because micro-influencers are not high-profile celebrities, they have the same purchasing concerns and needs as ordinary people. Not only do their audiences share their particular values and interests, they trust what micro-influencers have to say about services and products. In fact, it has been reported that 70 per cent of teen YouTube subscribers say that they are more interested in the YouTube creators they follow than celebrities. We will help you tap into this with our influencer marketing tips that will help you get more from your campaigns.
