Nonetheless, as brands from all industries learn the nuanced skill of partnering with influencers, their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/grin.co\/blog\/the-history-of-influencer-marketing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">marketing ROI takes off<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though influencer marketing as a formal marketing discipline is a relatively new phenomenon, enough performance data is demonstrating that consumers and clients alike prefer <a href=\"https:\/\/grin.co\/blog\/experiential-marketing-with-influencers\/\">authentic engagement over traditional advertising<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where some marketers remain stumped pertains to how influencers can benefit service-based businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is that influencers are well-equipped to promote services with just as much success as they do products. In this blog, we&#8217;re going to discuss how to use influencers to benefit your services business.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What all influencer marketing campaigns have in common<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we dive headfirst into using influencers for your service-based business, it&#8217;s essential to understand why influencer marketing works.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of whether you sell a product or service, consumers and clients respond to influencers in ways that they don&#8217;t to other marketing techniques. This result is particularly true because buyers know that you are biased toward your own brand.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether a client, consumer, or B2B partnership, all buyers are people that manage emotions and relationships. <\/span><b><i>Influencers are masters at building trust with people from all walks of life<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As a result, influencer campaigns connect with buyers better for the following reasons:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"list-c25805b\" class=\"list-c1d704f\"><ul><li>Influencers sell experiences to their audience.<\/li><li>Influencers are expert storytellers.<\/li><li>Influencers nurture authentic relationships with members of their online communities.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Selling an experience<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Influencers promote a certain kind of lifestyle to members of their audience. Achieving a certain quality of life is no less relevant to services as it is to products.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During influencer campaigns, <\/span><b><i>the experience your services offer is what influencers will promote<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And because influencers are some of the most creative thinkers of our day, they will be able to help you create a compelling campaign that will resonate with buyers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Telling a story<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every buyer story is one of a person (or a group of people) with an unresolved desire or need. Tension mounts as the one experiencing pain or frustration begins learning how to wrap words around their needs and desires.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then along comes a solution in the form of a product or service. Not only does that product or service address a particular desire or need, but it also brings joy to the buyer.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With their problem sufficiently addressed, the customer&#8217;s life is forever changed. And while more challenges await them on the horizon, they are content at this moment in time.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Influencers have a remarkable ability to be a voice for those with a specific set of problems, longings, aspirations, and goals. Influencers connect with people in ways that most businesses never thought possible.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Authentic connections with a target audience<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditional marketing and advertising can be inauthentic.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And while some inauthentic tactics still work, it usually takes more money and effort to stand out from all the other branded voices insisting that their brand is better than everyone else.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buyers long for authenticity. They want information that they can trust, and one of the most excellent examples of trustworthy content arrives by way of their favorite social media personality.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most influencers are not celebrities. They are ordinary people living somewhat routine lives.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Influencers are successful because they know how to engage people sharing similar values, hobbies, and life circumstances. When an influencer endorses a product, audiences treat those endorsements like raving reviews from a trusted friend.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And yet, an influencer&#8217;s voice is revered in much the same way as a celebrity. Audiences aspire to the influencer&#8217;s quality of life and, at times, may live vicariously through them.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An influencer&#8217;s authenticity is best represented by the quantity and quality of their follower engagements. When an influencer posts, their followers flock to comment, share, or otherwise engage with the post.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b><i>The result of influencer marketing is an enormous amount of authentic user-generated content effortlessly promoting your brand<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Influencer marketing for ecommerce direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Influencer marketing is a tactic most often employed by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/grin.co\/blog\/influencer-relationship-management\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ecommerce D2C brands<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to drive brand awareness, web traffic and online sales.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of these brands have been able to grow their business without the assistance of traditional retailers. Influencers promote D2C brands directly to members of their online communities, and consumers flock to digital checkout lines.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the most common ways that ecommerce brands use influencers are:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"list-c4a5644\" class=\"list-cd9be2f\"><ul><li>Sponsored social media posts<\/li><li>Guest blogs\/articles<\/li><li>Video\/written product reviews<\/li><li>Product giveaways and contests<\/li><li>Limited-time promotion announcements (like holiday discounts)<\/li><li>Affiliate links and swipe-ups<\/li><li>New product launches<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Influencer marketing for service-based businesses<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naturally, a service-based business can&#8217;t send product samples for influencers to use and then promote.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But many of the same influencer marketing principles apply to services just as they did with direct-to-consumer products. Remember, influencers sell an experience, tell incredible stories, and engage authentically with their followers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What kind of influencers work best with service-based brands?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each service-based brand has different marketing needs and objectives. Like most <\/span><a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/grin.co\/blog\/influencer-marketing-manager\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">influencer marketing managers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you will need to do some trial-and-error to find out which influencers are the best fit for your brand.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often, your influencer program should reflect a variety of influencers to achieve multiple objectives and reach numerous audience segments.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, here are some of the best influencer types for service-based businesses:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"list-c475bfe\" class=\"list-cc8a2cf\"><ul><li><strong><em>Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs)\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong>&#8211; These influencers are usually industry experts with a great deal of influence among <em>other<\/em> industry experts. KOLs can be among the most effective types of influencers to recruit for your brand if your services are business-to-business or more refined.<\/li><li><strong><em>Micro Influencers<\/em><\/strong> &#8211; Many micro influencers create niche content highly relevant to a number of service-related industries. For software and IT service brands, micro influencers can be especially lucrative. Additionally, health, wellness, and beauty influencers in the micro space make great ambassadors for spas or therapy-based service brands.<\/li><li><strong><em>Nano influencers located nearby <\/em><\/strong>&#8211; Frequently, your services revolve around a particular destination. If this is the case for you, your best option is to partner with a local Nano influencer. Though these influencers have a smaller following (between 1,000 and 10,000 followers), Nano influencers maintain deep connections with each audience member.<\/li><li><strong><em>Customer Advocacy: Clients with a strong social following <\/em><\/strong>&#8211; If you have one or two clients with an unusually active social media account, you can partner with those clients to promote your brand. Think of this approach as a more intentional form of referral marketing. Pseudo-famous (or perhaps even actually famous) clients that love your services can become valuable customer advocates .<\/li><li><strong><em>Employees with a strong social following<\/em><\/strong> &#8211; If clients with a strong social media following can become influencers for your brand, so can your employees. That said, treating your employees well converts your workforce into an army of brand ambassadors organically. By giving your employees ideas for how to drive more business via social media activity, you might be surprised how much you receive by way of user-generated content, web traffic, and sales.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong><em>Celebrities <\/em><\/strong>&#8211; Though a bit expensive, celebrity endorsements for services can be just as effective as they are for products. Celebrities have enormous reach and can inject your brand with a healthy dose of credibility. That said, even celebrity influencers should maintain some sort of relevant connection to your service or industry. Some industries &#8211; like SaaS companies &#8211; would be hard-pressed to find a celebrity that fits their brand.<\/li><li>How can an influencer promote your service?<\/li><li>After identifying the influencers that can help you achieve your marketing goals, the next step is to create a campaign that will motivate buyers to act.<\/li><li>Ideally, you and your influencer should collaborate on the best approach. Here are some ideas for your influencers:<\/li><li><strong><em>Using your services and talking about their experience <\/em><\/strong>&#8211; By far, the best way to incorporate influencers into your campaign is to have them experience your services for themselves. That way, they will be able to offer their followers an objective narrative about their experience. You can equip your influencers with referral links to credit them for web traffic and sales.<\/li><li><strong><em>Hosting co-branded discussions on industry-relevant topics <\/em><\/strong>&#8211; Many influencers host their own podcast or YouTube channel. If your services are relevant to an influencer&#8217;s audience, ask them to host a co-branded discussion for their followers to enjoy.<\/li><li><strong><em>Inviting them to brand-hosted events <\/em><\/strong>&#8211; If your service-based business hosts or sponsors industry events, invite your influencers. You can ask them to help you promote both your brand and the event. Additionally, many influencers can stream events live if they feel it will deliver value to their online communities.<\/li><li><strong><em>Using blogs or vlogs to create exhaustive service reviews <\/em><\/strong>&#8211; If your services merit a thorough review by an influencer with a blog or vlog, you can partner with those influencers to promote your brand. While influencers do their utmost to remain positive (especially if you&#8217;ve hired them), remember that an influencer&#8217;s loyalty is first and foremost to their followers. They will promote your services as long as doing so will help their audience. Influencer reviews can offer invaluable user feedback, but for the campaign to be authentic, your influencers must be honest and objective.<\/li><li><strong><em>Inviting the influencer to participate in a case study <\/em><\/strong>&#8211; If your influencer is also a happy client, encourage them to join you for a case study focusing on them using your services. You can interview your client, host Q&amp;As, and publish the content on everyone&#8217;s social channels.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you set your influencer marketing goals as a service-based business?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/grin.co\/blog\/influencer-marketing-measurement\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calculating ROI<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for your influencer marketing campaign should encompass a handful of different metrics.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, web traffic directly contributes to the sale of services. Additionally, brand awareness puts your business on the radar of more potential clients.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, you must outline your goals for any given marketing campaign. Among the top goals that influencers can help you achieve are:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"list-c4a63e0\" class=\"list-cb95ed8\"><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/grin.co\/blog\/influencer-marketing-revenue-tracking\/\">Increased sales<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/grin.co\/blog\/user-generated-content\/\">User-generated content<\/a><\/li><li>Increased web traffic<\/li><li>Brand awareness<\/li><li>Higher brand sentiment<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/grin.co\/blog\/influencer-marketing-seo-best-practices\/\">Improved search engine optimization<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When recruiting influencers, make sure that you communicate your marketing objectives to your influencers.
