These influencers set industry trends, inform audiences, and bring people together around shared interests and values.

On online social platforms, the specific performance is mainly influencers live with goods, short video with goods, etc. I believe you will also be guided by them to buy some products on Shake Shack. This process is influencer marketing.

The advantages of influencer marketing

Finding the right Tiktok influencers

1) Influencer type should be in line with your brand ethos

Although it is not easy to promote your product in their non-sponsored daily updates. But if you don't manage to promote your product throughout your daily life, there is a risk that the creator's endorsement will be perceived as inauthentic by the audience. In addition, the type of influencer has to be in line with the spirit of the brand so that the promotional marketing can be more convincing. For example, the choice of spokespersons for mother and baby products, most of them are influencers who have become baby mothers, so as to establish a sense of closeness and trust in front of the majority of consumers of mother and baby products.

3) Make sure influencers accept the brand
If the influencers you find are only for profit, then your influencer marketing will be greatly compromised. Why? Because influencer marketing is all about creating a connection between the product and the consumer. And it is difficult to transmit the brand spirit and product selling points deeply to users just for profit, or to remarket without temperature. This can even damage the image of your company.

You can try to find out if they are passionate about a specific social issue and if it fits your brand beliefs. For example, if your company produces school supplies and your chosen influencers focus on poverty, then later you can design a campaign that benefits all of you and helps their audience buy school bags and notebooks at a significant discount.
