What does a Fashion Micro-Influencer do on Social Media (Instagram)


Whether we like to admit or not, each and everyone of us flock into Instagram for some inspirations (mostly for new styles). Do you wonder why Instagram Influencers are so important to us? Here is a small justification:

According to the statistics of October 2019, “Instagram” has grown speedily over the years and continues to broaden its horizons with more than 500Milliom users on a daily basis. At first, it was considered as a photo-sharing app, where people shared their holiday pictures and to now the application appeals to all kinds of bloggers and influencers together with business profiles. It has become a key source for communication, learning, commerce and entertainment, as well as one of today’s popular sales and marketing channel. (Gaid. A, 2019) Want to know how? It is quite easy, whenever you require promotion for your business/products, do it this time with advertising from influencer marketing strategy. Which can contribute a shocking turn over.

Currently, most individuals are so much interested in becoming a blogger, vlogger and influencer on Instagram. What is the difference between those 3? Well, they are all the same if you have common niche and content, except: Bloggers- blog posts; Vloggers- video posts; Influencers- posts with established credibility and a large number of followers. Since we are focusing on Micro-Fashion-Influencers, the definition of this occupation is from small to mid-sized Instagram followers with specific niche. The number of followers doesn’t matter if you are not engaging with your target audience, but your followers are the ones who can make you an influencer straightaway. Did you even know that you can also be an influencer (beginner) on Instagram, nowadays? In order to do so, you need to have a few hundred to between 20,000Followers. Precisely, from economic prospective for most of the brands it is an advantage to work with micro-influencers, rather than influencers with a huge amount of followers. As for them, brands need to invest more budget than for micro ones. (Torossian. R, 2020)

Proverbial Marketing Gold

Even big organizations/ companies/ brands are noticing the impact of influencers on the marketplace, which is now define as a real job with legal ramifications of their work. Isn’t it incredible? People could have a chance to maximize their income. In the UK, the Advertising Standards Agency invented a rule, that:

“If an Influencer reaches 30,000Followers on any Social Media, will make him/her as a celebrity”

Instead of a popular influencer, a brand finds a micro influencer with a high engagement rate more effective and practical, as the eager of those influencers in to keep their audience growing and enchanting. Therefore, with fewer followers it is more likely to have an influence than a popular one with less connection and personal interaction.

 

So, what the fashion influencers actually do on SOME?

One of the common tasks with bloggers is to market the brands products, previously received, then creating a valuable content in order to spread the information to the rest of the World. While, most of the micro influencers are not so famous, I will offer an example of a celebrity and a micro-influencer. For example: Kylie Jenner (170Milliom followers) an American self-made billionaire at this moment, who posts pictures of herself wearing “Fashion Nova” (a top online fashion store) jeans and mentions the brand in her content. Therefore, this collaboration in beneficial to the brand, but not every business could afford to pay so much money for a mega-influencer. Hence, a micro fashion influencer like Carolina (13.4K followers), being a model and a mum, she states: “Who said you couldn’t be pregnant and fashionable at the same time”.

In the end, I would like to highlight that most businesses consider Micro-Influencers in all niches with a higher turnover and their audiences are more likely to follow recommendations, suggestions, offers.
