The Influencer Marketing Statistics You Need to Know [Infographic]

As influencer marketing evolves, it seems that there’s a new survey or report released every other week, highlighting the various best practices to locate, reach out and connect with relevant digital identities – and why you need to do so.

It can be hard to keep up, so with this infographic, the Vamp team sought to collect all the most significant findings of the year so far.

The stats here underline just how much growth there’s been in influencer marketing – highlighted by a 1500% increase in searches for ‘influencer marketing’ over the past three years. And it’s little wonder that people want to learn more, when the process has proved its worth so competently. Some 87% of shoppers admit that they’ve been prompted to make a purchase by an influencer, and almost the same amount of marketers believe it’s an effective marketing solution (84%).

Looking to get a better handle on the rise of influencer marketing, and why it’s so effective? Check out the graphic below.

Digital marketing beyond just managing social media accounts

E-Marketing, Marketing Digital Marketing

Digital marketing specialists, also known as digital marketers, which some also refer to as online managers, play a vital role in the development of a country’s economy because every company must have marketers, sales executives and business developers. These groups of executives are like the heart of a business. As the world is moving fast digitally, the duties of business development, sales and marketing gradually shift into digital marketing. Most people think that digital marketing is just about managing social media, but that idea is completely wrong. Digital marketing requires a strategy that will encompass all the online assets of a company and creating a brand story that will pull target audience.

Many people have got their hands burnt because of some so-called digital marketers. These are people who just collect money from individuals and organisations and promise things they cannot achieve, thereby failing. When this happens, distrust sets in and one begins to wonder if digital marketing is not another fraud.

The soreness of digital marketing comes from the inability of prospective clients to have trust in using digital experts because of their experiences. What we the real digital marketing experts and agencies are doing is to ensure the delivery of maximum result and educating the public on the importance of digital marketing. We are creating more avenues for people to learn and understand the great wealth and opportunities embedded in digital marketing as well as the great impact it can have on our economy.

Can you give an insight into the functions of digital marketers in a modern society?

A digital marketing manager is responsible for developing, implementing and managing marketing campaigns that promote a company and its products and/or services. He or she plays a major role in enhancing brand awareness within the digital space as well as driving website traffic and acquiring leads/customers. A digital marketer may also be responsible for managing the online presence and brand of a company. Social networking tools such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram allow businesses to engage with their consumers in real time and a digital marketer will often be responsible for this communication. He or she plays a major role in enhancing brand awareness within the digital space as well as driving website traffic and acquiring leads/customers.

Small-Business Marketing Budgets Continue to Rise

Marketing Small-Business Marketing

According to the 2016 Local Pulse Report from Thrive Analytics, 42% of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are increasing their marketing budgets this year. This is an increase from 35% at the same time last year. The study reported that top growth areas among the more than 1,100 SMB owners who responded include mobile marketing at 49% (an increase of 15% from last year) and online display and paid search at 44% (both up 11%).

Just six out of 10 respondents to the study have a website, but 80% use social media platforms, including Facebook (70%), Twitter (32%) and LinkedIn (26%). Seven of 10 owners expect social media to generate leads, while more than half (57%) use it to build awareness and another 57% utilize it to engage their customers. Only 19% of respondents report paying for advertising on social media.

“Digital media continues to be SMBs’ main focus when it comes to marketing, especially with newer businesses,” said Jason Peaslee, managing partner of Thrive Analytics. “However, older and more established businesses continue to see value in traditional forms of marketing too. As SMBs view local advertising as a more strategic source of leads and essential for keeping up with competition, more dollars are being invested across a growing number of channels.”

Almost half (49%) of all respondents stated that mobile is their top growth area in terms of marketing, but approximately the same number state that their websites are not mobile-optimized. In fact, the majority of respondents reported they do not have a solid mobile marketing strategy.

The Local Pulse Report is a comprehensive bi-annual study that examines social media use, ratings and reviews, mobile marketing, marketing budgets and technology adoption.

The Easy Way to Go Global With Inbound Marketing.

Why partner with TotalWeb? Read the following article from “Marketing Profs” and learn how we can help you increase market share.

Most companies have heard about the practice of inbound marketing, but fewer know how to effectively implement it.

On the surface, the idea is simple: Great content generates Web traffic, and a proportion of that traffic will end up converting to leads. This is a relatively new concept for many businesses that are used to building a brand by simply pushing out products or services via more traditional methods rather than creating compelling content that pulls in customers.

Many B2B companies have started deploying inbound marketing strategies. At the core of those strategies is content marketing. Some 93% of B2B organizations are using some form of content marketing, but less than half (42%) say they’re effective at it.
