Is there a future for Influencer Marketing.

So many words can be used to describe the value of Influencer marketing; it is convenient, trustworthy, etc.

The real question is, IS THERE A FUTURE FOR IT. There so many reasons why its future is uncertain however this two stand out;

use of user generated content (UGC)
use of brand ambassadors

User Generated Content
This is definitely a gold mine, if everyone who received a product/service went ahead to post about it to their followers and tagged the person to whom provided the product/service to them imagine just the extent to which the information & experience has been shared. More people get to know about the product but moreover the business is able to understand at what level their customers enjoy the product/service offered. It also gives the business a chance to share to their not yet customers what value they would get.

Brand Ambassadors
Person/People who already particularly identify with your brand as a result people who identify to the individual feel as though they could use the product since they can connect with the ambassador or the brand had them in mind. This also helps you keep in touch with your potential/existing clients because you are in direct communication with them or communicate directly to someone who they can relate to.

Use of either UGC or brand ambassadors or both is definitely one long term marketing channel businesses should draw strategies across since its advantages speak for themselves and definitely cost efficient.
