Influencing the influencer

Influencing the influencer

The rise of the micro influencer.

Did you know? Instagram has more than 1 billion monthly active users (MAUs) or roughly more than 13 percent of the Earth’s population. The typical user spends an average of 55 minutes per day on Instagram. … 72 percent of Instagram users have bought a product they saw advertised on the app.

For small business owners with limited budgets, micro-influencers provide great opportunities and value. And micro-influencers are growing at a much faster rate than their macro counterparts.

When it comes to engagement for Instagram, nano influencers (1K-10K) have the highest rate at 4.4%. Micro (10K-100K), medium (100K-1M), and mega (1M+) influencers have rates of 2.4%, 1.8%, and 0.7% respectively.

The best platform is YouTube. It has the highest engagement rate for nano (6.7%), micro (6.2%), medium (5.0%), and mega (4.0%) influencers.

Facebook and Twitter have the lowest rates with under one percent for all levels of influencers. But even for these platforms, the nano and micro-influencers fare much better.

When it comes to the type of content, images do better than videos on Instagram across all levels of influencers. Video falls way behind.

Instagram influencers run the show, which is why it provides a great opportunity for reaching a targeted audience. Depending on what industry you are in; Instagram can deliver great returns for your small budget.

The overall average engagement rate of campaign content on Instagram is 2.4%. But it can be higher or lower based on the industry.

Did you know?

Pets, for example, has the highest rate of engagement which is followed by tobacco and smoke and children and baby toys.

Healthy living is surprisingly low.

When it comes to influencer marketing engagement rate is important. When the rate is high, it means people are responding to the content and if it is low, they are not responding. Subsequently, influencers with high engagement rates charge more.

Taking a break from analytics here are our current nano favs this week!

Pampers to install 5,000 nappy changing stations in men’s loos in the next 2 years

Pampers to install 5,000 nappy changing stations in men’s loos in the next 2 years

American dads can breathe a sigh of relief as clever Pampers are going to install baby changing tables in 5,00 loos across America and Canada as part of a programme called #LovetheChange.

We love you Pampers for this idea.

We have always wondered why there are no changing tables in mens lavs?

Pampers wants to make it easier for dads with small children by providing 5,000 changing tables for public restrooms across North America by 2021.

Pampers, owned by Procter & Gamble, said it’s time to fix changing-table inequality. The revolution has already begun, the first 500 locations have already been identified and installation is expected to be completed over the coming weeks, P&G said.

Part of what grabbed P&G’s attention was a viral photo of Donte Palmer with his child in his lap, squatting to change his son’s nappy.

Since that post, Palmer has founded #SquatForChange, an organisation committed to arming dads with the proper changing-table resources they need to be hands-on with their children.

OK – now bring it to the UK? We are waiting….

Ossie loves his new baby box!

Ossie loves his new baby box!

We have just launched a brand new baby product: the Angel Babybox.

Scandi Mummy says:  “In principle you don’t need many things for a newborn yet there are some essentials and some that simply make life easier.

When we were offered to try the new @angelbabybox I was intrigued. The concept is similar to the baby box you receive in Finland and now Scotland, too. Yet instead of being made from simple cardboard this is crafted from luxurious and soft materials that not only makes it comfortable and safe for your little one but durable as well.

It’s multipurpose and can be used as a sleeping pod, changing mat, play mat as well as used for storage once your baby has outgrown it. Its clever design means it easily packs flat making it ideal for travelling. It was recently voted one of the best travel cots of 2019 by the Evening Standard.

As you can see Ossie has found it very comfortable and we will bring it on the road in September when we are off on our first family-of-four holiday. Pop over to my stories to see more…”

We have also been features in The Evening Standard’s Top Ten Travel Cots, Absolutely Mama, Baby, Female First, UKMUMSTV with more coverage to come!
