Overview
For more than 10 years, Mumpower has been focussed on nurturing the connection between Mum-centric brands and the Influencers that speak directly to millions of mum-shoppers.
Our latest study ‘The State of Mum-Influencer Marketing 2022’ asked the questions brands want answered, and the results will reveal the latest trends and strategies to power up your next Influencer Marketing Campaign.
In this article, Mumpower taps into our trusted network of 2000+ Mum influencers to reveal the top 20 reasons why Influencers won’t work with your brand and 5 powerful steps a brand can take to strengthen influencer success.
20 Reasons why Influencers won’t collaborate with your Brand:
- Expecting too much in return
- Not offering a fair remuneration
- If they don’t genuinely use the product
- Perception of poor product quality
- Product or brand doesn’t align with their personal brand or audience
- Product or brand doesn’t align with feed aesthetic or usual type of content
- Unrealistic timeframes for deliverables
- Lack of detail or clarity of expectations in brief
- Restrictive approval process
- Pre-defined scripted captions
- Editing demands
- Cost of product too unrealistic for audience
- Lack of creative freedom
- No personalisation in the brand outreach
- Poor representation of diversity from the brand
- Short contract terms
- Unethical practices by the brand or associated spokespeople
- Lack of communication
- The brand does not welcome honest reviews
- Not taking the time to research influencer before contacting her
5 powerful steps a brand can take to accelerate relationships with Mum Influencers:
1. Encourage influencer to create more relatable content – this instils trust, confidence and ultimately engage the audience better
2. Build longer-term relationships with Influencers that align with your brand rather than one-off collabs to increase brand awareness and keep your brand top of mind
3. Respect the time and value the output of the content creator to create win/win partnerships and leave positive brand impression
4. Allow the creator to be genuine in their review to accelerate brand trust with your prospective customers
5. Take the time to research best-fit, aligned influencers to represent you – because a strong campaign starts with this!
