Content is key when it comes to sponsored posts

Instagram post

 

With the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and other authorities constantly updating the rules around sponsored content, it’s important that bloggers, vloggers and social media influencers disclose their relationships with the brands that they feature.

This isn’t really a problem for creative influencers – if your content is amazing, people aren’t going to care whether or not it was sponsored.

To prove this point, here are four Instagram posts that were definitely sponsored and marked with a #ad and/or #sponsored as per the FTC rules, but we didn’t feel bombarded by a brand message.

(According to the FTC’s new rules, these influencers will have to mark this content upfront as #sponsored and/or with #ad.)

When’s the best time to try out influencer marketing?

Many marketers are still trying to grasp the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ of influencer marketing, never mind the ‘when’.

The ‘what’ is simple to explain: it’s a form of marketing where brands use key individuals – called influencers – to deliver their messaging to a specific audience that the influencer has built up a relationship with.

The ‘why’ is equally simple: we trust product reviews and recommendations coming from our friends more than advertisements.

The ‘when’ is a little more strategic. It’s tempting to try out influencer marketing because it seems like a novelty (it’s not), but you’ll get the best results if you time your influencer campaign to when you’re trying to achieve very specific marketing goals.

Webfluential’s Kirsty Sharman wrote an article on Social Media Today, where she explained 6 perfect times for marketers to use influencer marketing. There’s even an infographic! Click here to read the full article.
