How smart brands are using Instagram influencers to launch new products.

June 15, 2016 9:57 am Published by

Webfluential recently ran an Influencer Marketing campaign for Avon - Meet your Matte, to raise awareness of Avon’s trendy new matte lipstick colours. While most of us learnt about the launch of a new lipstick colour in a magazine, smart brands are now turning to influencers to make the launch of their new products more exciting. We tend to trust the opinions of our peers over that of a brand, because  people relate more to their peers or their favourite blogger. Through influencers brands are able to reach the correct target market and have them engage with their products, in a way that does not make people feel as though they are being bombarded with advertising - but rather content that they care about. Have a look at the amazing work these influencers were able to produce for Avon.   Aisha Baker Capture   With over 62K Instagram followers and having been featured in Elle, Glamour and Marie Claire, Aisha Baker has quickly become a true fashion inspiration to many young South Africans.
