Terms definitions

1. ↑ influencer marketing. Influencer marketing is a promotional strategy where marketers identify individuals who have a significant sway over prospective buyers' decisions. These influencers, who can range from well-known celebrities to niche experts, are used to indirectly communicate with the target audience, often through social media platforms. The primary aim of influencer marketing is to tap into an influencer's following to influence purchase behaviors and expand a brand's reach. Payment for influencers can vary greatly, with top-tier influencers earning substantial fees for their promotional posts. Besides its benefits, influencer marketing is also subject to guidelines and regulations, most notably from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which treats influencer marketing as paid endorsement. Despite its effectiveness, critics warn against overlooking offline influential input, and platforms like Instagram are vigilant against fraudulent influencer activities. Furthermore, studies continue to explore the impact of influencers on consumer behavior and the effectiveness of influencer marketing.
