Why influencer marketing?Let’s start by taking a quick look at why we’re discussing influencer marketing.
![Page 6: The Future of Influencer Marketing for B2C and B2B · Evangelism 2.0: The Future of Influencer Marketing for B2C and B2B Ragan Practical PR Summit, Chicago June 15, 2017](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042309/5ed6cffcc7a5935b07521cdf/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
People expect brands to talk with them rather than at them. They no longer expect brands to sell to them, but to entertain and inform them.
In this new paradigm, influencers are a force to be reckoned with.

Identify your goals
• Brand awareness: How many people
viewed, downloaded, or listened to this piece of content because of the influencer?
• Engagement: How often is your content
shared with others because of the influencer?
• Audience building: How is the influencer
helping to convert people into subscribers and valuable leads?
• Lead nurturing: Does interaction with the
influencer help move a lead closer to a sale?
• Sales: Did you make money because of this
content shared by the influencer? What revenue or ROI can you apply to this program?
• Customer retention/loyalty: How can an
influencer help retain a customer?
• Upsell / cross-sell: Is there a way to use an
influencer to help someone become more invested in your business
Determining the best ways to work with influencers starts by identifying – and documenting – the specific business goals you want your efforts to accomplish.

How to Nurture Advocates
• Add value to their lives
• Make it easy to share
• Ensure that it is rewarding to share
• Help them be seen as thought leaders and trend setters, give them access to new info first
• Make them feel connected to your community and brand
• Gamify it – for employee evangelism, one fun way is to make sharing a game; earn points for sharing and create friendly competition

Moving from influencer to evangelist
• Current influencer programs focused on meeting specific objectives
• Transition to creating evangelists, by shifting to true relationship management, building longer term engagement and more vested interest
• This often comes to be by crafting amazing experiences for influencer/evangelists and allowing them to create authentic content that will resonate with their audiences over time—especially serialized content or first-to-know news
