Influencer marketing is one of the most effective marketing strategies today. Brands use It extensively to reach new and existing audiences, improve brand awareness, build trust, and ultimately improve sales through the trusted voice of influencers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
To effectively and successfully execute an influencer strategy, brands need, among other critical steps, to consider the financial side of the collaboration: influencers charge for their efforts, and these charges can vary from campaign to campaign significantly. This is often done through influencer rate sheets, a document used to determine the pricing of services of the influencers based on various factors.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In this article, we\u2019ll take a look at what factors affect the influencer rate sheet and what factors you need to consider to understand the rating of influencers you want to collaborate with.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When it comes to influencer marketing cost, there is no one right answer. While it is often assumed that the following is the main factor when determining influencer compensation, in practice, there are quite a few factors that affect how much your influencer marketing campaign will cost.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Reach and engagement are two of the most important factors brands consider when choosing influencers to work with. These two performance indicators show how large of an audience the influencer can access, and how interested that audience is.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The reach is largely based on the number of followers the influencer has: the larger the number, the more people are likely to see the content creators post. Because of this, influencers are separated into four categories. We\u2019ll take a look at each later in the article.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What comes to engagement, it\u2019s the number that indicates how many people interacted with the post. The engagement rate is calculated<\/a> based on likes, comments, shares, or saves the content receives. Higher levels of engagement indicate that people are interested in the product and trust the influencer enough to consider making a purchase. Engagement levels are one of the key factors to consider, and many brands choose to work with influencers with smaller followings and larger engagement rates than the other way around.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Platforms and audience demographics are another important factors that have an impact when creators build their influencer rate sheet.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Influencers charge different rates depending on the platform, and the payment for a reel on Instagram will differ significantly from the remuneration for a YouTube video.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The type of content the influencer will create for your brand will also have an impact on the pricing. Influencers will spend time and resources to create the content, and some type of content requires more time and resources to create than others. Additionally, consider how much content you want the influencers to create. Is it one picture, or several images, videos, and stories? The more effort it will require to create the content you have in mind, the more costly it will be.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n There are many different types of campaigns in the frame in which you can cooperate with the influencers and each of them will reflect differently on the influencer rate sheet you are being presented with. A one-time collaboration, when the influencer makes a single sponsored post tagging your company page will differ significantly from a month-long affiliate program, or an even longer brand partnership.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n You also need to consider that payments may not only be in the form of direct financial compensation, and can range from product discounts to gifts, especially in the case of long-term partnerships.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Location can also have a significant role in determining the influencer rate. The most basic example of this is the area population: influencers in highly populated areas have the upper hand and can charge higher fees than creators living in smaller cities. This is especially significant in the case of non-E-Commerce businesses, like those with brick-and-mortar locations, or in the hospitality industry.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Lastly, the influencer niche significantly affects the pricing of campaigns. As a general rule, the more influencers are in the niche, the more options you will have, and the lower the prices will be as you\u2019ll have negotiating power. For example, if you are looking to work with fashion and beauty influencers, you won\u2019t have a shortage of options, while finding a qualified ophthalmologist who also collaborates with brands won’t be as easy, and can be much more costly.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n These are not all, but the main factors that will affect the rates of your influencer marketing campaigns.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n As mentioned earlier, there are quite a few types of influencer campaigns. They can differ from one another by duration, posted content type and amount, and the goal, which will affect the cost of brand-influencer collaboration. Here are the five main influencer campaign types and how much they can cost.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nPlatform and Content Type<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
