1. Use product seeding with mega influencers like FashionNova
Fashion Nova has grown its brand through product seeding, by partnering with well-known influencers with large followings. The company has enlisted the help of around 5,000 mega-influencers who share content that appears more like a casual conversation with a friend rather than an advertisement.
This marketing strategy has been successful for the fast fashion brand, with the company's founder, Richard Saghian, estimated to have a net worth of $1.4 billion and selling $500 million worth of merchandise in 2021 alone.
2. Build your brand with influencers like Sugar
SUGAR Cosmetics, established in 2015 with only two products, is now valued at $30 billion. The founder's use of influencer marketing was crucial to the company's success, as social media marketing and viral videos helped to propel the brand forward despite its humble origins.
3. Gymshark masters the power of memes to make everyone talk about them
To get people started on the "fit life", Gymshark created Gymshark66. A 66 days day challenge to form a habit with a worldwide community that supports each other in pursuing their fit goals. Each member must complete a small daily goal to help them achieve their dream goal!
They teamed up with influencers from the Gymshark Family to create quirky memes and post their daily micro-goals for the #Gymshark66 challenge. To this day, more than 788K posts have been published using their dedicated hashtag.
4. Be your own influencer like ROWSE
The Spanish brand ROWSE has taken beauty and cosmetics consumers by surprise with its innovative approach towards influencer marketing.
