Now see the things around you and ask yourself, "How many of the things have you bought because the influencers all over the internet were talking about that product and that influenced you to try it out?" Come on, go back, and let us know in the comments.
The difference between celebrity endorsements and influencer marketing is easily understood by this simple thought:
Products endorsed by your favorite celebrities make a space in your brain because of the celebrity's name and face, but you end up buying products that have been tried, tested, and marketed by your favorite influencer.
Here are the major differences between celebrity endorsements and influencer marketing:
1. Expertise
Celebrities always aren't knowledgeable about the items they're endorsing. They just advertise about the product and majority of the time don’t get into the details of it.
Influencer marketing, on the other hand, succeeds mostly because the influencer is knowledgeable about the kind of product they are endorsing. An influencer who is a professional in a field, and when they endorse a product, the audience tends to believe them.
2. Reach
Celebrities frequently have a broad audience that includes many different customer profiles and demographics. The audience, however, might not be a cult audience that would unquestionably take into account the celebrity's endorsement.
On the other hand, an influencer might have a targeted or narrow audience, but that audience is committed and takes their favorite influencer's promotion of a specific product very seriously. They believe in the influencers’ choices and consider those choices for themselves too while making a choice in the category in which the product belongs to.
3. Engagement
One-way conversations are increasingly common with celebrity endorsements. The advertisement shows the celebrity endorsing the product but what after that? The audience is unable to communicate to the celebrity.
On the other hand, influencers frequently engage in two-way communication. They endorse the product too and also communicate with their audience if they have any question regarding that product. The consumers today ask all their doubts and like to be absolutely sure before they make a purchase and that is influencer marketing takes an upper hand.
4. Creation of Content
A celebrity just serves as the spokesperson for the campaign; the brand or marketing firm is responsible for coming up with the concept and plot line.
The majority of influencers, on the other hand, are experts in their domains. They take part in producing the promotional content, and frequently, they even decide the message. The influencer is in charge of the voice and tone of the sponsored content, even though brands may give them a few parameters on what they require from the campaign.
The list is endless but these pointers were the main pointers that are very basic to the difference between celebrity endorsements and influencer marketing.
