“The customer is always right.” We’ve all heard the saying, and we’ve all definitely seen the impact the customer can have on a business. Apps have been developed solely for the purpose of customer reviews, and bloggers have a major influence on the success (or failure) of a product. Simply put, customers can make or break a business or brand.

The voice of the customer has always been powerful: customers listen to other customers’ recommendations. Social media has fundamentally changed the dynamics between customers and brands because it enables peer recommendations to play a large role in purchasing decisions. As a result, influencer marketing is increasingly important, as it helps enhance peer recommendation.

So, exactly what is influencer marketing? It’s simply a method of identifying influencers and working in collaboration with them to help get the message out to their audience.
