Can you admit to swiping up over this lockdown period? We are all guilty of this as social media has become the new online retail platform. Brands work with influencers to promote their products through sponsored social media posts, long-term collaborations and partnerships. Successful influencers can also earn commission through affiliate marketing and some take it a step further by launching their own clothing brands. We love finding genuine influencers that don’t just do it for the gram! Many of us go to Instagram influencers for style advice as they feel more relatable than high end fashion magazines. They give us a glimpse into their lives and give real reviews, this is what makes them the modern-day model for retail and online businesses.
These are the influencers taking over retailers
