Luxury brands have gravitated more towards influencer marketing in recent years. As consumers shift from traditional media to social media platforms, luxury is no longer about mystery and secrecy, but more about authenticity, quality, and personality. Working with luxury influencers is one of the best ways to reach out and engage with luxury consumers as they update the latest high-end fashion and beauty trends on their Instagram feed.
However, luxury brands have to pay more attention and select the right type of influencers when it comes to high-end fashion and beauty products. Relationship building with the right influencers can generate large amounts of engagement and buzz, but working with the wrong influencers may risk diluting the brand image. To reach a niche audience like luxury consumers, luxury brands are using influencer analytics platforms like Affable to analyse the audience demographics and find suitable influencers.
