How A Start Up Can Run a Successful Influencer Marketing Campaign

Influencer marketing, in recent years, has emerged as an effective marketing tactic to boost up the sales of any products. As its name suggests, it is a kind of marketing in that business owners endeavour to influence the mind of their target audience with the help of those people who have some influence on the masses and whom people listen to attentively and follow.

Cafe Du Monde signed Kim Kardashian to influence its target audience. The list does not end here. It is so long that a long blog can be written on this subject.
