Understanding the potential pitfalls is crucial for steering clear of missteps that can compromise the success of your collaborations. Let's look at some common stumbling blocks to avoid:</p><h3 class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_heading-sm__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="--TypographyColor:#13002d">Inauthentic partnerships</h3><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem">Inauthentic partnerships pose substantial risks to the credibility of both the influencer and the brand. Such associations may result in decreased trust from followers who perceive the collaboration as insincere or manipulative, leading to a decline in engagement and audience loyalty.</p><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem">To prevent mistrust, brands and influencers should ensure their values align, ensuring genuine connections with their audience. </p><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem">Influencers should endorse events they genuinely feel connected to or events they've personally experienced and enjoyed, fostering transparency and credibility. Similarly, brands should thoroughly vet influencers to ensure alignment with brand values.</p><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem">For example, an influencer known for promoting a healthy and active lifestyle unexpectedly partners with a 'sweet revolution' or 'burger boom' event featuring fast-food recipes. This type of partnership will create a jarring contrast with their established image.</p><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem">Followers, accustomed to health-conscious content, may perceive this collaboration as disingenuous, leading to skepticism and a potential loss of trust. The audience may question the authenticity of their endorsement and may even bash the event for aligning with an influencer whose values sharply differ from offerings.</p><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem">So stay true to your values and be careful in forming partnerships to uphold audience trust and brand reputation.</p><h3 class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_heading-sm__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="--TypographyColor:#13002d">Overemphasis on follower count</h3><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem">A high follower count may not translate to audience engagement since it's the quality of the followers and not the quantity that dictates influencer marketing success. The two most important signals are engagement and relevance. </p><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem">Ignore the follower count and notice how much they engage with the influencer content. Also, keep an eye on the type of content they interact with the most to decide if they're suitable for your event.</p><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem">Sometimes, influencers use bots or <a href="https://blog.hootsuite.com/buy-instagram-followers-experiment/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><u>buy followers</u></a> to increase their follower count. Look for a stark disparity between the massive follower count and minimal likes and comments — it's definitely a red flag!</p><p class="Typography_root__4bejd #13002d Typography_body-lg__4bejd Typography_align-match-parent__4bejd" style="font-weight:400;line-height:2rem">Social media algorithms can <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-important-manually-removing-ghostbotfake-inactive-abdul-kader-lbgoc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><u>detect inactive or fake followers</u></a> and limit the reach and engagement of such accounts. Even if algorithms were not to interfere, a large following loses significance without active engagement.
