Tabla de contenidos

The use of social networks is on the rise to this day due to the development of new platforms, such as TikTok, or consumer trends, such as X (ex Twitter). This increase encourages influencers to increase their budget to collaborate with brands, as their audience is getting bigger and bigger.

In the following article we will mention the multiple aspects related to the budget it takes for a brand to hire influencers to spread messages on social networks.

Collaboration with influencers

Developing an effective influencer marketing strategy is a dynamic process that requires continuous learning, particularly when allocating budgets to collaborate with influencers. Each influencer sets their rates for content creation, but it is crucial to consider the different adaptations that messaging may need to align with business objectives. This encompasses a variety of formats and approaches, such as paid posts, organic content, daily stories, videos, reels, image rights and more.

Factors influencing the budget

The budget varies depending on the different aspects mentioned below:

Number of followers

It is the factor that most influences the price of the collaboration, as this will determine whether your brand will be promoting a strategy with nano, micro, macro or mega influencers. This is why depending on the type of influencer you want to choose (or can) will depend on the price, since as the number of followers increases the rates are higher.

Daily influencer engagement rate

The engagement or interaction rate is the indicator that allows the brand to understand if the influencer you are about to choose generates engagement and interaction from your audience, since you will want your messages to have a high interaction rate, both for the influencer and for your brand (sales, website visits, etc.).

Type of content to be disseminated

Another factor that influences the price of the collaboration is the publication format to be used, whether it is just one or more than one. Formats can be stories, videos, reels or publications.

For example, the stories have a duration of only 24 hours, while the publications and reels remain visible on the influencer’s profile, so the price will be different depending on the format chosen.

Campaign duration

In turn, the amount of time that an influencer has to collaborate with your brand will make the price of the contract vary, since it is not the same a punctual and unique participation or a long term participation.

For example, a one-time campaign in which the influencer participates in a specific event usually has a lower cost than a campaign of longer duration, such as a Hot Sale-type digital event that lasts for several days. In addition, it is important to consider that long-term collaborations not only bring greater credibility and strengthen the relationship between the brand and the influencer, but can also result in better rates compared to hiring isolated actions.

Exclusivity

There are brands that have the conception that influencers who participate with them must have an exclusivity contract so that they do not have parallel collaborations with competing brands. That is why, if the brand wants the influencer to work exclusively for that brand, a higher price.

Platform to be used

Last but not least, the platform used will significantly influence the cost. Influencers can use Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok or YouTube, and each platform requires different types of content. For example, on YouTube, content tends to be more elaborate and longer in length, while shorter, more dynamic videos are preferred on TikTok. This variation in content type directly impacts campaign pricing and strategy.

However, you must understand that in a strategy with influencers you should not use all platforms, but the ones that your brand wants and understands that your audience is on. The important thing is to choose the right platform for each campaign and adapt the content and budget to it.
