Brands partnering with authentic creators are witnessing a remarkable surge in ecommerce conversion rates, often doubling their previous performance.
The shift comes as consumers increasingly prioritize authenticity and relatable content over traditional advertising. "In the beauty and fashion industries, trust is paramount," explains Shany Caidar, CRO at Creatable, the leading influencer marketing platform for ecommerce. "Consumers are more likely to purchase products recommended by creators they admire and trust. This is especially true when they see products in real-life scenarios, like a makeup tutorial or a fashion haul."
The Power of Authentic Content
The key to this conversion boost lies in the genuine connection between influencers and their audiences. Unlike generic ads, influencer content feels personal and relatable. This authenticity translates to higher engagement, increased brand trust, and ultimately, more sales.
"We've seen a significant shift in consumer behavior," says Sandra Damian, Campaign Manager at Creatable. "People are tired of polished, unrealistic ads. They want to see products used by real people, with honest reviews and demonstrations. Influencers provide that crucial layer of authenticity."
