The best tools and methods to measure influencer marketing ROI
The success of influencer marketing lies not just in the creativity of campaigns but in the ability to measure their impact. Without clear metrics and tools, it’s impossible to gauge whether a campaign delivered value for money or where improvements could be made.
ROI isn’t just about tracking sales; it’s about understanding the entire ripple effect of your campaign. Did it spark conversations? Did it shift perceptions? Did it lead to repeat customers? That’s what matters.”
Practical techniques for measuring ROI
- UTM tracking: Adding tracking codes to URLs allows brands to see exactly how much traffic and revenue an influencer campaign generates.
- Custom discount codes: Unique codes not only incentivise purchases but also provide a clear way to attribute sales to specific creators.
- Affiliate links: These links reward influencers based on performance, aligning their incentives with the campaign’s success.
- Social listening: Tools like Brandwatch and Sprinklr help monitor conversations, sentiment, and brand mentions across social platforms, offering qualitative insights.
- User behaviour: Platforms and tools like AppsFlyer and Adjust measure nuanced metrics like app installs and user behaviour.
- Competitor benchmarking: While direct comparisons are tricky, tracking social sentiment, search trends, and engagement metrics offers valuable market insights.
