Micro-influencers have stronger, more trusted relationships with their audiences, often consisting of friends, family, and close acquaintances. This relationship proximity makes their recommendations feel more personal and compelling compared to macro or mega influencers.
Because of this trust, micro-influencers:
Have higher engagement rates
Drive stronger eCommerce conversions
Are more cost-effective since most are willing to promote brands in exchange for free products, without requiring additional monetary compensation
Their authenticity and close connections give them a level of influence that larger influencers simply can’t replicate, making them a powerful marketing asset.
