Working with the Redskins is one of the shortcuts for us to build trust, essentially the Redskins use their credibility to endorse your product, but pay particular attention to one point is how you “ Impress ” The red man you're working with? This is not only money, but also the real value of the product, only with real value, so that the other party is willing to promote the product, in order to achieve the best effect, even beyond the influence of the red, so that the two go to a win-win situation, mutual achievement.

Common Red cooperation mistakes to avoid

- Follow trends blindly: Don't work with an influencer just because they are popular.

In terms of the choice of Redskins, matching degree is the core element, many of our POD clothing industry partners have chosen the wrong Redskins from the beginning, such as blindly pursuing the number of fans, thinking that as long as the amount of exposure is large, you can bring traffic, but in fact ignoring whether the Redskins fan group is consistent with their target audience. For example: a cross-border seller of beauty products, choose with the main fitness content of the red, although it may get a certain exposure, but the conversion rate is often not so ideal, and as an e-commerce seller, any of our marketing promotion, is to transform the service, the difference is only that it is instant conversion, or delay conversion.

- Ignore data analysis: keep track of activity performance and adjust and optimize strategies.

After the promotion, our friends in the POD clothing industry must regularly monitor and analyze the data, including the user's click rate, stay time, purchase conversion rate and other key data. Continuous data monitoring and optimization strategy can obtain better conversion effect in the promotion of Redskins. If you ignore data analysis, blindly invest, and look for, even if the cooperation of Redskins is you “ Think ” But the effect may also be unsatisfactory, and there may even be a Redskin with good initial effect and poor follow-up. At this time, continuous data analysis is needed, trade-offs are made, and different strategies are developed according to different stages of the product, such as the stage of pursuing transformation and profit, and the cooperation between the Redskins with bad transformation can be canceled. The conversion is general, but the cost is relatively high, you can also consider stopping cooperation, and if it is the pursuit of traffic period, you can consider continuing to cooperate with it, but to ensure that the flow of people brought by these is accurate flow, because only accurate, the future will be transformed, we can not pursue a temporary conversion data, but the ultimate goal is still conversion, there is no sale without transformation. There would be no profit, and everything would be “ Lose money ” The business.

- Lack of local thinking: Customize marketing plans according to the characteristics of different markets.

When promoting in different countries, our partners in the POD clothing industry should understand the local culture, customs, and language, especially the language expression in the red content. The localization team or translator can make adjustments to the promotion to ensure that the content is in line with local language habits and expressions. Only marketing strategies that meet the needs of local consumers can truly use the influence of red people to achieve marketing purposes. On this point, in fact, when looking for red people, EZEJ Technology suggests that you can choose local red people for marketing, and let red people with creative ability freely play creative roles. We only provide materials. May be a better choice, of course, the specific marketing content, must depend on different red people and different marketing stages, do not blindly believe each other, need to verify and think.
