It’s true. Influencers are changing Christmas. As we wrote in our last blog post 75 per cent of online shoppers are expected to watch influencer videos before making their Christmas purchases.
Wow, let’s just stop and take that in for a moment. What it tells us, is, if you are not using influencers as a marketing channel you really are losing out on a huge slice of the consumer pie.
We know consumer trust in advertising is at an all time low and the use of ad blockers are exponentially on the rise.

It makes perfect sense that they’re turning to influencers who have gained their trust and loyalty.
Need a gift idea, not sure what to wear or cook. Have no fear online shoppers there is literally an influencer video ready for every Christmas eventuality.
