Influencer Marketing in TikTok for Garmin

13.04.2021

Collaborations with bloggers can give an impetus to the development of your business. In order for advertising to bear fruit, it is necessary to choose the right platform for the dissemination of information, choose blogs based on the subject and parameters of the target audience, as well as competently conduct negotiations so that cooperation is beneficial for both sides.

 

Today we will talk about how to use influence marketing to promote smartwatches.

 

Goals and objectives

 

Our goal was to spread the word about the Garmin smartwatch line through the publication of promotional videos in TikTok.

 

To achieve the goal, the following tasks were set:

 
  • 1. Find relevant blogs by topic.
  • 2. Agree on cooperation.
  • 3. Deliver products for review.
  • 4. Provide reporting.
 

Before proceeding to the story about the project, we will give a few words to the customer.

 

About the customer

 

We have been working with Garmin for many years – the company trusts us with complex projects, and each time is satisfied with the result.

 

This time, our goal was to promote the Venu Sq Music Edition watch line.
The models in this series are designed for people who lead a healthy lifestyle. The device tracks important health indicators (heart rate, amount of sleep, stress level, etc.). In addition, it can work without recharging for 6 days, can be used for contactless payments, calls and Internet access.

 

With the help of a watch, a person can monitor the state of the body, plan workouts and rest, measure health indicators and, of course, select and download music for classes.

 

Implementation

 

During the negotiations, it was decided to order paid placement from popular TikTok bloggers. The search was focused among channels about sports, nutrition, and training. In this way, we hoped to attract an audience that would be potentially interested in buying the client’s products.
Did we manage to achieve our goal? We will tell you more!

 

So, we were faced with the following tasks:

 

Search for performers

 

To implement the project, we searched for channels in the TikTok app. The selection took into account the topic of blogging, the number of subscribers and the average number of views of recent videos, which helped to predict the coverage of videos with advertising integration enabled.

 

Together with the customer, it was decided to offer the recording of commercials to 4 large ticktockers:

 
  1. 1. Ekaterina Hristas-the girl records entertaining and motivating videos about weight loss and a healthy lifestyle, gives recommendations and offers effective ways of training for different muscle groups.
  2. 2. Vera Biryukova is an Olympic champion in rhythmic gymnastics and runs her own channel, where she shares her daily sports routine, gives advice to those who are interested in gymnastics and stretching.
  3. 3. Daria Chepyzhko, whose blog is dedicated to magic tricks and funny tricks. The girl reveals the secrets of magic tricks so that everyone can repeat them on their own.
  4. 4. Daria Chumakova shoots funny videos from the gym, does not hesitate to demonstrate acrobatic tricks in public.
 

Next, we contacted the influencers to discuss working conditions.

 

Approval and negotiations with performers

 

After the list of bloggers was approved, we had to contact them and clarify the terms of cooperation. It was important to know the approximate time of integration, format, cost, and the possibility of delivering the product to the review.

Influencer Marketing in TikTok for Garmin

We agreed not only on the video, but also on adding a link to the products in the profile header. The link was in blogs from 2 days to 2 weeks. This is a prerequisite, because customers can immediately click, find out more about the product and place an order.

 

Also, for each blog, the time of advertising integration was agreed – from 40 seconds to 1 minute.

 

Some girls have already had the experience of wearing a smart watch, while others have not yet used such a device, so our task was also to provide detailed instructions and help in drafting the text for the review.
The third step was the delivery of the props.

 

Product logistics

 

We checked with the bloggers the addresses to which we will need to make the delivery. A convenient pick-up time was also agreed upon to avoid hitches.

 

At the end of the work, the watch was returned back.

 

Constant monitoring of the progress of work is another prerequisite for a successful project.

 

Monitoring the progress of the project

 

The client wants to achieve their goals in the form of increased sales, the blogger wants to get more views and subscribers, and the marketing agency wants to add another successful case to its piggy bank.

 

In order for all parties to be satisfied with the outcome of the work, a well-coordinated work of a whole team of specialists is necessary.

 

Our managers made timely adjustments to the plan, were regularly in touch with the client and ticktockers, and monitored the indicators after the videos were published.

 

We have summed up the results of the project and are ready to share the results with you.

 

Results

 
  1. 1. The total number of video views is 812+ thousand.
  2. 2. The total number of likes and reposts of videos with integration is 40+ thousand.
  3. 3. There was an increase in requests for Garmin products in the Yandex search engine after the ad was placed.
 

Conclusion

 

Advertising through opinion leaders is a great tool for promoting your company and services. Contact us – we will analyze your audience and select bloggers, the placement of information from which is guaranteed to bring results in the form of increased awareness and sales!

Restaurant business in Russia in 2021

Pandemic of coronavirus influenced all spheres of business, including restaurants and cafes. The last one suffers losses more than the others. Despite this fact, the average daily turnover of the industry will grow by about 6%.   Restaurant trends are changing rapidly, especially due to the introduction of quarantine measures. If earlier delivery from the restaurant was not very popular, now most of the revenue is accounted for by orders for delivery and with yourself.   But what happen to restaurant business in Russia in 2021? Read our article to know all details.   Delivery and takeaway food   Delivery of food from a restaurant is the most important and relevant trend of recent years, which will only increase in 2021 due to quarantine restrictions. Especially if you are planning to open a sushi bar or pizzeria, this option is just a « musthave ». Without it, it will be extremely difficult to compete and, accordingly, quickly reach a payback. And the use of an automation system for a sushi bar or pizzeria with an integrated delivery module will be a significant plus when launching this option in an institution.   In addition to delivery from ordinary establishments, the number of orders from « virtual » restaurants that do not accept offline guests and prepare exclusively for delivery is growing. One of the new ideas on the market is « hubs » for virtual establishments: kitchens of different restaurants under one roof, between which autonomous cars run, picking up orders and delivering them to customers. This reduces the costs of establishments and makes delivery more accessible to visitors.   Casual segment and healthy nutrition   Fast-casual restaurants are opening more and more, a popular format for those who like healthy food, but do not like to wait long. In such establishments, guests receive food that is close in quality to expensive restaurants for little money, and the service here is slightly better than in fast food.   Franchises   More establishments opened under the franchise. Novice entrepreneurs do not want to risk their project, so starting a business on a successful and stable model looks much more tempting, which is confirmed by the statistics of open catering establishments.   Monoproduct   There are fewer universal restaurants « sushi-pizza-hookah-karaoke ». Guests increasingly prefer more narrowly focused cafes, pizzerias or hookah bars to such establishments — places where their favorite dishes are really delicious.   Fewer and fewer people are willing to settle for average quality in such supermarket restaurants, often for the same money as in cozy, atmospheric establishments. Hence the conclusion that it is worth focusing on single products: burgers, pizzerias, etc.   Pastries and sweets   More bakeries and pastry shops. Fresh pastries are in demand all year round, and you can place such establishments both in residential areas and on central streets with high traffic.   Craft drinks and dishes   An interesting and fresh trend of « crafting » in everything: dishes, glasses and drinks. This is not only a fashionable phenomenon, but also a creative approach…

Festive opening of cosmetics store « Ulybka radugi » in Perm

We have hundreds of projects of opening retail outlets. We are always happy to receive new tasks from regular customers, and this time we will tell you about the opening of a new store « Ulybka radugi », which took place in April this year.   Read more in the article!   Goals and objectives   Our goal was to prepare the outlet for the festive opening, including:   1. Conducting master classes on make-up 2. Festive decoration of shop windows and facade 3. Recruitment and training of promotional personnel   Next, we will tell you in detail about the preparation of festive event to the opening.   Realization   First of all, we needed to prepare the point for the reception of the first buyers. In order to attract people’s attention, we decorated the entrance along the perimeter with balloons in the color of the « Rainbow Smiles » logo. Bright balls of all seven colors of the rainbow became a great addition to the interior and created a festive mood.   We have trained promo models. From April 22 to 24, the girls announced the event and distributed advertising leaflets in the hall of the shopping center. The dress code was observed – the promo models were dressed in spring dresses and suits.   The results were analyzed and sent to the client in the format of a summary report and a photo report for each day of the promotion.   On April 24 and 25, makeup workshops were held with a guest makeup artist. Everyone could watch the makeup process, ask the makeup artist questions and get useful recommendations.   Results   The opening of a store is always a holiday for both the company and customers, as well as a wonderful occasion to organize a promotional event in honor of this. In the case of a brand that sells cosmetics and household products, a make-up master class turned out to be the best solution for attracting attention.   We were able to attract the attention of potential customers to the new outlet and increased traffic. Sales growth was noted!   The client was satisfied with the preparation and results of the campaign, and the promo models and the staff of our agency received the highest assessment of the quality of work.   Conclusion   Marketing agency « CLEVER marketing » – federal retailers throughout Russia trust us to organize and conduct events and promotions. We will take care of all issues related to the design of the store, merchandising, search for promotional staff and entertainment activities for customers. All together will help you achieve the desired goal in the form of increased sales!…

Premium product market in Russia

Economic crisis due to the coronavirus pandemic affected the business in Russia. But today the market is coming back to life. The revival is modest, but noticeable, and it will continue to grow. Moreover, 85% of experts expect the luxury market to grow in the next three years.   In Russia, as nowhere else, the premium class is such a specific category that this very concept is interpreted somewhat differently here than in Europe, where it came from. Why?   Firstly, the historical development of our country, which has been behind the « Iron Curtain » for a long time, played a big role. Secondly, the mentality of the Russian person forms a kind of perception of the premium class.   Despite the fact that the level of general well-being of the population is noticeably increasing, in Russia the stratum of well-off people makes up a fairly small percentage of the total population of the country. And those who make up this small percentage are different from rich people in other countries.   What is the luxury market in Russia   When we say « premium », of course, we mean success, well-being, quality. Taking into account this connotation, a program for promoting premium brands is being formed. But for the Russian consumer, such an aspect as the recognition of premium is also important to emphasize their solvency in a certain environment.   And if the mass market segment is quite simple to model, then everything is different in the premium category. It, in turn, is divided into narrower ones. The affordable segment of the premium class market includes perfumes branded by well-known haute couture companies, alcohol, pret-a-porter clothing. In terms of the use of marketing and commercial promotion models, this segment is similar to the mass market.   But there is still a premium segment of the market that is inaccessible to a wide category of the population — this is exclusive real estate, author’s jewelry, antiques, means of transportation (cars, yachts, air transport, etc.). There is a big difference between these two segments, which in the second case further complicates the promotion of products.   Particularities of promotion of luxury brands   The main difference between the promotion of premium brands is a higher price positioning, which forms a number of specific requirements. It should be borne in mind that often the premium audience makes purchases on the principle of « just to be more expensive ». This is a desire to demonstrate something to yourself and others. However, in addition to the high price, the premium brand should be radically different from others visually and in quality. Just the latter is sometimes forgotten, focusing on packaging, positioning, and pricing policy. The problem of fakes has a negative impact on the brand’s image as a whole. Distrust of the brand is formed, which does not contribute to sales growth at all.   As a result, many people get the impression that the premium class is just a bright outer shell, behind which a low-quality…
