Shoppable ads for influencers could boost e-commerce by removing the clicks and steps it takes to go from content to commerce, says Kamiu Lee.
“Introducing shoppable ads for influencers could provide a huge boost in e-commerce by removing the clicks and steps it takes to go from content to commerce. With each click needed to find the product, a brand loses a huge percentage of potential buyers, so the faster the path to purchase, the better.”
“Influencer-curated content with a direct-to-shoppable link is also likely to drive better engagement than shoppable ads directly from the brand. This is particularly true on social, where the consumer expects and enjoys having a personal connection with the content, not feeling as though it’s purely a brand selling its product.”
