Micro-influencers: Blessing for Brands
Undoubtedly, micro-influencers are a blessing in disguise for brands. It has been reported that micro-influencers get 47% more engagement on their posts compared to macro-influencers. They don’t just increase a brand’s awareness but also make sure that a useful action is taken on their product by potential buyers and it’s not just scrolled above.
Micro-influencers are quite cost-effective as well compared to macro-influencers. Moreover, since they have highly engaging communities that share similar interests, it is easier for brands to tap into these highly selected communities, and reach a highly efficient level of targeting.
Bright future 😎: With the arrival of social tokens, NFTs, and tokenized experiences, micro-influencers with a good hold over niche are the equivalent of high potential penny stocks. Brands or fans investing in them today can benefit greatly in the future from their growth.
Lesson to Learn : A key lesson to be learned here from micro-influencers is building a community. By building a community creators can not only increase their engagement but also become an authoritative voice over a particular niche.

NFT Exhibits are Super-cool
NFT art exhibitions are gradually becoming a thing now. An art exhibition including the vivid, dynamic, and interactive works of 14 national artists who are skilled in the NFT sector was put up at Kochi’s Cafe Papaya. The exhibition, titled “Myths and Memes,” was organized by 101 India.
Numerous young people are purchasing NFT artworks for hefty prices, which is a good symbol for digital art’s future. NFT art exhibits of US$ 250 million have already been held in 2021 by renowned auction houses like Christie’s and Sotheby’s.
Previously, there have been a few NFT art shows held in New Delhi as well.
Redefining art shows 🎭 : NFT art shows will surely bring about a renaissance in the artist community. Earlier, art shows used to be a niche-thing only enjoyed by art enthusiasts. However, with the onset of NFTs, there are more people who are interested in art exhibitions, such as NFT collectors, Web3.0 enthusiasts, investors, startup founders etc.
Another reason why NFT art shows are quite amazing is that it provides a whole different viewing experience. More often than not, digital art works come with a corresponding music or sound which can be heard via headphones attached to the painting. Such captivating experience really enthralls the audiences.
Influencers, More like Solopreneurs
Influencer marketing has become a cornerstone for both major and minor businesses in a range of industries. Now that the industry is getting bigger, influencers are focusing towards launching their own brands. Such as Malvika Sitlani and her kick-ass brand Masic Beauty.
Since they are professionals at interacting with their devoted audience, they have cheap marketing expenditures and high engagement, which is a clear advantage because it reduces the risk associated with starting a new business.
Effective future plan: Starting out your own brand or business can prove to be a good step for influencers because there’s no guarantee that they’re going to stay an organisation’s brand ambassador forever. Moreover, it provides a sustainable source of revenue.
Support is around the corner 🫂: With the help of their community, creator can always take suggestions from their audience regarding their products. Moreover, they can also take feedback on new launches. This direct feedback & suggestions trumps any business models created by a consultancy firm. Also, this support is amazingly useful whenever a creator is facing a dilemma about its products.
Rules are meant to be broken?
The self-regulatory body, Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) estimates that social media influencers in the nation are to blame for 92% of all crypto marketing violations that took place between January 2022 and May 2022.
As per the ad council’s CEO, Manisha Kapoor, they have received 453 complaints about advertisements involving virtual digital assets. 447 of them have to do with influencers. 419 of the 453 ads that the council looked at needed to be modified, and the influencers were properly informed about it.
Lesson for Influencers: It’s advisable to go through ASCI’s influencer guidelines and crypto advertising guidelines. Some of the common errors committed by influencers are failure to include disclaimers about cryptocurrency trading and tags indicating that a certain post was a sponsored one.
What if you don’t comply? 👀: Being a self-regulatory body ASCI cannot ban influencers in case they don’t comply with the guidelines. However, ASCI can report the violation to the governmental bodies who may take further action.
Moreover, ASCI can publish the name of violators which can severely hamper the influencer’s image as well as stain the brand’s PR that they’ve been promoting.
